Well I got to the first of a couple of my keywords such as makemoney free, make moneyfree, and make money free, but have not had as much traffic as I though I would have. I am even position 299 for the word money<< I was suprised when i saw that one. Anyway I was wondering if you guys have experianced this as well getting on the 1 and 2 pages of the SERPs only to get 5-10 visitors a day from google. I mean heck I get more traffic from dp v7n and all the other forums I use. Mabye my metas are bad who knows. Google is so frustrating.
maybe people don't use free and money together a lot. It would be better maybe if you could get on the first page for make money online.
With a lot of keywords, you really need to be top 3 to get any decent amount of traffic. Most people do not go through all of the 1st page results to even get to page #2. 'make money free' is a decent keyword that gets a few thousand searches each month. I couldn't say the same for 'makemoney free' or 'make moneyfree'. Nobody combines words like that. You should use some of these free keyword tools to see which keywords actually get much searches.
Yes, James said it well. You can usually work less competitive keywords to the top, or near the top, pretty quickly. But they will not generally bring much traffic. Keep at it, work hard, and the rewards will come.
use googles external keyword tool, set to your region and exact match and you will have a rough idea of traffic for those phrases. As has been said the top 3 positions dominate the market anyway so keep working
Thank you guys for all the help I think I will take your advice james and redo my site using the keywords make money free. Thanks.
Very good tools thank you, now I know exactly how many google searchsare for make money free monthly which is 50k compared with make money 2million+ and make money online 500k. I think I will keep working on getting to the top of make money free and get the 50 k because when I reasearched the other two I am going to need 30K backlinks plus.
The demand is not there that's why you didn't get a lot of traffic. Maybe there is not much search for your keywords. Rank high on your keywords doesnt mean you will guarantee with a lot of traffic. You should use google keyword tool to see what is the number of search for your top keywords.
You gotta be highly ranked in order to get those viewers. Since you are in the make money online field it's gonna be even harder because people want information as fast or as soon as possible and don't bother to go to page 219. Build backlinks or go for long tail keywords.
It is possible if your keywords is very professional in your specified industry(jargon) . I used to work for a e-commerce site which is in your situation , decent rank but not much traffic . The reason is only those who are interested will search the jargon .
Getting a better SERP your keywords does not mean you get higher traffic. You should target on keywords where people may use most. If you type your domain name it will be listed on 1 st page of Google. But that doesn't mean you get traffic for that term.
