Google Page One Results Question

I did a Google search on several of my keywords and several of them were on page one. Needless to say I was pleased.

Accept that a little phrase at the bottom of the listing caught my attention and I wondered about the validity of the results.

Below the listing for my keyword was this: "From your Google Reader subscriptions."

I did do an RSS subscription from my site. Does the message "From your Google Reader subscriptions" mean that I am the only one seeing this listing on page one of Google? Or is my listing a "true" result that appears on other people's search results ?

In other words, does my RSS subscription to my own articles skew the Google search results when I search for the keyword?

Anyone have any thoughts or insight on this?

    yes, your RSS feeds and past search history will affect the results. To work around this problem, search for your term using "Private Browsing" in Firefox.


    Hope this helps

    I clear my history often when I am doing Google searches to analyze where websites are ranked. Make sure that you are logged out of anything related to Google and clear your history before you do a search. This will give you the actual keyword rankings without bias.

    If you are using Google Chrome do it as an Incognito Window and do not log in to any Google Services.

    This is one of the reasons I prefer to use the Rank Tracker function of Market Samurai to check rankings for my pages and keywords.
