Just noticed something really strange while checking google serp.. I found that my site is listed twice on a specific keyword. Once on page 5 and once on page 7, identical to eachother..
Example:
Searched for: My Domain
Result on page 5:
Title: My Domain
Description: this is my domain
Url: xhttp://www.mydomein.comResult on page 7:
Title: My Domain
Description: this is my domain
Url: xhttp://www.mydomein.comChecked a few hours ago and now, still the same.. ctrl+F5 still the same..
Is this possible (well, it appears it is, but should it) ? And I see potential hurting comming up for duplicate content..
yes, very possible. I see this with our sites – and I’m only ever looking in the first five pages.
Quite often they will be list one immediately after the other as well – almost as if the second page “piggybacks” on the higher rank of the first listed page.
EDIT :
However, I have assumed that you are talknig about different pages on the same domain – in rereading your post – I’m not sure thats what you are seeing?Same page is not possible, it may be that this google update going on, due to that
Yes it happens but it’s always two seperate pages. Well – it *should* always be two seperate pages
Things like that happen when G is doing some updates.

One other thing I just noticed .. one of the results has a cache link with it, the other doesn’t have.. (altough exactly the same adress)
Edit: Thanks to Elgoog who showed me a range of results regarding this question.. One was a tiny difference in the domains.. One showing a “/” the other just the domain.. Unfortunatly I the results are back to normal, so I can’t check now..
lol.. I’ve got two results again.. now page 5 and 6 show the same result for one domain.. it’s really strange.. I did found one difference, but noting else..
Domain on page 5 doesn’t have a “cached” link and doesn’t show size.
Domein on page 6 has a “cached” link and shows 66k as size..
I’m just confused..
I sometimes find that if I am still logged into Google Webmaster Tools, when I do a search, I get slightly strange search results.
yes I already tried logging out, removing google web history and google bookmarks.. still there.. and I’m still without a clue..
Page 5 and Page 6 of google… still strange if you ask me.. (and hurting my ranking I’m thinking)
I’m thinking the domain on page 5 is some kind of redirected page being indexed or so, because google doesn’t cache it and doesn’t know it’s size.. But no sure yet..
