If a US English customer asked you 'What position is my site in on Google?', how would you lookup the info to make sure it's right for US English searches?
I know that you can go into advanced search options and tell it you want a particular language like English, and you can tell it you want United States, and it adds the following codes to the search:
&lr=lang_en
&cr=countryUS
But then when I add or use the typical US code suggested by SEOs:
&gl=US
It gives me different position in the search results?
SEP web tools that I've found all argue over the correct position, some agree with an un-tweaked search, some agree with tweaked results, and others just seem to be pulling from random numbers.. ;P
