Unknowingly and accidentally, one of the pages of my blog (signature) shoots to the top of the google search engine. It is listed first among other 2.1 million search results, http://www.google.com.ph/search?q=f...s=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a. But the keyword it was listed in is freelancer frebbies. My question is, is it a good keyword? The blog (my first) is still about 2 months old.
According to Google adwords tool neither 'freelancer freebies' or frebbies gets any monthly searches at all.
First of all, is that a phrase that you think will benefit you? Indexing well for "free cookies" doesn't help much if you don't sell cookies in the first place. And secondly, how many people search using that phrase?
Checking Google analytics, I have 9 visits from October 10 to 15 with 14.33 Pages/Visit, 00:16:16 Avg. Time on Site, and 44.44% Bounce Rate. The good thing about this is that my search engine traffic is slowly climbing. I didn't optimize me blog for this keyword because as a newbie I don't know how to. And it is not one of the keywords I use on the blog either. That's why I was surprised when I discovered that one of the pages on my blog is at the top of the search results.
If you are interested in monitoring your search traffic, average ranking, total impression and clicks. You can use Google Webmaster Tool. There's a function called "search queries", it shows you all the keywords that drive traffic to your site. Basically it combines information you can get from Google Analytics and Adwords Keyword TOol.
I guess the question is what is a frebbie? Or is that the misspelled version of freebie? And is it benefiting your site to be found by that phrase?
I think you're right. It should be freebies, my bad. Yes, it is benefiting my site in terms of search engine traffic. It is slowly climbing everyday. And the visits my blog got from that keyword are good ones with a 44 percent bounce rate.
I think I get what you mean. I think I will start posting some reviews for affiliate products on my blog.
We see the same thing often with misspelled search terms; they can end up being some of the best performers. Though why?
Freebies? Nope I think it's not a good keyword if you want to make some money. But you could definitely use that to maybe give some stuff away and build your own list and then sell to it. That may work.
its keywords from google adwords tool you can check on that but no keywords listed on freelancer or freebies there....check it out
looking at the stats in google keyword tool, i would say it's a pretty poor keyword - hardly anybody is searching for it!!!
