Google reveals phpMyAdmin searches

Day after finding Google webmaster tools, I came to idea to grab from there information about http://www.phpmyadmin.net site. Most clicked search results are predictable (number in brackets shows average position in results):

  1. phpmyadmin (1)
  2. phpmyadmin download (1)
  3. php myadmin (1)
  4. php my admin (1)
  5. download phpmyadmin (1)
  6. mysql (10)
  7. php admin (1)
  8. mysql admin (5)
  9. php mysql admin (2)
  10. myadmin (2)

People garble our name in various ways, but they mostly get what they want. What suprised me is average position on generic searches like php (25th position), donwload (102nd position) and especially "net download" (8th position). When I would search for net, I'd expect something else than phpMyAdmin to appear…

Anyway it looks we need to improve our rank as MySQL admin, so let's start with it :-).
