Here’s an interesting issue where I’d like to get feedback from our readers:
On my work notebook (Lenovo Thinkpad running Windows XP) I have 5 browsers installed (IE8, Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Opera). Depending on the browser I use I get different search results. So I ran the following test:
- Fire up all five browsers
- Type “best iphone photo editor” into each browser’s Google search box
- In all five browsers, run the search
The results are surprising – our site scores pretty high with this search term, sometimes even the #1 spot (but only in one of the browsers). In another browser, the search term hardly ever makes it on page 1 of the results. In the remaining three, it’s all over the place.
This Google search behavior is pretty puzzling to me. Here are potential reasons I can think of on what’s happening:
- Google uses information about the browser for scoring its search results
- Google uses information of past searches that were done through this browser type to score its search results
- Google uses information on browser optimizations done to the site to score the search results
Does any of our readers have any insight into this? If so, we would appreciate, if you could share the reasons.
