keyword spy

[byronyasgur]

was trying out keyword spy - are the rankings that it gives ahead or behind time because if i put in a domain into the free form on the front page, it tells me it's google rank for various keywords; but they're not always right when you go to google and check them for the particular keywords (some of them are out by one or two but some of them are out by hundreds) - it seems like a good system but can anyone explain this and is it supposed to work this way

thanks

Its very normal to see that.

Two different possibilities I can think of is that the spy tool server is in a different country from you or your Google search is hitting a different data centre from what the spy tool is hitting.

Play around with this one and you'll see some difference's in the results too.
