    My site is on no. one for ceartain keywords but thet are not delivering the
    traffic .

    Wordtracker is showing search count of 244/day

    All the keywords are on page one of msn but they are not delivering traffic.

    Plz suggest what can be the reason.

    I guess MSN just sucks. I am top 10 for "online degree". Check out the huge overture that keyword has, I should be getting hundreds of visitors each day.

    I am getting one visit every 3 days if I am lucky.

    Hi

    I think we should add some text .
    I think when searches are made search engine matches keyword with the
    content on the site.If one has low content may be you get less traffic.

    Other reason can be the keyword is not on all msn and google datacentres.

    That too might be the reason.

    plz if you do some research plz let me too know about it.
    Thanks for the reply

    In a word, No. It has little to do with LSI (on MSN anyway) :)
    I recently undertook a little experiment. I setup 4 subdomains, on an established security related website. The 'website' itself is comprised of exactly one page. Each of the four subdomains also has just one page. The only content on each of these subdomain pages (call them doorway pages if you like) is a single graphic, linking to the main site. A singular keyphrase per subdom appears in the kw/desc metatags, the page title, the actual subdom name, and the image tag title element. Basically, a 2 second script overall.

    Each of these subdoms ranks in the top 5 (if not #1) for the respective terms. My point.. there is no text content at all, hence semantics are not likely to be all that significant.

    Keep in mind that MSN results are oft used by secondary search sources.. but your one BIGGEST challenge is datacentres. You may rank well for an australian audience, but fall flat for a UK audience (ie.. the figures Overture gives you may be based on UK audience). Simply, geography matters.

    Another example for you in terms of figures.. I have a site that ranks #1 on MSN for a keyphrase that saw in April (Overture) 1016958 searches. My site saw 134223 unique visitors, and served about 1.9M pages.

    So.. I saw around 11% of the figures Overture reported for that period.

    I'm not sure if that helps you, but at least it gives you an idea of how MSN traffic translates against popular metrics provided by Overture/KWT.

    Cheers,

    JL
