Google briefly censored (or had a glitch) direct links from CF a year or so ago but it was only for a few weeks.

<div>I just googled "white running backs" and CF was the 33rd result:
http://www.google.com/search?q=white+running+backs&hl=en&rlz=1T4DKUS_enUS218US218&prmd=iv&ei=9zxHTMa3J5SosQPB1rG4Ag&start=30&sa=N</div>

<div>It depends on the search phrase. "White running back" was in the news a lot recently because of Toby Gerhart so the bigger sites that ran something about it will get mentioned before CF, though I am far from an expert on how Google finds and arranges results. But 33rd out of 465,000 results isn't too shabby.</div>
I was curious to see how many times the term "white running backs"Â is searched for during a month. Googles' keyword tool let's you find the search volume for a keyword and related terms. Advertisers on Google use it to research the market for this or that keyword. First, I ran through the term "white running backs"Â in the tool using broad matching. It return results for various phrases that are related (check below). I think the results are skewed and inflated because of some crossover or something when using broad matching. So the phrases from the results were put through the tool using the exact match option. This is supposed to give the number of searches (based on what has occurred in the previous months) expected in a month's time for each phrase exactly as typed into the search box. It does give an insight of what people are looking for.

Global monthly searches total 1080 and local searches total 851. I believe local searches represent North America. Zero results represents less than 10. Being conservative, if there are 30 people a day searching on the topic of White running backs, that is a fair amount of potential traffic for Caste Football. Over time Caste Football may move up in the search results for these phrases. I read somewhere the top three listings in google get the majority of clicks, maybe it was the top five. Caste Football is in the third position for "white cornerback"Â.
When I get time I'll look at the phrase "white wide receivers"Â.
