    When you do a search on Google for "keyword" that just shows you other websites which have on-page optimization for that exact phrase.

    If your website is fairly new it can take from a few days up to a month or more to start ranking well for your keyword, depending on the competition.

    Just keep building back links consistently and adding fresh content to your website and you will soon see your effort pay off.

    Best of luck

    Edit - If you want I'm happy to do a very brief site audit for you to make sure you are not tripping yourself up anywhere - just shoot me a PM with your url and the keyword you are refering to and i'll take a peek.

    The google' algo treats the "key word" and the key word entries differently. For the key word entry, you get more high quality sites above you, than for the "key word", since not all of them have exact phrase "key word" on their pages. So, you are in top10 for "key word" due to very low competition there, according to the algo.

    PS. There is a piece of sense that the algo is not optimized for the "key word" phrases: not many people at all use "" operators (mostly webmasters and some IT-guys), so the algo is very 'plain' here.

    MagicAce, time and continious effort is the best method in SEO. Beleive me, if you will be constantly writing an original content with proper interlinking of your pages, you will get your Top within a year for your key word phrases.

    One month is not an age of a competitive website.
