As of this morning, a search for my favourite target kw is bringing my own site up as #2 on page 1.
You'd think I'd be ecstatic, since it's a major jump up from its previous position half way down page 2. But I'm more of a skeptic sort.
I've compared SERPs with a colleague in another country, and they are seeing less exciting results; indeed they're in tune with what I saw yesterday.
The dramatic change to my SERPs is an *illusion*.
I'm not signed in. And I've use the "/ncr" feature to turn off country redirection.
Yet... Google is still localizing me.
Is there a new way to turn localization off, besides using a proxy?
Maybe they're still sniffing my IP. Or is there some other force going on? Are they reading a Facebook cookie or something?
