Thoughts on traffic

Discussion in 'Google' started by megdilts, Jun 2, 2008.

    I have a site that's 6 months old. Just recent 2 weeks, the ranking for several 12,000,000 result keywords have been number 1 or 2 on G. However, I don't see any traffic increase, G hasn't sent much traffic to the site either.

    First I thought maybe the keywords were not that popular even though the result records were in the millions, but then I saw some result page with many ads, including 3 top sponsor ads. So I assume the keywords are quite searched words.

    Please,,, Any thoughts?

    What I don't understand is, hight ranking on the G search result with popular words doesn't bring high traffic. Have anyone seen this before? I didn't use personalized search. Any thoughts?

    Try to make your title more appealing maybe. Did you check in WordTracker what's the traffic for these keywords?

    What's the keywords? Maybe the keywords that ranks on number 1 or 2 on Google has no high traffic. Have you check the estimated traffic of the before you target the keywords?

    i wouldn't imagine that there would be a lot of searches with original or community in the keywords.
    if you go into google trends you'll see all those keywords don't have enough search volume to show results.

    The ads you may be seeing on the sidebar could very well be set to broad match and may not directly correspond to the level of traffic those keywords are getting.

    You should use Google Adwords Keyword Tool, Google Trends to see if those terms are even being searched.

    You are right, for any keyword search volume has the priority, a keyword with the million of competiton having high search volume to get rank high is very tough but for the keyword which is having billions of competiton but no search volume can easily achieved.

    Those million pages shows you really got a lot of competitive sites, good luck on ranking on more searched keywords you will target.
