Are You Skewing Your Own Google Results?

When you do a search on Google the results may differ based on whether you're logged in or not. This is because Google may be personalizing the results based on previous performance.

I ran a few searches while logged in at Google on Firefox and I ran a few on Safari (where I wasn't.) Here are some results:

Keyword: "flyte"
Logged In: flyte.biz #6, flyteblog.com #4
Logged Out: flyte.biz #3, flyteblog.com #5

Keyword: "maine web design"
Logged In: flyte.biz #5, flyteblog.com n/a
Logged Out: flyte.biz #5, flyteblog.com n/a

So, looks like a mixed bag. Sometimes Google served up different results, sometimes they were the same. If you think you're doing particularly well (or poorly) on a given keyword, you might want to do a reality check by logging out and trying again.
