Traffic not Making Sense

    So I am ranked 1st page #4 on a keyword that gets Monthly Global 368,000 Broad Matches and 246,000 Exact Matches

    So then I am ranked on similar keyword 1st page #16, this keyword gets Monthly Global 823,000 Broad Matches, no info on Exact Matches

    The weird thing is, all my traffic is coming from the first keyword but almost no traffic from the 2nd keyword
    even though I would expect the search volume of the 2nd keyword to be even greater than the 1st keyword.

    Only 0.3% of the traffic comes from 2nd keyword. Why is that, am I missing something?

    I could be mistaken, but doesn't 'no data' on exact matches mean there aren't any searches for that exact term?

    that can be a big reason. but i think it can happen eventually. have you checked the results from other IPs rather than your IP? its important to check them form other ips too.
    thanks

    yes, I checked from another IP, it was ranked #13 page 2 , so about the same ~

    that is strange, I would think this term would outmatch my keyword #1 ... it can't be that it has no traffic , unless my
    statistic counter is wrong and did not update , i'm not sure

    Traffic makes highest sense...but for that you need to have rich content on your site.
