It was not the SERP (search engine results page) position alone that I was referring to. It was primarily the amount of traffic that I was wondering about and if Google could selectively decide how much traffic went through, or if it could be selective, as with Adwords. Sometimes your ad shows on Adwords, sometimes it doesn't.

Also, there are ways of redirecting traffic.

That's more what I meant.

I also dropped to page 3 for that same search term after my post here today, a funny coincidence, no?
Maybe it's not good to post a link here at WebProWorld.com :) Maybe it is a bad neighborhood.
