In this last example, we can see that the ranking was improving each day. There is no question about it. Its information provided by Google.
It starts in position 48º and get to 8º position in 17 days... Yes, running it properly.
You may ask "why the number of clicks changes also each day?".
The answer is pure gold: Let me, first, give you some information... we give the same amount of clicks during all this days...
Then, again, the question is: why the first day it shows 5 impression and 0 clicks... the 3º day shows 18 impressions and ONE click...10 days latter it was showing 2,731 impressions and 350 clicks and at the end of this period it was showing 5k+ impressions and 600+ clicks? Remember: we gave the SAME AMOUNT OF DAILY CLICKS all this time.
Because we will not provide each secret that we learned in all this years improving rankings, we will NOT discuss about all this. We are JUST SHOWING.
The answer that we made, could show us several things, ONE is that Google seams to IGNORE a CTR variation, until it notice that it represents some trend and is not just a temporary variation. It looks that there is some threshold that you need to pass, to make Google to take seriously your CTR variation...
As we already explain, belive us when i told you that almost each user has its own theory about how Google works, we can't spend all day discussiong about it.
Also, we will not reveal many many secrets (like the one i just whowed you) that we learned in all this time, its our know-how.
We are not the smartest guys, we are just using our own knowledge, based on many-many-many tests all this years. And we will not discuss or share all our knowledge. I think that you could understand.
About Alexa... i can't believe that i have to expain about this... our internal browser does not have the alexa toolbar... so Alexa, will never notice all our clicks... They measure and calculate their information based on the toolbars that the users install on their web browsers. If you use IGR, yes, Alexa will NOT notice IGR's clicks... is VERY easy to understand. This tool was made for Google, not for Alexa.
So, please stop trying to discuss about it. We follow our own information and spend our time developing the software, not discussing about theories. Please understand.
Another thing: doing several searches from the same IP, could affect the Bounce rate. Per example. If you do a search and stay in the website 3 minutes. BUT 20 seconds after the search you do ANOTHER search from the same IP, it could affect your Bounce rate, NO MATTER the time that you spend on the website.

What countries do you suggest to use for good CTR? I believe in one of your earlier posts you stated that Google didn't care about geolocation. Is this still true today? I want to know what countries to either include or exclude in our campaign.
Google does not care MUCH about Geolocation.
Look the last image that we showed. You can see how fast the ranking improves.
The site was in London, UK. And the searches where from all around the world. But all the searches was done using co.uk version of Google.
Watching the image, we can ñearn that Google does not care that much about the location of the searcher, because Google gives a better ranking.
One secret: Google loves to receive a LOT of click FOR THE SAME KEYWIORD.
Again, talking about the last image: ALL THE SEARCHES WAS MADE USING ONLY ONE KEYWORD.
That is VERY IMPORTANT.
The most common mistake that we found in many users, is that they are trying to use several keywords... that "dilutes" the impact.
