      Hi

      Today I went from 8th to 1st place for my main keywork ( barneklær) childrens clothing in norwegian . Ive been trying to link build regularly. Last couple of weeks ive gotten links from a few catalogues and some blogs and I by no means expected a rank increase like this. Ive tried to look them up to understand why this happened - but i cant understand it. Any ideas as to how i can find out. I just dont want to drop 7 spots again without knowing what happened ..

      Sites URL  www.epleskrinet.no if that can help .

      Thanks

      Dan Lærum

        How are you coming up with a 1st place ranking this might be taking into account your personal search patterns and location more than actually ranking for this term.

            In the US your website is not showing up as #1. You may have to log out of your google accounts and clear your history. I sometimes ask my friends to google my company to see their results because they never search my keywords. Good luck!

                Easy double check is to use Chrome - open a Chrome session and then do CTRL+SHIFT+N - opens Chrome in "incognito" mode...

                "You've gone incognito. Pages you view in this window won't appear in your browser history or search history, and they won't leave other traces, like cookies, on your computer after you closeall open incognito windows. Any files you download or bookmarks you create will be preserved, however."

                You can also add the "Google Global" extension (FF & Chrome)...

                Google Global extension for Google Chrome - version 1.0

                This extension allows you to get Google search results from different countries, regions, cities and US zip codes
                To download the latest version, please visit the extension page

                Hope that helps...
