I have an article on psp games targeted for the keyword psp game downloads. Its been bouncing around between page 1 and 2 on google for the past month now, it was at spot number 5 for a few weeks, i was getting about 200 - 300 views a day. Just yesterday it slipped back to spot 11. For the term "free psp game downloads" i'm still on page one, around spot 7. I've had about 23-24% CTR to my website, although in my experience in article marketing and PPC this niche converts very poorly
moe374 Wow, that's great Getting on top of Google on that keyword is not that easy.....What did you do? Did you just put an article on Ezine targeting that keyword and that's all? Or something else?
At least that is my experience. I had at times 4000+ hops and no sales. No one would believe it but itis the fact. As someone has told here their pocket is either empty or they do not want to pay for it.It is always better to tell the truth in the begining and get genuine visitors. The popularity of the article is marvellous though, which indicates that majority ofpeople who seek DL are freebies and which is why moviedownloads have more refunds and lesser conversions.Anyway there is nothing wrong in aspiring lakhs of views. even a conversion of 4000:1 (Assuming every visitor clicked the link)would have given him approximately 200 sales .I do not know the commisiion for this niche .still if it is $40 he would have made $8000/ which is not bad!!
you can either play with Google or play against it.... this guy is playing WITH Google... as we all should.. I have articles with similar views and clickthrough rate is fair, not really good, just fair.. The thing is, full submersion in Google appreciation. Pumping articles with INBOUND juice will have you closer to the mark. I think you should be aware of more ways of article boosting, just like he has there McrTech
