    Difference in ranking position and Google webmaster tool rank

    Hi .. this is not a g analytics q, but its as close as I could find.

    I am trying to find out how my ranking of a keyword is improving and I visually check it on Google chrome .. and it appears to be ranked five, BUT when I go into google webmaster tools it says that it is ranked 22 !!

    I am not logged into google when i am searching and I have turned off personal preference search results so none of those things should be affecting artificially raising the rank of my site on my search screen.

    the only thing i can think of is that somehow google places is deciding that in my state of Australia that it will boost me artificially (although for this keyword the usual google places A to G location placed results are not showing.

    Any ideas about the discrepancy?

    It is possible that google chrome is getting result from your cache so therefore you should check it in various browsers then compare it with google webmaster tool.
