Different Results in Chrome, Firefox and IE?

[musillawfirm]

I clear the cache and log out from any accounts and I still get different results for the same keyword if I use different browsers.

Any idea whats going on? And which browser would have my true ranking?

I've never witnessed different results per browser.

Can you share your example keywords?

Make sure you're adding &pws=0 at the end of the url to make sure you're not getting any personalization.

There are lot's of variables that affect the displaying of ranking on the SERPs, some of them include location, account settings and many other things. Google also runs tests on their search results constantly so you might see some variation from that as well.

What does all this mean? Don't worry about the details so much but look at the overall trend to see if in general your rankings are going up or down. If you are tracking rankings manually i would use the same browser using the same settings each time to check the rankings, this you will use as your baseline. Then you will be able to monitor for any changes in rankings based on these set variables. If you then check other browsers you should see the same general trend even though the results may not be exact.

It could be the case of different browsers hitting different data centres which have not yet consolidated their rankings.
