| Oct 5, 2013 at 23:45 | comment | added | cyberx86 | The odd thing is that I have never noticed this site before (and I am sure I have a lot of queries that lead me to SE every day), but now that I am looking for it, almost every search that finds an SF result also has the other site listed (fortunately, the other site is almost always ranked lower). The domain was only registered a couple months ago. | |
| Oct 5, 2013 at 23:41 | comment | added | Michael Hampton Mod | Using a clean Firefox configured to use Tor, I see SF at #2 and the offending site at #3. | |
| Oct 5, 2013 at 23:39 | comment | added | cyberx86 | Interestingly enough, also the same results from a different device, not signed in to Google, but other searches still put SF ahead. Probably doesn't help that I clicked that result at some point in Google to see what the site was about. | |
| Oct 5, 2013 at 23:32 | comment | added | cyberx86 | I can corroborate that - and it crossed my mind before, but I expected that Google results were personalized by session/login and not IP (the screenshot above was taken in Chrome's incognito mode, and not logged in to Google). (I did see it in a lower ranking for a previous search, but had used different terms there). It is interesting to note that I am able to reproduce that result order in Chrome (signed in to Google), Chrome incognito mode (not signed in), Firefox (not signed in), both on google.ca and google.com, but not when using a proxy server - so definitely IP based. | |
| Oct 5, 2013 at 22:05 | comment | added | Michael Hampton Mod | This is probably also affected by personalization. I see the SF question at #1 and the offending site at #4. | |
