My site's position goes up when I repeat the search

[Pitafi]

Hello,

i am having some problems with google search results it shows. i have my site on number one for particular keyword on google. but when i make a search for a keyword first time, it shows some other site on the top, but when i search again for the same keyword it shows my site on the top. can anyone tell me what's this happening.

any reply will be highly appreciated.
thanks.

There are two possibilities I can think of immediately. The most likely one is that you are signed into a Google account and are therefore seeing personalized searches.

The second is that Google does sometimes change results based on a rapidly repeated query, even if you are not signed in, but my first guess is that you are signed in.

Even if you're not signed into your Google account, the results change after each search when using the same phrase. I've seen my site move up or down on the second search, sometimes dramatically. Competitor sites move as well.

Log out of any Google accounts, clear your cache and clear out any Google cookies, then search again.

I am seeing that on a repeat search I get a SERP with no supplemental results in it, and a flip back if I search again.

Check the number of results returned on both of your identical searches. Actually, there's a third set but it doesn't show often.

This sounds like a byproduct of the twin data set that we described in the Oct SERPs thread which describes two sets of data which seemed over the last two weeks to be folding into each other.

tedster thanks for your reply,

but i am still confused, when i make a search against some keyword,i am not logged on to google. and also before making a search, i do delete the cookies, and also clear the history. but still problem exist. when i first make a search and i saw the number of result pages equals when i search again for the same keyword. Please guide me that if google do this regularly or not? and why this happens?

thanks

the particular datacenter your query is hitting can also make a difference. You might try your query in a multi-datacenter query tool to see if there is a difference.
