De-Personalizing Google SERPs

If you're a webmaster and you check your keywords on a daily basis, then you need to de-personalize your Google search results. The reason why we do this is because Google personalizes your searches on your computer based on what sites you've clicked in the SERPs. This needs to be done when you notice that the rankings in the search results differ from computer to computer. To de-personalize your search, all you need to do is put this code at the end of the url box of the SERPs page: &pws=0

Here's where it would be placed when I search for the keyword "blog" in Google:

Before:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rlz=1B3GGGL_enUS276US279&q
=blog&btnG=Search


After:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rlz=1B3GGGL_enUS276US279&q
=blog&btnG=Search
&pws=0

Once you've entered the code at the end, hit enter and the rankings should be de-personalized.
