Serps behavior little strange

Potentially good but...

I have some serps for some doubled-keywords (violet widget)and they go very well, first page(< 100.000 results)!

For similar, very similar keyword, (red widget) I have NO result (> 500.000 results!). I mean that i'm not listed.

Now I think:

Google understands that my pages are "so well" that he can't put them too back in serps, so he actually wait for (?) some "space" to put my pages in a "good position" as they are, according to google standards, very well optimezed.

What do you think about it?

1. 100.000 is very little
2. If you're not #1-3 you are _not_ doing well ;)
3. A double keyword that's not #1 for a 100.000 results SERP is doing bad :-D

Uh?


2. If you're not #1-3 you are _not_ doing well ;)

In lots of keyword I am 1


3. A double keyword that's not #1 for a 100.000 results SERP is doing bad :-D

...I would like to get these results in fact...

Thank you for your reply. I will be very happy too if you give me your opinion to my questions.

I did.
Well, I thought I did :)

1.

Google understands that my pages are "so well"

It doesn't think your pages are "so well" so the rest of the idea doesn't need to be analyzed :)

2. Even if it would think your pages are exceptionally good, then it would be absurd not to list it.

3. The SERPs are continuous (like floating point numbers): there will always fit another result between two existing.
Your idea requires the SERPs to be the discrete (like integers): if 2 numbers are direct neighbours there won't fit another one in between

I understand what you mean, and I think you are right.

This idea "born" in my mind because in some keywords (tipically from 100.000, 150.000) i am *not* listed but others pages absolutely irrilevant with that keyword are indexed in Google.

Thx for your reply.

Joker, there are so many factors that go into ranking that it's hard to tell why some do well and some don't without looking at the sites thoroughly and the particular market and keywords.

If you're not #1-3 you are _not_ doing well
A double keyword that's not #1 for a 100.000 results SERP is doing bad

Sorry, but I can't agree with that. It's not all numbers that tell how competitive something is. Some phrases return over a million pages and they're still not competitive or really worth anything, while others return 100K-200K and yet there can still be heavy competition for them.

Yes, what Marcia said.
Particularly when a competitive result exists with high dollar per sale tied to a limited number of physical entities able to perform the sale on a keyword phrase with matches limited because of word usage. For instance, rank #1 for 'heli skiing' (23,000 results). Especially if you have to provide your own images for the site.
