Google Search / Ranking question

_Brian · 2016-09-02 15:55:16

Just wondering... If I use "incognito" mode in my browser and check my ideal search terms for my products, are the results unbiased in relation to my search history etc, is it a good independent way to verify first page positioning as a customer would see it..

here's the bizarre thing - you and your client may still see different things! Depends on servers, IP, location etc - ignoring that...

That will sterilize the results for both in terms of ignoring your history and personalisation

(thats the &pws=0 on the end)
