Do you ever find strange search terms you are ranked high on google for?

For example, I was going through Cpanel today and noticed someone found my site by searching for "linux disk space console"

apparenty i am ranked #1 on google for this search term, quite strange, especialy since the word "console" is not listed on the page or in the keywords for the site at all.

it could be that your site has the most relevant backlinks with console as a keyword out of all sites that are indexed with the longer keyword.

Yes, I have found the same.

it could also be that Google do not rate pages logically; only a set pattern is followed which may or may not be appropriate for all the cases.

Sometimes if you have a blog or social media site for user-submitted articles - where readers contribute - just a synonym for a certain word in the comments section will boost your SERP visibility for that word.

The wonder of the search engine. The more common the word, The higher CPR Google has on key word the harder it is to get good listings.

I have had experience of this. Although I can understand where the peculiar search term is coming from I am unsure why it is ranked so highly. But the forum software that I use (forumserver) is a strongly linked keyword to my site and also one of the most searched terms using the search bar on the site.

I've noticed that as well with certain keywords. Usually the keyword phrase is a lot longer than the words you're trying to it extensively.

I have never had this problem yet ... in fact, I am still trying to get the keywords I want ranked up towards the top of google. I would just smile and call it good fortune.

It is not necessary that all keywords from which traffic come to our website, should be within the website content.

a website can rank for those keywords with off page SEO also.
