The original thread seemed to have been about whether google was preventing traffic from getting to you because you were one of their competitors. I think that has pretty much been eliminated as a possibility.

But actually, I do believe traffic is relevent to where you are placed in the serps. Other factors may also work into your traffic equation such as what visitors see when they look at your listing:

Link: Driving Directions and Maps on Your Cell Phone

Description: Driving Directions and Maps on Your Cell Phone or Mobile Device. Free Software. Data charges 90% less on your cell bill.

You have got to ask yourself: Does your description offer your Google's users a compelling reason to visit your website?? Or have you simply offered too much information??

Personally, I think I have seen enough info in your description to know what your site has to offer to me. I have always felt that the role of the link in the serps was to bring people to my website, and the role of my website was to convert the traffic to sales. Your description is trying to close the sale, before the searcher even visits your website.

That is just my two cents.
