Different serps

[jwdl]

Hi,

I seem to be making progress in recovering from penguin/panda. (maybe)

However I get vastly different results if I search google in different ways for example if I specify the geographic location as US (I am in the UK) for prom hairstyles ie http://www.google.com/search?q=prom+hairstyles&gl=us (which I believe gives the SERPs for the US or at least it used to) my site (prom-hairstyles.org) comes in at number two or sometimes on the second page.

But if I just search google.com it comes in at 450 or so.

My question is do you get the same and why such a big difference?

Thanks,

Ian

Ian,

I suggest using the ad preview tool https://adwords.google.com/d/**AdPreview**/ . The ad preview tool generally gives the most accurate results by specifying the geo location when you're doing your search.

Cheers,

Thanks for that.

Using what you suggest my site comes in 3rd for prom hairstyles (prom-hairstyles.org) is everyone else seeing the same?

Also if I go to normal google the site drops to 450 or so, why such a huge difference?
