My hypotesy is about overall theme of the content, about 'core bussines'. This is very dificult to verify.
KW2 is region and KW3 is a country where that ragion belongs. So far my business is focused on that region I would be highly listed. Becouse my business/agency doesn't operate on country level I'm not considered to be highly listed for this word. But remains question why it doesn't give me a page that DOES contain KW2?
What does the cached page say? At the top it should say something like "the following words appear only in links pointing to this page: keyword"
Perhaps you are forgetting that "miserable failure" is not exactly a competitive term.
It's not like those 30 links got that site to beat Amazon.com for "books" or some commercial phrase.
I could probably make your site #1 for "Purple Mayonnaise" with fewer links than that within 15 days, but that doesn't mean diddly.
yes they did, they gave you a website that is "listed and highly positioned an ranked too, for a word that page doesn't contain".
Find "miserable failure" anywhere on that page.
What does the cached page say?
There need to be some on-page factors to moderate these results and make them more relevant. The term 'miserable failure' isn't mentioned once on the George Bush site. And I gather they mostly came from a couple of dozen blogs. This doesn't make any sense at all (unless outbound links to 'authority' sites carry more weight.)

These terms only appear in links pointing to this page: keyword
These terms only appear in links pointing to this page: key words
That should mean that some page is linking to you with that as an anchor. I don't know how to search for exactly what page that would be.
How could you possibly know? It's quite impossible to get a listing of all backlinks, even with all the Web.com.
> The 'miserable failure' example is a classic case of the failure of Google's algo
It's one factor that made Google's algo superior to others.
One thing that could work is searching for the link AND the keyword. But its way beyond exact.
Google doesn't allow a search for 'link:' to be combined with something else.
I was referring to a normal search, without 'link:'. Sorry if I didn't make this clear.
How long does it take for you to write a keyword on a given page 1000 times?
How long does it take for you to collect 1000 links with the keyword in the anchor text?
a normal search, without 'link:'
I tried that, but I don't think that a normal search will turn up link urls - only link text.
why it doesn't give me a second level page
I don't know why the second page isn't coming up, but it's in the index.
to give me 4/10 PR
Google says you have links from 30 different pages of a PR5 site. That would easily give you a PR4.
In what way does this make Google's algo superior?
It makes Google look far from superior to me.
If the search phrase or keyword is not on the page that rates top in the SERPS, then it's crazy for that page to be anywhere in the results.
Probably alltheweb.com
But lots of other pages must have "voted" that page to be relevant for the search term.
Of course, you can game any algo. But some algos just make it a little bit harder.
Seriously though there seems to be a link between Google bombing commercial terms and what has happened post Florida. Before Google closed the allinanchor: "bug" searching for allinanchor:widget financial put me back to #1. This is only slightly interesting on its own.
Someone stickied me with a search term and URL for a search which was badly hit by Florida and the really interesting thing with the site at #1 in the standard search was that it did not contain the term on the page but it did contain words which described the word better than the word itself.
I guess that this could have been an anomoly. Before I saw it I thought that the whole Florida effect might just be that Google had grabbed a whole list of commercial search terms and switched of anchor text in the algo just for those terms. After seeing it and checking that the term had been affected by Florida I decided that the semantics theories might have a part to play as in this category anchor text was still very important.
Does anyone else have examples where the term is not on the page but where that page held its position while others around it fell. I would very much like to look at examples.
