Wrong Serps returned

Not seeing the same results as others

Hi,

For some reason, the last few days, I have been doing searches for the same regular terms I target on Yahoo, and the Serps are showing total dross. That wouldn't surprise me if I was looking in Google but that's for another forum.

A colleague based 12,000km away had the same problem a few weeks back but it cured itself after a few days, and he was seeing correct serps again. I can see the correct ones now using an anonymiser product.

This leads me to think they are somehow able to identify my ISP / me as a user who regularly looks at the same serps and they then serve up nonsense deliberately? Clearing cache / cookies etc doesn't help.

Any ideas? I'm stumped.

Cheers,

Phil
