Google has been into ever flux for a long time. Some webmaster world members are discussing a possible update in Google in May. I have seen some changes happen to our sites and client sites so definitely something is cooking up with Google results.
When logged into Google Webmaster Tools, and using a particular search term, my site is in position 3 in Google. If I log out of Tools then use the same search term, it drops to position 4.
Can anyone please explain this? Its not a huge issue, as I am of course pleased with position 3 or 4, but I really am interested as to why being logged into Tools should effect the Google positioning.
I can consistantly reproduce this effect, for other search terms.

It does seem like Google had initiated a major update!

Personalization.
You've probably visited your site while logged in and Google remembers that you like that site so it gives it a boost in the rankings.
