A site in 1st page of Google, just 25 visit a day, WHY IS THAT?

    Hello,

    My site in the first page of Google when searcher type (Rate My Photo), I got just 25-30 visit a day, I think logically will be more than that, I feel that there is something that I don't realize in this.

    Any positive feeds toward this ??

    It really depends on the search volume for the keywords your site is ranking on..
    If you optimize for the wrong keyword, you will properly end up regretting the time and effort for doing so :)

    Some in-depth keywords research at the beginning will definitely save you a lot of time.

    hmm, what amount of people are searching for this keyword per day? perhaps just a few? also did you use a tool to check the rankings and also ( i know that you probably did not but still ) check if you have set your web as a favorite in your search so that it appears on top... also it might be because you are not using google.com or if you are not in usa or some english speaking country so the rankings appear for some other country instead

    I just got a big huge banner of "Youtube of PORN!" across my browser. Had a librarian yell bloody murder at me when they say it from 20 feet away. She's on the phone now to their IT department getting your site blocked.

    When I first looked at your site, there's nothing above the fold that shows it to be a photo site or comparison site. All I see are two big banners. There's nothing there to tell me what your site is supposed to be about. Maybe put those featured pictures above the fold, ditch the info, and put in nice and big "Rate me!" or something along those lines. Draw folks into the site and give them something to do. I'm almost tempted to tell you to remove the banners on the front because you want to draw people in, not send them away.

    The Adwords Keyword tool shows about 2400 monthly searches for the term Rate My Photo.

    2400/30 = 80 searches per day, so getting 25-30 visits per day on the first page makes sense.

    According to the adwords keyword tool, as a phrase match Rate My Photo gets 2400 searches monthly globally. The top 2 spots get around 40% of that traffic - by the time you get to spot 5, it's around 5%, by spot 8 or 9 - around 1%

    I understand that but since you promote as not have any porn pictures, you may want to watch that.

    I still think the site needs some redesigning though. Drawing people into your site so hopefully they'll use it and click on the occasional adverts should be what you;re trying to do here.

    Because only 200 people search that term each day and since you are ranked 7th, you only get about 5-10% of those clicks. Makes perfect sense.

    I would pay 100s for a site getting over 20 visitors per day. That would be a dream come true for me! Im used to getting about 3 visitors a day and my site is nearly a year and a half old and I spend over hours a day on it. Just as well I have the patience of Job.

    Don't even bother to try to figure it out.
    My site is like the 2nd best source for information on VH1 shows (behind VH1 of course), yet my PR has dropped from 5 to 2 in 6 months and I have to battle with sites writing an occasional article.

    I shouldn't complain, I still get like 4000 hits a day from Google; but dammit, I want more because I deserve more.
