Yes but my question is why - whats the logic? You could be pulling in tens of thousands of hits from spam email to a rubbish web page - simply being more popular doesnt say anything about the quality of the content, relevance to the keyword or anything else. Personally, I dont get it.
From my own experience though, I have many mainstream sites which consistently (over many years) rank way higher on specific keywords than my competitors who have, in many cases, similar SEO situations and yet many times more traffic.
