Hmm. Does it mean that when I am logged in to Google I will received personalized results?

But if I am not looged in I won’t get personalized results?

Maybe you can ask others to do the search for you and see if the results are different how you fair in those results.

So that is the reason why one of my blog for Christian Song Lyrics ( pwsonglyrics.blogspot.com ) which is having visitors by google referral is having a low visitor started 2 days ago.

This is not good for starters of blog becuase the reality is Google helps a lot in referrals.

Have to agree with you on this one.. you can see when it’s useful, but often there will be times when it isn’t.

The personalized search is based on algorithm’s, but we’re human, and sometimes our searches aren’t always related… one day you’re searching about technology, the next day you want to know more about Aubrey Miles…

I dunno if it’s there, but maybe they should offer an option where you could have personalized search results and also the general public search results. Then you can compare and determine stuff.
