Don't focus too much on checking your rankings every few hours. They can be inconsistent based on location, time zone, and other factors. You can be on page 1 today, page 3 tomorrow, and page 1 a week later. Look at the other factors which matter too, like traffic to your site and conversion. And keep us updated. Don't give up.

Yeah i made this mistake awhile back and realized that i needed to log out of my google account. Don't be dishearten though. I was on page 5 when I logged out of my now i'm page 1 position 7 so still a lot of work to do but it's getting there!

The same thing happened to me! I was so excited about being on the first page...until I logged out and tried it again. A few months later and I am on the first page for a few of my long and short tail keywords.

Keep at it and you will get there before you even realize it :)
