A strange problem to my way of thinking?

[edenworkshops]

Hello

I know a little about SEO, enough to make me a danger to myself anyway

What I need to know is this;

The primary keyword phrase for my home page is "gold leaf".

When I do a search for it, it is nowhere to be seen.

Yet when I omit the space between the words gold leaf and search for "goldleaf" my home page appears on page 1.

For my own peace of mind I have to find out why this is, as I optimised my home page very carefully, and people who are using "gold leaf" as a search term are not being directed to me.

I have tried asking this question on the Warrior forum and a couple of other forums, but no one has adequately explained why this is happening.

Is their any way of finding out where a home page is on Google?

Thank you for any help.

Richard
