I am currently developing a gold miners investment website called www goldminersresearch.com and I am having a bit of trouble finding where I am ranked on Google. Obviously since I am checking the site so much on my computer it is ranked on the first page but when I check the site at my friends house it is ranked on the third page.

My question is this:

How can I properly check where I am ranked on google from my computer without seeing the false data?

may be its showing your high ranking when you logged in to gmail account, try to check it when you logged out.

Google has personalized search option. Google will offer you personal results by identifying your favorite sites. Clear cookies before browsing. Also log out from gmail account.

If you're log-in to your gmail account while searching your rankings on google you might see your site on first page and if you try searching again after you log out to your gmail account the rankings might change.

Like mentioned before ensure that you are not logged in in your google account.

If I don't find my page on the first page of the SERPS, then I use the online tool frrom seoserp to check my position for a certain keyword. http://www.seoserp.com/google_page_rank/1000_serp.asp

Look checking your rankings can be great but doing it tens of times a day will not change anything. Your Google Webmaster Tools too could be used for having a general idea about your web rankings and in most cases the numbers displayed are close, although not 100% the same numbers, to your actual Google rankings. Usually when your rankings are improved, you would feel the difference if the niches are competitive and your AwStats plus Analytics panel would show you the increased visits.
