    Could some explain to me why google is saying there is over 600k results for allinanchor:"my key words here" but only showing me 13 total links?


    Do not wish to reveal my micro niche keywords just trying to figure out why its coming back with so many results but only showing 13

    also when I just plain google the term only 30k sites over all, something doesnt make sense to me.

    Thanks for your time and reading

    didnt want to make a new thread, but have a new question.

    When using operators is it better to use "" or no "" I've always used "" because I figured it was better and more exact in the search result it brought back. Now I am having second thoughts... Because of the issue above.

    Not sure why I'm getting such crazy stats for a 3 word key phrase that only seems to have 30k sites when you just google the term but then shows over 600k when I use allinanchor then only 13 when I use ""

    Using "" on search queries gives you exact matches to the keyphrases inside the "". Search queries without "" can give you results similar to your query which can also include results that are not exact.

    Well Google might show all similar results to your search if you don't use "" so that may be broad - also, you didn't specified that you wanted the exact match. Specifying that you wanted the exact match will most likely give you ALL (if not then almost) results exactly the same with your query.

    Thanks for the reply on my second question and it kinda makes sense for my first question which I was thinking of anyways.

    Just wanted another person opinion on it.
