McDar Google Position Tool

    I just used that tool and when I enter MY url (without the http:// as it says to leave that off) instead of my url coming up it spits out this url:

    http://www.joeant.com/DIR/info/get/15542/77997 I tried it for other urls and the right one comes out; but for my url this url over at the Joe Ant Directory comes up. It's like the Joe Ant Directory has somehow hijacked my page?

    Can someone please tell me what is going on here? I've used this tool before and never had anything like this happen.

    Maybe I didn't explain this right. I'll try again. When I enter in MY URL and then the keyword to check for and then click on the submit button, instead of MY URL coming up, this URL:


    http://www.joeant.com/DIR/info/get/15542/77997 comes up instead?

    It gives the position in Google but it is giving a position in Google for this page over at the Joe Ant Directory?!? It's like some sort of re-direction is going on or something. Can someone explain what in the world is going on or is there something wrong with the tool?

    Same thing used to happen to me. What happened to me was my URL was listed on a page that was ranking ahead of me. The McDar tool then matched up that url with mine and was displaying that result instead of my result.

    I just used to use the http://. It still worked fine for me.

    Actually that happens when a larer site had the url of your site in the "snippet" Google displays.

    To overcome this enter your url like this: www.yoursite.com/

    That usually does the trick!

    Caryl,

    I've never thanked you for that tool (well tools) - both are great, I use them daily.

    :)
