Beating Official CS Site?

A few months ago i started with SEO on my site 'Counter-Strike DL'
I was going for the term 'Counter-Strike Download' as it is a highly used phrase....
I noticed this on my referers...
http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&ie...wnload&spell=1

How is it i am beating the Official Counter-Strike Site for that term!?
Oh, and I have just moved my domain from http://cgi.expressions.plus.com to http://www.counter-strike-dl.com
I have used a
Will this redirect googlebot too?

Hopefully with the new, more descriptive domain name I will rank higher for more general counter-strike terms too![/quote]

Well your title has a hythen in it, so you beat them for that term, whereas they beat you for the "counter strike" term.

How many people are going to put the hyphen in there? I doubt very many. Although if you take it out you are #6. Not bad out of 1mill

they are right. http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&ie...download&meta=

no one is going to use the hyphen. i am sure i can find some obscure way that i am beating a lot of big sites, but it doesn't help me out much

i think you'll also have to optimize ur site to the 'counter strike' term - as everyone said, because it is more used than the one w/ the hypen
