I always think that everyone will see the same result when when Google.com is used. Your geographical location or your location for your ip will actually determines the Google result. This is actually the reason sometime I see keyword at my analytics or statcounter but I am unable to find the result in the first few page of Google.

I will take 5xmom blog as an example. She targeted the keyword “Make Money” and because I know this keyword fluctuate a lot, I did further research on different location. The blog is somehow categorize as a Malaysia site, I am guessing this because her blogs does include some Malaysia stuff.

Here is a result when I search through Google.com with my browser for “Make Money” term. You can see that her site is actually third. Which is pretty good for a 132 million keyword.

Here is a result of Google’s Ad Preview Tool for US result at Google.Com. There is no sign of 5xmom for the keyword “Make Money” up until the 100page.

When the geographical location is switch to Malaysia, it is first. But Thailand and Singapore shows slightly lower position but still on the first page.

It is pretty interesting to know that even everyone uses Google.com, it does not means that everyone will see the same result. Now the big question is how could we position ourselves at Google.com for US searches and not Malaysia searches.

Try Google Ad Preview Tool, and let me know what result you see.
