---- Better ranking in 100 million results than 2 millions?

I used to be at #1 within 3.000.000 results, but didn't reach a top 10 position for a keyword with just 32.000 results no matter how hard I tried.

As tedster said, the pure number of search results does not mean how hard it will get to achieve good rankings.

The number of AdWords displayed and the average CPC says more about how competetive a keyword is.

BTW these days NOT trying hard could end up in better rankings anyway, but that's a different story which ist described in the 950-thread ;-)
