indexing is one way they do it, some sites may have 30k pages, yet google might think the site does not deserve enough status or trust, therefore only 2k out of that 30k might get indexed, and an even smaller amount of those pages may get shown in serp results

there is just too much consistency in traffic being sent by google, at least for sites that might not be in the "trusted by google" upper echelon.... I don't think google likes to increase traffic sent by too high of a percentage, especially if there is a high bounce rate, ie. if you set up 100 new blogs and don't spend any time on backlinks or anything, even though they may have differing keywords, it seems that google is content to send 25 hits a day to them, not much more or much less... that seems to be too much of a coincidence, if it was based on pure luck of the serps and keywords, there should be a wide variability in traffic across the network
