Interestingly, doing a search of keyword site:mydomain.com shows Google ranking my pages in a very strange order

Kabby, nice catch. I did that with my site (which is a mature site that was sandboxed on Sept 23).

I tried searching for the titles of the pages that were at the top of the results. One of my pages appeared near the top of the SERPs. The strange thing is that it was the wrong site. It was my site, but not the one the page is actually on. Both sites have a lot of similarities. The page that appeared in the SERPs was similar to the one I searched for. (I searched for chicago widgets and got windsor widgets.)

Google's description indicated that the keywords I searched for were on the page, but they aren't. The Google cache, which was updated on Sept 29, did not include the keywords either.

I searched for some other titles and found some other odd results.

This makes me think that Google is having trouble keeping track of large numbers of similar pages. The way to avoid problems might be to mix up the structure of the pages.
