Organic Rankings Higher When Logged into Adwords

Is this Google's version of creating "customer delight?"

If I have an active session in Adwords, and I go to google.com and search on my target phrase blue widgets, I rank #1 in the organic results. If I log out of Adwords and search again, I rank #11 in the organic results.

I've been testing this for two weeks, on different machines with different ISPs, and the results are always the same....#1 when logged in, #10+ when not logged in. Makes me wonder...does Google manipulate its organic results for known (paying) customers?

Try it for one of your target phrases and let me know if you see something similar.

When you are logged into Adwords, you are also logged into Google Accounts. When you are logged in, you get personalized search results and the organic results can vary depending on what you've been searching for in the recent past.

I've seen this move other sites around, while my site stays in the same place - depending if I'm logged into Google Accounts or not.

So they don't just "manipulate" for paying AdWords customers, but anyone logged into Google Accounts.

There were posts from a couple years ago on how to disable personalized search, I'm not sure if it still works or not.
