In my website account on Google Webmasters tools, some search queries show average position 1.0. This make me understand that it should be displayed as the first result. When I search for this query I could not able to find my website's page listed as a result?! In some cases I navigate to the third or the fourth result page and I could not find it!

What are factors that make my website loss its average position for a search query? and when Google webmasters tools updates their values?

    How many impressions does this particular search query have? Are you searching on google.com or a more local domain?

    Those values are highly inaccurate.

I found it Finally, The position that web masters tools regarded is correct. I find the same or near position in Image search! I mistakenly restricted the value to the web search only!

    Thank you! I was wondering the same thing and never understood that this number included position for different types of searches and was filterable.
