I promise my blog will not become re-posts from Reddit, but I do feel compelled to post certain things I find on my blog. It’s my blog anyhow, I make the rules here!
When working in SEO it’s important to realize that Google uses past searches to influence new ones. Because of this, testing a search term can have obfuscated results. If you are searching your own websites’ name or the same terms over and over, it will affect the order in which your results appear.
Of course everyone has their own history, so searching Google with a clean slate doesn’t exactly guarantee that it will give you a better picture of where your potential readers or customers will see it, but it will give you another perspective.
Outside of changing preferences within Google, the only way I know how to achieve the search results with no influence is to add
&pws=0
to the lengthy URL that Google generates after you perform a search, and then hit Go/Enter.
If you know of a better way to achieve this type of search, please let me know in the comments!
