Tricked by my own Laptop

[JEREMY HAWKE]

I check my sites google rankings and could not believe it ..Page one in the UK ..!!!!
Wow !! but then I think how come the phones not ringing I then checked my blackberry without the WI FI sure enough page 10

So I did not not get £8000 pounds worth of SEO work for £200.00 .
Why do some computers save the most visited pages then put them on page 1 of your own computer to make you think your on page one nationwide ?

It's usually because you're either logged into your google account or your browser is saving cookies.

Log out of gmail etc. & clear recent history and try again.

Something like CCleaner is good for zapping cookies and the like

You might of been logged in to Google Analytics. Happens to all of us from time to time. You do a quick check and you're sitting in second place behind B&Q only to do the same test again in the evening and you're down on page three.

Try this -

https://adwords.google.co.uk/d/AdPreview/?__u=1000000000&__c=1000000000

Google Ad Preview Tool. Mainly used for AdWords but I believe it works for naturals too.

Mainly it may be due to the cookies, that store your earlier search results and when you search them again, it displays them in the top. Or it may be due to the location. In your region, it may be in the top. But, in a wi-fi network, it may be in the later pages.

Google personalised results

Btw Jeremy, what keywords are you trying to rank for?

I have posted this in another thread.
Its called customisation.
when you do a search look at the top right of the results and you will see web history . click and disable customisation

alternatively add &pws=0 to the search string and that will get rid of any customisations. With a lot of search toolbars you can set this as a standard search so you do not have to type it in everytime!

Or just do what i said and its permanent.

[beakus]

disabling customisations does work in part but I've still found some personalised searches.

pws=0 guarantees that you will not get any customisations - via your google account, location, cookies etc

It really anoys me how they do this, that's why i always check my rankings using chrome incognito because it doesnt store or use cookies/cache
