Cos, I have few sites, widget 1.com widget 2.com etc.
Don't get me wrong they do ok for two/three word stuff, but single word searches far and beyond, page 10/20 etc.
Why could that be, page one results are not as good a resourse as mine and my PR is higher than 90% of page 1 results. ( I know everybody thinks their site should be page 1 )
But I'm not complaining really, just intrigued
Anchor text stuff, keyword density blah blah blah is much the same as sites getting top spots.
Not a Florida thing, been the same for 10 months or so.
I know it's easy to say "concentrate on search phrases" and I do.
But how do the guy's get page 1 for single words?
I'm talking moderately competetive, around 2 million results shown. PR does not seem to matter, range from PR4 to PR7 on the front page, an average being PR5.
I'm glad you said that first. :-) Seriously though, it can be very hard to analyse a rankings situation where you have some emotional investment.
I wonder if those pages have more links from outwith their domain?

I don't think they even know :o) I have the same situation. I tend to think that most who use Google use a phrase. Other search engines (less popular and MUCH smaller databases) seem to get all the one word searches.

Don't focus to heavily on the amount of results determing the competitiveness of a search. Theere are many more important factors.
