Hi guys, I'm new in the SEO field so I have a question for you. Can somebody tell me why this site www.mortgagerefinancing.pro which is shown on first page when searching for <home mortgage refinancing> has almost no traffic from MSN? As far as I know this keyword (home mortgage refinancing) is among the ones with high search volume...
Yeah, it does not appear to even be listed. Also, don't you think you have way too many Google AdSense ads on the site? Maybe it is just me.
Yes, I agree that I have too many adsense. I plan to remove most of them but I haven't done it yet. What do you mean that the site is not even listed? For example, this query http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=home+mortgage+refinancing&form=QBRE shows it on the first page of the results. Or do you mean something else?
That's right, sorry. I tried site:www.mortgagerefinancing.pro and it wasn't listed but site:mortgagerefinancing.pro shows all pages.
No problem. But shouldn't the site get some decent traffic from msn since it is on the first page for a keyword like home mortgage refinancing?
it should be getting AWESOME traffic, MSN shows an average of 17,000 searches a month for that keyword phrase, and I confirm it's the #2 listing. I would love to have that site on such a popular term that problem has really good click values through adsense. Impressive...
Thanks for your response, digitaldreams! The adsense click values are really not bad. And I also think that the site should get good traffic from MSN but it doesn't and that's why I've started this thread. In fact, it only has got 3 visitors for the last week and even some of them could be due to this thread. 3 visitors for a week is almost nothing for a search with a popular term like home mortgage refinancing.
I don't know but I can easily remove that. Although I don't know if this is the problem since the site anyway is on the first page of msn results...
Hm, this could be an explanation. But is it really like this, I mean why only number one on MSN works?
MSN has reputation picking up sites later then other se. From my experience it took me 9 months to cross the daily 10 visit from MSN. How about Live.com do you get traffic from there? Build some good amount of backlinks from quality related sites. That may help as it does on other search engines.
On both search.msn.com and live.com the site is on the first page when searching for "home mortgage refinancing". When I make this search it is shown every time either on the 2nd or the 3rd spot. But the traffic coming from both msn and live is less than one visitor per day.
Thats surprising, 2-3 spot should give at least 20 clicks per day. Lot of people concentrate more on Google since G sends more traffic. You may start thinking of that.
Yes, I was also surprised. I thought that home mortgage refinancing is quite often searched term. It seems that either it is not so oftenly searched or for some reason people just don't click on the link although it is listed on 2-3 place.
"home mortgage refinancing" is kind of a long tail keyword. Better option would be working on getting rank for "home refinancing" or "Mortgage refinancing". Just a thought.
For these two other keywords the placement is not so good. My current search returned the site on these places in MSN: home refinancing - 32 Mortgage refinancing - 10
Here's what you can expect from Google in the 1-3 positions... home mortgage refinancing: 8,820 - 11,027 I see your listing at number 3 at MSN/Live. Very good. Unfortunately, MSN/Live Search volume is very low. This is why most optimize for Google or Yahoo. Live sends me very little traffic to all my sites. I get more images searches from Google then total visitors from MSN/Live.
