I'm a little confused here, I've been experementing with one of my pages and SEO just trying to get it ranked higher for certain keywords but the results vary depending on which web browser you use.

If I use google chrome and search cctv system kent we're number 1 just under the map

If I use FF or IE we're not on the 1st page - all searches are in google but results are confusing me, any ideas?

Eventually the word will spread that checking rankings are useless.
Mind you it's only been SIX years now

5 Reasons Why Rankings Are A Poor Measure Of Success

EDIT
Added the word checking between "that" and "rankings"

You most likely have google tracking enabled on some browsers, this will give higher priority on searches to sites you have visited before or visit often, you have to opt out of this if you want true serps.

You'll definitely get different rankings in different browsers because of the personalization that Google does based on sites you have visited with that browser, which URLs you clicked on (or did not click on) in the SERPs using that browser, searches you've done in that particular browser, etc.

Yes, be sure to log out of Google, then disable History (top right hand corner)

Chris, it's one thing when you keep telling people that PR is useless,
but now you've gone off the deep end saying that ranking is useless.

When I rank above the fold for "buy viagra", I make tons of cash.

Explain why that is useless?

A way to tell how close you are to "real rankings" is to use allinanchor:yourkeywordhere . This is a great indicator as it shows exactly how many people have the back link anchor text for that keyword or keyword phrase.

Aha! I missed out a word, probably not vital but it does put it in a whole different context.

It is CHECKING rankings that is a useless pastime! Post edited

It's much easier with copy and paste than it was at school.

You must be logined in google, just log out and check the results, you will find it is same to IE or FF

Here is some reason

1) fluctuating Positions
2) search personalized
3) log in google account

AOL Google search seems the most reliable.
