First page listing for keywords but no traffic

    Can somebody tell me what's going on? I have a blog which I'm using to get traffic (and then clicks). I wrote a post using some keywords that I picked up via overture and my site is fluctuating between 1+2 on Google. Overture tells me that there are approx 5000 searches for this keyword per month (165 per day) and yet I receive none of this traffic to my blog.

    Am I doing something wrong?

    That's odd - I find I get about 17% of the traffic that Overture reports monthly for my #1 listed keywords. Do you have your hit tracking setup correctly?

    I don't trust the overture results at all. I've found for my keyword(s), Wordtracer seems to be more reliable.
