Google is pissing me off

I have a site I'm trying to rank for a paticular keyword phrase that I think will bring me some nice sales. I'm getting hits for that keyphrase but not that many, only a few hundred a day.

So I check Google to see where it's ranking my site and am surprised to find it on page 1, in the top 5. That can't be right, it's a popular search term according to Google Trends and the hits I'm getting in no way bear out that position.

I try different browsers and get roughly the same, I even tried my smartphone, over my wifi and gprs and got the same - in fact it puts it at #3.

This can't be right thinks I, so tries http://www.searchenginegenie.com/goo...k-checker.html and finds that it's not in the top 100 results, as I would expect.

So how the fuck do I get Google to show me the true results, that everyone else sees? And why the fuck is it showing me my site at #3 when no-one else sees it there? I've not got Web History on before anyone says it.
