    Hi,

    I run a travel blog called nomadicmatt.com

    When I go to google and type in "top tropical islands" my site is ranked 4. If I type in "top ten tropical islands" I'm number 3. If I type in "best tropical islands" I fall right off the map.....so far I stopped searching after 4 pages.

    The post's title is "top ten best tropical islands" How come best tropical islands doesn't rank but the other ones do?

    This happens to a few of my posts too. They rank well one way but bad another.

    You probably have very little or no backlinks with the anchor text 'best tropical islands'.
