HOw to read Google Webmaster tool's report?

    Under "Top queries" table, it shows:
    Queries 78 Impressions 1,300 Clicks 16

    What is the difference between Queries and Impressions? Shouldn't be 1 query = 1 impression? Why the Impressions are so greater than Queries? Can someone give me an example to explain this?

    In "Top queries" drop down options, I choose options: "Web" and "United States"

    Thanks a lot for your time to read my question!

    Queries = # of unique keyword phrases
    Impressions = # of times your URL was viewed in SERPs
    Clicks = # of click-thrus


    The screen is the "top search queries"... i.e. the top keyword phrases that brought traffic to your site during the selected period.
