Google Glitch? Anyone else experience this?

So I have a website that I've been building links to for quite a while now. The main keyword is a very competitive one in the financial niche. So about a week ago I noticed I was on the first page. I checked on several computers and I showed up in the same spot. I did this just to make sure it didn't have anything to do with recent visits or anything like that.

Anyway when I run the rank checker on Market Samurai it shows it on the 9th page. I click through and sure enough there it is. So without changing anything and my keyword is in the search box I hit search. Well now it's on the first page. It's been like this for a week. On Google webmaster tools I am receiving no impressions and I have no clicks for this keyword so I think it really is on the 9th page. The competition is fierce and I don't think it should be on the first page yet anyway.

The KW gets 250k searches a month so just being on the first page should yield a boatload of impressions. Anyone else ever experience this?

tl;dr - My site shows up on the 1st page of Google but everything else indicates it is not.

the other rank checkers might be slow to update, google webmasters is always a few days behind. Your best bet is to check google analytics, set the date to today and see, if there is a spike in traffic you are on the first page. If traffic is normal you are getting a personalized result

If you'd like to see the true unbiased results for a Google search, use the Scroogle Scraper. To find it simply Google "Scroogle scraper".

This will show you the results without any personalization.
