Well this is my first post so warm up the azz raping machines. I'm a big boy I can take it. I have been doing AM for 3 years but consider myself a noob since I havent been able to really generate revenue.

My question is when I type in my keywords with quotes I am the #1 and #2 result on the SERP. Without quotes I'm not in the top 20. Can someone explain why that is and how I can improve the keywords without quotation marks?

Thanks for all the great info here.
 


30 seconds on Google, bro.
Phrase search ("")
By putting double quotes around a set of words, you are telling Google to consider the exact words in that exact order without any change. Google already uses the order and the fact that the words are together as a very strong signal and will stray from it only for a good reason, so quotes are usually unnecessary. By insisting on phrase search you might be missing good results accidentally. For example, a search for [ "Alexander Bell" ] (with quotes) will miss the pages that refer to Alexander G. Bell.
Search single word exactly as is ("")
Google employs synonyms automatically, so that it finds pages that mention, for example, childcare for the query [ child care ] (with a space), or California history for the query [ ca history ]. But sometimes Google helps out a little too much and gives you a synonym when you don't really want it. By putting double quotes around a single word, you are telling Google to match that word precisely as you typed it.

I imagine that your term without quotes is much more competitive than your term with quotes, hence the ranking differential.
 
have no idea what you are talking about, still welcome bro, share your experience around here as 3yrs are not a little tym at awll ;):)
 
Most of the time, people don't make "exact words" search. So you need to try and rank without the quotations. Obviously you'll rank high for the "exact phrase" because your website is one of the few sites that contain that exact phrase.

Three years without learning a simple thing like that?

Not a good sign bro, but welcome and keep reading and studying.
