Is checking your Google positions your favorite time killer?

Come on be honest, doncha love just typing in "Your City" real estate and reveling in your ultra high position? Well, if that is true then make sure you sign out of your Google account because you are going to probably show higher than when you sign out of Google.

The reason is that Google is tracking your visits to your own site, and as part of its personalized search algo is positioning your site (that you visit all the time), a higher position than the regular results (which is where your prospects will come from). It does this by tracking your hits or clicks.
