I just typed my keywords into google And to my amazment I was at the top of Google, as below Starred results for carpet cleaning 1. Carpet Cleaning - www.masterclean.com/ and it had a yellow star at the begining I have never see this, anyone know
That's because in your Google account you bookmarked your own website.... Your not actually the first result. It just means that you have your own website bookmarked.
Ah ha, couldnt see the wood for the trees Thought it was strange when it just poped up. Thanks for clearing that up for me
It's actually a great way to check to see if you're ranking for keywords. What I do is bookmark pages of my website and then google them. If it shows up as a star result I'll check to see if it's in the top 50 results. And don't worry I know of alot of people who made that mistake.
Thanks, that's a really good tip. One question - does it show up as a star result even if it's the 876,654th ranked page? Or is it only for top 50/100/whatever?
LOL. Even though Google says it has millions of pages. The search only goes up to 1000. You can check this by going alll the way down to the 100th page. That's where it ends. If you're website is within those 1000 results it will definately show. However I have noticed on rare occassions the webpage is ranked and doesn't show up as a starred result. Not sure what's going on there. It's actually rare but it does happen.
i have searched by your keyword "carpet cleaning" in google.com but your website is not present in top 5 pages also. i think you were either logged into your google account or not cleaned cookies of your pc from long time, probably this might be the reason please check.
