how do you know everyone else isnt using quotes

When you use quotes you are requesting the search engine to return articles with that exact phrase within the quotation. Ex: If I request "coal stove" I get returns only with the phrase coal stove in it. If I request coal stove, without quotes, I get everything with coal AND every thing with stove.

so basically if "show me the money" qouted like that shows about 4000 results, and I happen to optimize my article to be top 3... when someone searches for show me the money without qoutation marks, my article SHOULD be top 3 right??

"Hope that makes sense" was supposed to be at the end of my previous post...not in the middle. Sorry

Search results from the unquoted phrase show all web pages with those words on the page, no matter what order they are in. Hope that makes sense. Search results from a quoted phrase show ONLY the webpages optimized for that phrase. This is your real competion for the phrase. So, when the phrase is typed in by a searcher - WITHOUT the quotes - Google will display the pages that are optimized for the phrase before the ones that are not.

Quotes are only for searchers looking for a specific phrase like "King of the Hill". I think google automatically searches your webpage and indexes it as long as it is in css or html. I search that way all the time. When I get too many hits.
