Wrong SERPS: Search engine rankings wrong for your own site? Learn why and how to avoid wrong SERPS / rankings for your own pages.

Google and may be ( hopefully ) other SE get smarter year after year. Hence you may have noticed that your own site ranks high whenever you use your own browser to check for the keywords of a single page of your own site.

Wrong SERPS as a result of your own search and click habits

That's because Google uses your own preferences and historical search result click data and suddenly your own pages rank top ... and you are filled with joy ... except that the traffic rush resulting from a top 3 SERPS in a high demand keyword is missing.

Every serious webmaster checks now and then his own site or more precisely particular important pages in G and may be other SE as well. To see if at all you are in Google and if so where.

The wrong higher SERPS or even a top #1 SERPS of a particular page lets you assume that that page IS # 1 in Google. But that #1 only results from you clicking more often on your own pages independent of their real SERPS.

How to avoid wrong SE rankings in your browser display?

To see your true ranking in G, you need to have at least ONE other quality browser, for example mozilla or Konqueror or opera normally never used, except for rare cases of quality control. Hence on that "spare browser" you should have NO Google toolbar and possibly NO cookies ( empty all Cookies every now and then. ). Hence on that spare browser you have no particular cookie settings nor any SE toolbar telling Google about your preferences of particular sites or pages. Thus on that browser you get the search results all world would get.

One additional method to further verify true search engine rankings is to use OTHER than default Google domain for your search results. For example use Google.ru or Google.at or Google.cn or any other country-related Google to verify your own page / results. Cookies and preference settings appear to be Google domain restricted. Hence your preferred results may influence your search display only on your default search engine domain ( for example google.com or google.com.ph or where ever Google redirects you when typing google.com.

The frustration and work starts when you see to be much lower in SERPS as your daily favorite browser showed

To see the real rankings may be shocking - or awakening for you. The reality of Internet however is a tough and often ruthless competition. Wake up, keep on working, work in honest and clean methods by increasing quality and content day by day, year after year. With all top competition keep in mind that there most likely are people out there who started to work hard many years before you. Hence those before you are sincerely entitled to a search engine ranking above you. Most of the newcomers are but copying ideas and strategies from older websites. I look at many of my friends and see that some to nothing else but what I have started long time ago. At a time when there was no one to copy but empty cyberspace to be filled by truly creative people creating original firsts.

Many see how successful others are and do the very same, just with different background colors or fonts or slightly modified titles or photos from different point of view. But basically the very same.

God gave creativity to ALL. Hence a basic principle in our entire life is to remain unique and to keep on creating unique content no one else ever created.

The Internet with all new people just copying ideas and successful strategies from older guys one day may look like the taxi parking area outside a railway station or airport. Filled with waiting taxi - none of them doing real good business. Because most of them just saw the earliest ones to be successful and hen copied that idea and did the very same - out of laziness to create own business ideas and business forms.

Look at the need and problems of mankind, then create your own ideas to be of use

There are 6+ Billions of people on earth - resulting in many times 6 Billions of human created needs and problems to be solved. Eventually with your help, if you . That is your treasure to fill that gap of needs and solutions needed for others to be more happy and enjoy a better life. Open your heart, see the needs of others and create what they need. Be unique, be creative and be ready to work hard for years and decades - for an entire lifetime and beyond, rather than copying others for fast and temporary success.

By the end of your days on earth only your self created unique content counts. What you invent and create with your own God given soul and creative mind is what proves true love toward all mankind. Only true love survives, all else will be trashed. Only unique content remains beyond your death, all else will be trashed as well.

Love and Bliss
