why low traffic if site is on top rank

My site is getting number 1 rank in google.com with some keywords that have search volume(I checked in Google' keyword research tool) but the visits from the same keyword is just 2 or 4. What could be the possible reason for the same and how could i increase traffic from the same keywords?

Many thanks in advance.

 

It may be because of the demand for that phrase is not very high. Do some keyword research. Generally, when you rise up in the rankings, you will see your traffic grow too.

One thing to keep in mind though is that the benefit will be in proportion to the popularity of the term--if there are not that many people searching for the term, then being ranked #1 can only get you as much traffic as there are searchers for that term. The traffic you receive is dependent on how "in demand" that term is--how many people are searching for it.

 

Number 1 spot? I don't think so.. if you are on number 1 spot then you should be getting lots of traffic.. I bet you we're logged in to your gmail account that's why your keyword is on page 1 on Google.

 

if you are on 1 rank you should be getting a lot of traffic to website, or The Keyword phrases you ranking might have less search volume,do a thing clear the web browser cache and check them

 

You might want to check to see if you're number one from another computer or your phone. It might just be your custom search you're number one on.

 

thanks for sharing Nice Information.

 

I have checked the search volume(exact match) - 480(local), the page is also working fine, Still have online 2 or 4 searches monthly with that keywords. the keyword rank in last four months was:

Sep - 7
Oct - 6
Nov - 2
Dec - 1

what else can i look for to know the actual cause?

 

if a higher position, but it hits the poor most likely due to your description is less attractive user

 

I suggest you check the keyword you're ranking for. I'm guessing that keyword has a very low global monthly search value. You might want to check your keywords again. You might also want to take a look at the description for the pages that are ranking for your keywords. Are they interesting and informative? Does it compel users to click on your instead of your competitor's?

Hope that helps. Have a good day!

 

Maybe your niche is not that searched.....and even if you are first in Google you will not get many visitors.

 

you have to do again keyword research for website and find high volume website, this may be also done due to your service type also.

 

i think your keyword is on the top rank but u r not working on that particular keyword.Like Article submission.if u want to more traffic then u will be work More and more Article Submission.

 

In general scenario 70 % clicks you get in the first keyword position in the google.After remaining percentage distribute to second and third ranked in google.So i think it is not possible you get only 3 or 4 visit only for the 1st ranked keyword in google.

 

Depends on what keyword you are looking forward to rise up in google. I am working for about one year, and still I had never been on first place in google.

 

I think that the keywords chosen by you has low searches that's why your site getting low traffic.

 

i think you should do some research on your keyword, because id your ranking in no 1 position means there is no popularity of the keyword,

 

So simple, there are may be low search volume you are on top with the keywords.

 

Check Prorper Your Site Google anylatics Code

 

Choosing keywords with low volume or global search will definitely result to the problem pointed out. However, if your chosen keyword has a good number of global searches then try checking if you are still on the first spot. Being on the first spot doesn't mean you will be staying there forever.

 

Are you logged in while checking the ranking? if you are try logging out or use a different browser where you are not logged in. Are you still number 1?
