The reason we set it to 100 is to minimize the number of queries Google is sent. I may create an option for pulling 10 results per page.

Check. In Rank Checker google.com is just US, right? I'm doing contrasting searching from the US (and was careful to uncheck that personalized results box...great orientation video). I get that the regional thing might be skewing results too. For this particularly problematic query: #8 using pagerank/ google.com/ blocking personalized #5 when plain old googling from SF (and logged out of the googliverse) Tricky. Will keep hand checking, and use Rank Checker too. Thanks for the response! Check.

Canadians get different results than Americans than do Brits, Swiss, Kenyans, etc. It's also true that their API is not nesc. U.S. results. BUUUUUTTT, Rank Checker lets you explicitly select country codes. Go to Tools -> Rank Checker -> Options. As well you can select two different Google data sets to check. Another thing to keep in mind that Google results actually do vary, even in the same country. A 5 is not always a 5 at all places in the country. So while I really like using a tool like this to track trends over time, it's also good to test your important keywords manually. Rachel,

Difference between 4 and 7 is big. I got all excited, and then...not so much. Thanks for the link, nonetheless!
