Discrepancy in G search competition numbers (broad v exact match?)
- SEO |
Hey Guys,
Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this recently when searching competition numbers in Google (apologies if it's already been discussed).
The weirdness is that on certain searches, the EXACT match is showing MORE pages indexed, than the BROAD match...
ie, "some keyword here"
is showing MORE results pages than: some keyword here
And it seems to go on and off. Like searching now on a couple of long tail terms I don't seem to see it, but in the past couple weeks I've seen it multiple times.
Anyone? Is it just me? :S Is there some search policy change I missed?
Someone confirm that I'm not losing my mind
