Can't understand my google position

In Google webmaster tools, it is being shown that my average position in Google for the keyword - "hindi jokes sms" is 11. When I search "hindi jokes sms" in my PC in Google Chrome, the position shows as 9. But in internet explorer, when I search for the same term, I cannot find my position anywhere. In a Google position checker also, the result is "nowhere in 300 positions".I tried my website loading in the incognito window too in Google Chrome, but it still showed up. Can you please do me a favour? Please type "hindi jokes sms" in Google.com and please see if my website jokesnfunnypics.com is there anywhere in the top 20. Also please not that in Google Webmaster tools too, the average position is 11 and I know that I have got enough of natural links.

    Google personalizes the results based on your browsing activity. As you visit your own site regularly, Google will show it in the first positions FOR YOU. For the rest of the world though, it may be nowhere to be seen. That's why we use tracking software.

    Initially I'm also facing same problem. When I've clear all cookies of my web browser then I got my answer.

    Yeah. It just show the average position. If you are searching for the particular keyword then it will show in a higher position coz google personalize it.

    Since nobody else is actually answering your question, I thought I should do that...:rolleyes:

    When using unpersonalized Google.com search in Firefox I see your site #10.

      I see you as #15. On a side note, google webmaster tools is giving you an AVERAGE..so note that. You are also getting a personalized result on chrome.

    Google Webmaster tools gives you average ranking in all countries for the keyword. Dont rely on that.. Use SEO book rank checker tool in firefox once. Hope this helps you..
