So a week ago, I created a review site (Operation Scar Review). My target keyword is : Operation scar review

With Google Chrome, my site ranked #2 in Google for "operation scar review"
With Mozilla Firefox, my site ranked #1 in Google
With Internet Explorer, my site ranked #1 in Google
With Blackberry's browser, my site ranked #4 in Google.

What's happening here??

    Personalized results can influence where you fall and diffferent browser might have different trackers on you.

    I agree with Mike.

    Also, the different browsers could be sourcing different Google data centers.

    Mike's idea is more likely though.

    Another thing that can affect that is if you are logged in to your gmail account. Log-out and check the results.

    The google adword is not accurate as it also includes all other searches that google has on other networks.

    hi..
    I agree with michaell.....thanks for sharing this information.
    I thought about the caching and server farms. I repeated the same searches over the course of a few hours. I always got the same results. Meaning useragent A always got one set of counts and user agent B always got a different set.
    That is still a possibility though, but that would mean the caching was based on user agent or that the server load balancing was based on user agent.

    That's called Personalization.

    Browser clear history, clear cache can also help and give you exact position of keyword.
