Search Engine Results on Mobile Phones

    Has anyone noticed that sometimes the search engine results on mobile phones are different compared to classic results?

    I have an iPhone for about a year now, but previously I had a touch screen smart phone for about 2 years. I have noticed this difference in how search engines display results on mobile devices many years ago.

    For example: When I use my iPhone to search Google, it seems that the search engine results often seems to display results with my websites listed at a different position compared searching for something at Google on a desktop computer.

    When I am searching for something using Google on my iPhone, by default it displays results in mobile phone friendly format. At the bottom when I click on Classic and search for the same keywords, I often get different results.

    I prefer using the classic results view because it allows me to view Google just like searching from a computer.


    Does anyone else switch to Classic Results Display mode when searching Google from an iPhone, internet ready cell phone, or mobile device?

    Hello,

    I am not sure if your phone has gmail or google accounts set up in them but I know I am using the G1 which is a google phone and it logs me in to my account automatically when I turn the phone on, so if the sites are set up in my analytics program on my account then my sites are promoted on my results.

    This may be what you are experiencing, because if I was to switch to classic mode on my phone it logs me out of my google account and the results are different.

    No, I have not logged in to Google on my iPhone, I like to use it to view the results of my SEO work while I am away from my desk. I have a lot website to keep track of and I like to monitor the progress of new websites that I launch as well.

    I spend a lot of time searching at Google and viewing search results on my iPhone, and while I am at my desk working from my main computer.


    I guess this could be one of those things that most people do not commonly notice.

    because its google different result happened most of the time maybe it because of the fast updating of their data centers.
