I am Ranking #4 but No traffic

Discussion in 'Google' started by jalanbk, Sep 12, 2011.

  1. #1
    I am experiencing this for last few days, I am on first page of Google foe few search terms, mostly between positing 3-6 ...

    All of these Keywords have more than 300,000 Monthly Search (Global ) and more than 100,000 (US) but I am not getting any traffic... I should get at least 1000 hit daily in such situation...

    I checked the ranks with multiple ways on multiple search engine in every possible way and It is confirmed that I hold a average position of 4..

    Any Reason guys ?

    For the traffic use social networking sites like facebook, myspace, twitter and many more. You have to make a fan page and write some quality blogs and articles and put your website link in it and make many friends and then you can get the huge traffic for your site.

    I suggest you to check your keywords in google insights, that gives you better idea about the searches of that keyword in particular period. Because one of my site many keywords also ranked on 1st page, but still I also not getting traffic. Reason is for that keywords in that period there is no search volume.

    May be, your meta description is not attracting visitors. If so, then re-make description according to your product/service specific. Don't depend totally on search engine for traffic, use other ways of promotion also.

    If your Keywords rank in first pages and no traffic, For that you start SMO(Social Media Optimization) in which you can increase the traffic with the help of Facebook , Twitter e.t.c and also by the blog commenting and PPC.So you start the work on it definitely you will get the traffic soon.Best of luck

    Hi

    I will suggest you to check it out your keywords ranking for the search engine according to your targeted market. If you are targeting the US then check your ranking in US and also find out some more keywords which is getting more traffic used for your website.

    Hope this will provide you help.

    You can't use GLOBAL searches, you must use EXACT searches when looking for keywords...
    And since only 100´000 of those global searches are from the US it means that you might not rank on the first page for the other 200´000 searches
    in other Google search engines...

    You are right but if there is a search volume of 20000 searches daily, you can expect at least 200 UV per day at no 4.... I am not getting even 20...

    You need to check your facts before doing LOL

    Thanks Good tip, Insight shows a bit of less traffic than Keyword tracker but difference is not that much

    This is my Adsense site and I am ranking in almost all Google (country specific) on first page, average ranking is 4/5


    I am ranking in almost all of the Google's be it google US, India, UK or any other local , I have checked about 50 different

    Still, you need to look at EXACT searches, not global ones.

    Have you confirm weather it is personalised result or not . You should log out and then check your search . Many keywords get traffic during certain period and most of them click on 1-2 position . They go ahead if there is no settisfaction with upper serps

    You could rank NUMBER one for Pug Farts. But if no one is looking for Pug Farts, it does not really matter if you rank number one or 1000; your just not going to see any more traffic than if you did not rank at all...

    Maybe what you rank for is not popular enough of a kw to generate traffic?

    One thing to consider is do you have +1 on your website?

    If so, Google+ is influencing the search results and depending how many people you are connected to in your circle will also affect the results that are being displayed.

    A good way to test this is to actually use a different browser that is not associated to a gmail account and then do a search for those keywords on Google. If your website is no where near those positions, then you know that the +1 system of Google+ is in fact influencing your search engine ranking position that is in your circle of friends.

    If that is not the case and you are ranking for those keywords, I would definitely spend some more time looking over your meta data, if your title and description isn't interesting enough you may be losing search engine traffic.

    Also, try yourself with this tool, this is not a guaranteed measurement but it does in fact give you an idea of how you are doing:

    there those people who experience the same thing, and usually the problem is that their having issues with targeted kws..better recheck and see if its naturally searchable and ordinary searchers would think about typing it..
