Google Ranking - The Query

We will explain how Google finds and ranks indexed pages for a search phrase. We will use dog food as our example query.

The process begins with a query on Google's home page for the search phrase dog food.

Note below that searching for the exact phrase using quotation marks ("dog food") adds more weight to the phrase (although the phrase carries weight without quotations).

The truth is very few search engine users use quotation marks.

So, how did the petfooddirect.com entry get #1 rankings without the exact phrase dog food?

Why did they lose that ranking for the phrase search?
