MoneyOnComputer

I have been wondering for ages the situation with google search, and mainly the difference in results when searching. Here is a classic example of what is so confusing with their indexing.

I searched today for 'How To Make Money Online'.

This image is the result from searching using google chrome on google.com.au


Immediately I also search using internet explorer. Same search, and on google.com.au as well. Here is that result.


So when using google chrome I hit page 1, when using internet explorer I hit page 2. Same search terms, same google.com.au domain. Which makes me wonder, is there a conspiracy happening here or what?

Obviously, this makes me like google chrome more! Is this what google wants? Do they track your usage, your previous searches to give you index results you really want to see, to be on page 1? I have thought this to be the case for some time, but you know where thinking too much can get you, nowhere! Any thoughts guys? Same experiences? Would love to solve this riddle.

I think your onto something here MOC. I haven't done these tests before but I will start to pay attention now. Maybe you should do some testing on other computers that you've never logged into (like at a library or on a friends computer) and with other browsers like firefox to see what happens.

it's because maybe you have G+ MOC? they try to show results "most relevant to you" sign out, clear your cokkies and do it again - see if it changes. Show me some money shows up for all sorts of yummy keywords when i'm signed in lol.
apparently they are going to start searching peoples gmail accounts to improve the experience further! anyone heard about this nonsense?

I will be experimenting more with this, and genie, the +1 is the result that came up on page 2, I like your theory but the +1 should have been the one to show up on page 1 if that is correct. Grrrrr google, it's a love hate relationship I have with you..

After reading a few different forums on the same issue, there seems to be no real answer to this question. Alot of people have the same issues so unless I can speak to a google rep, just gotta live with it I suppose.

there is a lot of talk of people turning away from google because of totally irrelevant search results showing after penguin panda and poodle, I wonder if they actually will? I keep meaning to use bing but then forget lol

Google is like a zoo now, not sure where the poodle came from but the people running it are monkeys? Come and get me google, sue me I need the publicity lol

I was gonna try that too LOL - they can take everything I own for my 15 mins of fame hehehe

I have tested different computers and browsers and I get different results too pretty weird.
