    Try using a keyword suggestion tool to get some variations of your keywords then have a look at some Keyword Efficiency Indicators (KEI's) they will compare a search term volumes to competition, it then gives you an efficiency score, the higher the score the better the keyword. Although do beware keywords with unusually high search volumes as it will give you a high KEI but the competition is will be very tough.

    do further keyword research to find out the keywords you need to be targeting, there simply isn't enough searches per month/day/etc. for that keyword. Target higher volume keywords and you'll see additional traffic

    Perhaps people that are searching for ways to make money fast online do not want to take online surveys?

    I thought that was the case.

    I think this just comes down to choosing bad keywords. Clearly you've jumped into 5th spot purely from the domain name as you haven't got any referral traffic either.

    At least you probably haven't done any SEO on this keyword. Choose another keyword and do some good research on it...

    Just checked. You have 11 backlinks!

    As I said before, I did not plan to buy this domain to get high ranking in google. I bought it for a clickbank site I never developed.

    When they come to your site they might look passed it because when they type fast online money they are specifically looking for something.

    Try other variations of keywords and also I do Ezine Articles it drives great traffic to any site as long as you are willing to put in the time.

    I agree, no searches.
    I rank #1 for "home computer games" with a return of 232,000,000.

    I see very little traffic from this. I do much better with my #3 ranking for "used computer games".
    And i see I am getting more traffic from "used pc games" located on page 3 than I do with "home computer games".
    At one time I had 1st page ranking for "home games" and that saw little traffic also. Though it was thrilling to see it there.

    I think you are having the same problem that I am having, cash 4 offers needs to be dethroned I am not sure how they did it, but they have taken way to much. Anyway one thing that could be the problem is there are many diffrent servers that host google so you may rank high in one where the keywords in your niche may not be coming up as much as you think Well then I decided to research the keywords on google in that order and for the month of march 2009 those keywords came up globally that means china japan and everywhere else that does not speack english 91 time total which means though you think you have a good position on a good keyword fast money online was only searched 91 time in 30 days by over 6 billion people it may be time you think about redoing your keywords.
