Are you logged into Google when you're searching?
I don't see you at #3.
Ignore that, I see Tom said it's on Google.ie.
It's a nice rank, but my guess is tat the # of pages misrepresents the competitiveness of the query. If you look at #4, #5 and #9 they are all inner pages.
allintitle:sales+marketing gives 870k results
allinurl:sales+marketing 780k
allinanchor:"sales+marketing" 7.4m (you're #4)
allinanchor:"sales+marketing" -jobs 1.3m (you're #2)
What's your traffic like on that term?
@Tom - Wordtracker gives daily result figures. Was it 18 per day, or less than 1 search per day? [OT] I spoke with the wordtracker team for quite a while in London and they *may* be launching an Irish index.
I'm looking at another tool and I'm seeing an estimated 1.8k per month volume on the term. Keyword Discovery reports 64k in the last 12 months ~ 5k per month.
So assuming there are 1k per month globally and you rank #3 on .ie only I would imagine that might translate to less than 50 searches on Google.ie. Here's the geographic breakdown of the searches one tool gives me:
United States 67.82%
Canada 5.43%
Unknown 4.27%
Great Britain (UK)3.27%
India 2.48%
Spain 1.88%
Singapore 1.45%
Other 13.4%
Placed at the #3 would give you maybe #20% of the click throughs. My guess is you see very little referral volume on that keyphrase. Sorry.
But I would be very happy for you if it turns out that I'm wrong
