Google First Page VS. Google Top Results

I was sifting through my stats for one of my test sites, AllWeirdNews.com and noticed that I was receiving a large majority (13.2%) of my search traffic from the key phrase “odd news” – the interesting thing about this is that I don’t rank very high on the first page for this term (usually in the 7-9 spot) but because it is such a high search volume term I still get a nice amount of traffic from it. The two terms that rank in the number 2 spot, “crazy news stories” and “crazy news” bring me in 11.6% and 10.3% respectively. This brings up an interesting question, it is obvious that I get more traffic from the lower ranked key phrase because of the much higher search volume but I am also postulating that I get a high number of visitors because my site title is quite compelling (“All Crazy Weird News – Odd Strange News Stories”). Since there is no way to really testing this out I will just assume it is a combination of both.
