Hey funny story

I checked my Search Queries in Google Webmaster tools and seem to be gaining a good enough ranking from a keyword I don't even have. The best ranking I have got so far actually. Average between 6-10

I have a post "What are phablets" http://bestbargainsmartphones.com/what-are-phablets#more-363

But I have gained a ranking with the keyword "Phaplet", which is a spelling error and I completely searched my post and can't find it anywhere.

When people search this word they see my site in google and see "what is a phaplet" a phrase I also do not have

I'm not complaining and I wouldn't dare change it as it's doing me good, but how is this possible

There are lots and lots of instances of typos, just have a look around here. Many people can't spell a word and they guess in Google, or they hit the wrong key. This business has been going for many years http://www.fatfingers.co.uk/
a few years ago it was fairly common for Internet marketers, to use spelling errors in their blog posts.

Wow, that website is really clever. People will be able to find good deals on Ebay, and the website rakes in all the affiliate commissions. Wish I would have thought of that.

LOL. Well, everything happens for a reason.................

That is great, you never know what will take you to the top. Good luck.

it is one of your tags. Goes to show you tags do help ranking :) Scroll to the bottom of the page where the tags are, you have a tag that says " What is a Phaplet" Click on that tag and it takes you to another repeat of the phrase. :)

You know what they say ... sometimes luck is just as good or better than skill! lol

How about a skilled luck (that is what SEO is all about) and that's when it becomes a lucky skill! :))

That's the way Google works :) You'll never understand their ranking mechanism.

Now that made me smile! "phaplet". How is that possible? Why not ask Master Google! LOL

Language never ceases to surprise!

Master Google must be on Yoda language "Phaplet I see", lol

Well, we shall try to call it Googlish! However, there is one truth which many fail to see! in the world of google, at times, melody becomes a malady! the pain begins when malady becomes the meloidy! :p
