Why for some keyword/phrase my website has a higher rank …

… than some of the very well known, long established sites, and respected sites; for example for a search query: [URL=http://www.google.com/search?q=lba+80293248&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official]lba 80293248[/URL] (it’s fourth, the “[I]Tadej’s homepage …[/I]” one) my website ranks higher than [I][B]CNET Reviews[/B][/I] and [I][B]Redhat[/B][/I] sites ??!

And there are many other such cases (i.e. many other such keywords), for instance for a query for phrase [URL=http://www.google.com/search?q=multitask+subnet+mask&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official]multitask subnet mask[/URL] it ranks even higher than [I][B]Microsoft[/B][/I]‘s site.

P.S. — Oh and also see here: [URL=http://my7.statcounter.com/project/standard/keyword.php?project_id=1441475&PHPSESSID=ab11748042085806a5ba353493104c6b]Keyword Analysis[/URL] and especially here: [URL=http://my7.statcounter.com/project/standard/keyword_activity.php?project_id=1441475&PHPSESSID=ab11748042085806a5ba353493104c6b]Recent Keyword Activity[/URL] for other such specific words-combinations (these are the two statistics pages at Statcounter)

@Compguy_PeteSep 14.2006 — So what are you looking for a reason why your sites are listed higher than the others?

I could be a lot of things. My main guess would be inbound links, I have no hard facts to back this up but how may sites link to yours and then how many are going to the MS site?

I just don't see links pages listing sites like MS anylonger. However Inbound links have always been a very strong reason sites will either be ranked higher or lower.

@SEOJoeSep 16.2006 — obviously the keywords you rank high for are terms that other sites are not doing a good enough job rankings for in search. this can mean 1 or 2 things. 1 your competition isnt doing a good job there or 2 your ranking for keywords that have a low search volume.
