toolbar ranking

seems to not quite reflect real site ranking

[leanweb]

keyword "big red widgets" returns my site in ~ 600+ position. my understanding of how google supposed to work is, it would build a list of webpages that contain _all_ query words and than arrange pages according to their rank.

well, that doesnt add up, unless i'm missing something.

my page certainly contains the words "big" and "red" and "widget". nevertheless there are 600 pages ahead of it, many ranked lower or not ranked at all.

what am i missing here?

thanks in advance,
