This is going to be my last post on this thread for obvious reasons. Once again you are using the word "should". Now, I saw a listing which said something like "special($$$$$$)" on your page. That's definitely more attractive (by far) than your on point listing. I'll bet that you haven't spent a few hours trying to really put yourself in your customers shoes. Why do you think an average person is looking for a slimming pill? You don't think a competing product could use this phrase and "steal" the customer for themselves. The person who wins the customer is the person who the customer feels the most compelled to do business with. You can use yourself as an example. You are so reluctant to spend time to improve your money page title when it's not working. Those of us who make a living online would work on improving it even if it was converting 90%! But you believe that there is something else other than your oversight. (Like Google placing a sign over your listing saying "Hey you, whatever you do, don't click on this link!" ) It's the same thing that is happening with the person buying your pill. Most likely she must change her diet and exercise more. Probably having a more active lifestyle wouldn't hurt. But no... why not just pretend there must be something else, "not my bad habits". You see, just like you she won't find a problem within something she is doing. You want someone to say "Fking, click on this link and type this, and the money will start rolling in!". Guide your customer to the quickest, simplest solution they can have AND understand. If Lucid Web Marketing had the same problem, all I would have to say would be "Have you tried testing a different page title and description?" and he would get it immediately. He would probably say "Yeah, I think I'm just tired, I will get some sleep and get it done tomorrow". Then he would do it and patiently wait for the the page to be re-indexed (hopefully still at a good position) . What I'm trying to say is you have to spend time to gauge where your customer is at. Don't assume. See where they are and guide them. If you don't somebody else will. (Like someone on this forum who will see how easy it is get to listed for this keyword on a page where nobody seems to know what they are doing) If it's obviously not working you have to change something. If it's working see if you can improve it. Just by the way, some people who will type your keyword in are just researchers etc. Not all of them are potential customers.
Well said. I can't think of anything useful to add except "I'm tired, I'll get some sleep and get it done tomorrow". Let's stop adding to this thread as it has nothing to do with the original question.
With inflation shoots up the asking price, its a relief to see the value of a certain niche increasing. An Advertising bubble it may not be as prices on almost everything are shooting up like crazy.
well, ianthekisser here is the real reason http://www.davidnaylor.co.uk/why-th...ol-shouldnt-be-used-for-seo-a-case-study.html as i supposed just the description can't be the reason for literally 0% CTR for the #1 spot on google, even if it's the worst in the world. Not to mention when its alright or even good as it became after some of the constructive advices here. The real reason was something quite hard to believe but what i suspected from the beginning. Highly inaccurate google data, as descirbed in the article above. Also read their follow-up post in the beginning of the article, or search on any IM forum. This seems to be all over the forums now. The google keyword data appears to have been 10 times more optimistic for some of the keywords. But your ego "Those of us who make a living online" couldn't let you see further than your nose. Well I'm making living online for the last 10 years and knew there is something else...anyway just don't let your ego make you mislead someone else.
Well, a few years ago, there was this big rush by many to create Adsense sites around the word mesothelioma. It's a rare type of lung cancer caused by asbestos. They were saying back then (about 4 years ago) that the keyword tool reported $50 for the top three spots. Today, I see it at under $24. But keep in mind that is an estimate for advertisers using the search network based on a typical quality score. This can easily be beat with a great QS and the search network is not the same as the content network. It's also not how much you would get from Google. FYI, "car insurance quotes" shows a $30 estimate.
