SERP: Phrase or Broad Match?

    Weird I rank #1 in the phrase "paid surveys" when in quotes but without I dont rank in the top 100 in broad match. Which is more important. I would figure broad match since I think that is how most people search.

    Also I rank #1 in phrase and broad match for the term Newbie Affiliate Marketing

    I'd like to get my paid surveys broad match up in the top 10. What is the best way to go about that?

    No one search for a keyword with quotes so I suggest you target the other one. And as I can see, most of the keywords with quotes have a low competition, that's why it is easy to be target.

    Agreed, very few people even know you can use quotes when you search!

    Are you using "paid surveys" as your anchor text? We (as user) don't search keyphrase with qoute, so, you better target paid surveys as your keyword rather than "paid surveys".
