Good SEO "Mystery" =)

[James]

I saw this question today and liked it.

When you do a search for the following term:

http://www.google.com/search?q=seos

Why does the 3rd/4th result,

Rockwell Collins - rank here??

Took me a few minutes to get this one =)

Good one James!

I figured it out quickly because I typed "seos" into their search box.

Good test though.

One good little test out of many for hiring a SEO I guess =)

Your question is why google show the result on 3rd or 4rth number at exact keyword and why it shows the secondary result at top.

Google check the popularity of keyword and if it is common then google prefer it

second: i think google own services are visible in search results with different criteria same like sponsor results. google has lot of misspell keywords in its database and all are used for google own sites

I don't think you got the question sorry to say =)

We are asking why this specific website is ranking for this specific keyword.

When are we going to reveal the mystery, because I would actually like to discuss the matter, because it is quite interesting.

The cynic in me says that blackstone is not human and that's why he missed the point....

Chris, type in seos into the search box!

Chris, type in seos into the search box!

I had worked it out, but I wanted to discuss the issue, because I don't think it is a black and white case of why it ranks.

Most certainly. I'm surprised that others didn't pick it up, especially with all those random links in the sig.

I was leaning more towards a lowly paid link builder from a developing nation.

If blackstone's contact page is anything to go by, the safe bet would be pakistan.
