Which should I believe?

For one of my target keywords, Market Samurai told me when I checked early today that I'm ranked No. 9, Scroogle shows that I'm at rank No. 16, Traffic Travis tells me I'm ranked No. 9 for the same webpage but for a related keyword, and this rank checking service What Page of Google Am I On? - A Free SEO Tool and Rank Tracker puts me at position 29th.

A manual Google search I did for the keyword in question reveals that I'm at position No. 15.

Now, I'm well aware that no rank checking tool is accurate but the differences in the results are way off mark. It's tempting to believe Market Samurai as being on the first page of the SERPs is just sweet reward for all the hard work in SEOing the webpage.

But I have second thoughts about feeling exhilarated about this.

Can you, guys, share your thoughts about it?

    Hello there! It could also be that your site is still dancing around a few times a day. MS or your own browser could return more favorable results because most likely your search has been personalized. I'd normally refer to Scroogle when checking ranks!

    Hope that helps!

      Any tools are not perfect, so please try to do it manually. You can get the results only after manually searching the results.
