Why does my Ranking show '6+7' ?

Discussion in 'Keyword Tracker' started by cattet01, Dec 20, 2004.

    ...Is it as easy as 'it's somewhere between a 6 and a 7', or does it mean something else?

    (I also have a '5+6)

    (PS I'm new to this game - and the tool - so there may be some other simple questions winging their way very soon :) )

    Try it in Goolge.

    You will find yourself at... 6 AND 7!

    This basically means you have two of your pages ranking for the same phrase so you occupy two spots.

    Yeah, it's called idented results. And, to my experience, 1&2 is the best ranking you can get in Google for a keyword. :)

    Competitor of ours has claimed 13 of the first 20 spots in a particular Yahoo search. We're #1 but only because of Overture. He has 20 odd duplicate content sites with a slightly different template and mixed the paragraphs around a bit. Caught out by G of couse (none of them ranking anywhere) but stupid Y doesn't have a clue. :(

    What determines +2 versus google leaving that page out?

    The second page needs to rank somewhere near the rank of the firs page for the same phrase. So if it's 1 and 9 algorithmetically, apparently they will put them together at 1+2.
