Will Google handle "this not that" pages differently?

[AdamThompson]

If you create pages about "try keyword1 not keyword2" will there be any barriers to getting the pages ranked for keyword2?

Example:

You have furnished rental units in a small town, and you offer nightly/weekly rentals. You want to rank for "town hotel" since you offer the same service as a hotel. Since you're not really a hotel, you create a page called "Better than a hotel: Town nightly rental units".

Anyone know if Google has an algorithm to detect this (they would have to detect the meaning of the words you were using and know that you were promoting something other than a hotel) and determine you're not really relevant to "town hotel" and not rank you well?

I think they probably do not, as I've seen things like Google Adsense Alternatives articles ranking well for the term Google Adsense, or Boycott Godaddy sites ranking well for the term godaddy. But I would like to hear any evidence or facts others know of.

You would have to do it like what you were offering was a hotel. If it's clear that it's not, google will not rank you well for "hotel".

You will have to be smart about your approach, but it is possible.

"You would have to do it like what you were offering was a hotel. If it's clear that it's not, google will not rank you well for "hotel"."

Sorry to be blunt, but do you have evidence to support this?

hotel is a generic term no one owns you can rank for this Google is not that smart. yet lol

godaddy is a branded name so most likely godaddy complains and takes legal action on anyone trying to use their name to create brand confusion. That is against Google's TOS.
