|  How come only part of my keyword ranks well?
For some reason only the first part of my keyword is ranking well. My keyword is 10 words long, (yes 10) and the first 8 are currently ranking my website #2 in Google How To Make A Blank Blank Blank Blank - Ranked #2 (About 783,000 results) As soon as I add the last two words on to complete the keyword, it's ranking my website on the 6th page  How To Make A Blank Blank Blank Blank For You - Ranked 6th Page. (About 278,000 results) Why would 2 words make such a difference? |

Interesting question. There are a number of variables in this scenario. Nonetheless, my best answer to your question is that Google doesn't always act as expected. If we could 100% predict what Google would do with our keywords and sites, then SEO would be a relatively easy game (not that it's necessarily hard all the time by any means). I have question for you. How many searches do the two different keywords get? |

Maybe because some other websites have more appropriate content for "BLANK BLANK FOR YOU" also, what these other guys said |

skateboard vs skateboards have a different SERP. The short answer is because it is a different keyword. As a separate keyword is goes through the same analysis as every other, it has it's separate keyword density, and it's separate anchored backlinks. so it ranks differently |

More than likely because there's more people with the exact phrase "How To Make A Blank Blank Blank Blank For You" If not, then... beats me :/ |
