Thing is its probably the best and most searched keyword possible. The pages are structured "manufacturer product" ie hp laserjet. In the case of the index its just HP. So I'm ranking number 1 for the best possible keyword. It will be in every search. I don't do so well for most page keywords ie HP laserjet model xxxx. I'm down around 20 for most of those but 1 to 3 for AdWords.
G shows 0 links. Y shows 196.
So, for another analogy, clairol.com ranks 1 for the term "clairol" and I rank two for the term.
So, following that analogy, that search term accounts for 38% of my traffic. About half of those visitors leave right away, the others go elsewhere on the site.
The page went from outside the top 100 to 2 overnight and my traffic and orders went way up. I was told I probably had a manual review by google on a webmaster forum at that time. Thats possible. I can see a competitor complaining to google about the site forcing a manual review which actually helped me.
