Google Glitch? Anyone else experience this?

So I have a website that I've been building links to for quite a while now. The main keyword is a very competitive one in the financial niche. So about a week ago I noticed I was on the first page. I checked on several computers and I showed up in the same spot. I did this just to make sure it didn't have anything to do with recent visits or anything like that.

Anyway when I run the rank checker on Market Samurai it shows it on the 9th page. I click through and sure enough there it is. So without changing anything and my keyword is in the search box I hit search. Well now it's on the first page. It's been like this for a week. On Google webmaster tools I am receiving no impressions and I have no clicks for this keyword so I think it really is on the 9th page. The competition is fierce and I don't think it should be on the first page yet anyway.

The KW gets 250k searches a month so just being on the first page should yield a boatload of impressions. Anyone else ever experience this?

tl;dr - My site shows up on the 1st page of Google but everything else indicates it is not.

Clear your browser history, cache, and cookies and try again. If using firefox or chrome open a window in incognito or privacy mode.

Your search behavior can affect SERP position.

Ya, there's something else going on. Clear cookies, history, cache etc.

This'll happen because chances are you've clicked on your result a few times logged in or consistently from the same IP/computer.

Are you signed in to your Google account and did you +1 your own site? That will make it happen also.

That did it, I usually use Firefox but I tried in IE. I figured it had something to do with my browser history or Google specifically remembering that I enjoy clicking my own website.

Thanks!
