too many keyword parts?

    Hi all,

    I have a question about keywords on my site.

    My main keyword phrase is bamboo fly rods and in google I appear on spot 70 right now. With about 38.000 search results

    For bamboo fly however I appear on spot 3
    and bamboo fly has over 3.300.000 search results...

    Much more search results and a spot in the serach engines I like very much
    noone ever searches for that phrase though so it has no use.

    I searched for it to find out if I was doing something wrong with my SEO

    The anchor text I'm using for sites that link to me often have the words bamboo fly rods.


    • Do these search results mean I'm using the word rods too often on my page?

    • Does google and maybe other Se's see the word rods in flyrods too? or do they see that as a whole word?

    Thanks
    Danny

    I took it a step further and made an analysis of the keywords on my page.
    Is this how you professionals do it?

    I counted the number of words or parts from words on my page.
    And checked google for how many results for each word (part).

    Then checked Google G Msn M and Yahoo Y for my ranking.

    and this is what I came up with

    -----------------------------------------------------------
    bamboo flyrods occurs 1 time(s) (pos. G14 M4 Y28 of 15.400)

    flyrods occurs 2 time(s) (pos. G62 M13 Y73 of 53.400)

    -----------------------------------------------------------


    bamboo fly rods occurs 4 time(s) (pos.G73 M3 Y16 of 398.000)

    bamboo fly occurs 6 time(s) (pos. G3 M1 Y22 of 3.330.000)

    bamboo rods occurs 0 time(s) (pos. G n/a M3 Y21 of 933.000)

    bamboo rod occurs 0 time(s) ( pos. G n/a M34 Y n/a of 1.890.000)

    -----------------------------------------------------------

    bamboo flyrod occurs 1 time(s) (pos. G44 M14 Y81 of 171.000)

    flyrod occurs 4 time(s) (pos. G n/a M36 Y n/a of 122.000)

    -----------------------------------------------------------

    bamboo occurs 8 time(s) (pos. G n/a M84 Y n/a of 43.500.000)

    flyrod occurs 4 time(s) (pos. G n/a M36 Y n/a of 122.000)

    fly rods occurs 5 time(s) (pos. G n/a M5 Y61 of 7.520.000)

    fly occurs 12 time(s) (pos. G n/a M n/a Y n/a of 397.000.000)

    rods occurs 14 time(s) (pos. G n/a M 33 Y n/a of 37.600.000)

    rod occurs 24 time(s) (pos. G n/a M n/a Y n/a of 160.000.000)

    -----------------------------------------------------------

    as you can see MSN pretty much likes me but from what I read they dont really care about a high keyword density so I'm not sure if I should look at their results.

    Google will always differentiate between flyrod and rod, they will consider it as 2 different words. So that will not be the reason
