Is Scroogle Accurate?

Hello,
I have 15 websites that i have built and have been doing SEO on for about 6 weeks.

When i clear my cache and i'm not signed into Google and i do a search for my keyword, my websites are mostly on the 3rd page-6th page.

Here is my question, i searched on Scroogle and it is saying my rankings are much higher.

I've got websites that aren't even showing in Google yet and scroogle is showing them on the 2nd page.

For my keywords and websites that are on the 3rd page, Scroogle is showing them on first page and very top of the 2nd page.

All the rank trackers i've used are showing results that are more accurate to a true google search.

What's up with scroogle?

    I've found that Scroogle is basically a Google forecast. If a page is on the 1st page of Scroogle and on the 3rd page on Google, expect some major ranking improvements over the next few days.

    Scroogle is the only rank checker I ever use--never failed me once.

    Thanks for the responses, I hope you're right Brandon because that would be awesome to see my sites jumping to the first page.

    Well according to the views as to what i have read about scroogle, they say that it's search results are accurate ones, still the geographical location of a person might cause a huge deal of variance with in search results to occur.

      Hey Anne, i am actually targeting keywords that are "local" in terms of information that the website contains, but there are no local results that come up.

      What I mean is that there are not any Google Places listings that show up with these search results becaues they aren't local business websites, such as attorneys, dentists, etc.

      Thanks for the response.

    Remember that you will almost never get exactly the same results as Scroogle even if you do a Google search being logged out and with your cookies cleared due to geographical differences.

      Thanks. So maybe the results that scroogle is showing is from one data center and the results from my google search is from a different data center?

      And hopefully the results I'm seeing on scroogle will soon be seen on my google search results.

        I've been using scroogle everyday for about 3 months to check my rankings to all the sites that I'm trying to rank for and it's pretty damn good. It's pretty similar to Market Samurai when I cross check my sites rankings. For some reason the last 3 days scroogle hasn't been working. Any body else having this problem?

    I have had a few issues with it not working, and it was saying forbidden by Google.

    I know it can't be accurate because my sites are still showing up a lot higher in the rankings in SCroogle versus when I do a manual google search. However, i am checking scroogle every other day or so and my rankings are fluctuating a little bit in Scroogle.

    I don't know what's going on, just going to keep building links consistently

    I tried one of my keywords and it shows my site being #2 in Scroogle, but when I do the same search in Google the site is ranking #10. I get this sort of difference across many of my sites. Many keywords that show as being stuck in the SERPs like in #2-#5 spots show up as #1 when I do the same search query.

    I only found 1 set of keywords for one site that show the same results for both Google and Scroogle and it the same #2 position.

    So I don't know if it will eventually get to that spot in the next week or so or is it just wrong data?

    My sites are ranking great in Google so I'm hoping it's a sign of where my sites will rank in the near future in a real Google search.

      I don't know about you guys but scroogle is still not working for me. It 's giving me this:

      The connection has timed out

      The server at scroogle.org is taking too long to respond.
