Just I was searching for Paid webdirectory and found that my directory Goodprlinks.com is at #1. Oh, I am ...
Not for "paid web directory"? As "Paid webdirectory" is not a competitive phrase,I think it's easy to get on #1. Congrats anyways!
Exactly what I was going to ask CReed: how much traffic you see from this keyterm... if a lot - i will be focusing more time and energy on it
http://www.google.com/search?q=paid+directory&hl=en&start=20&sa=N i m ranked somewhere around 20s for paid directory and it gets me 10 - 20 visits sometimes more .... though phpld mods << get my site alot more visitors just putting a hopes up for some people who might want to get high in those keywords.
Congrats YIAM for #1 position BTW My Directory Tycoon is on #5 position "Premium Paid Directory" http://www.google.co.in/search?hl=en&q=PREMIUM+PAID+DIRECTORY&btnG=Google+Search&meta=
Thanks every one. I know its not a very competitive phrase and I am not expecting too much traffic from this phrase. It's just #1 feeling
If you can't see a good traffic with the keyword, you will not be so excited about the fact soon unless you think that will be next hot keyword for directory based keyword. The statistic says that most people don't click on page 3 or deeper ones, so being top 20 as your final goal probably could be a requirement for getting good traffic result, whatever the keyword you want to promote with. According to Overture US (skipped some) directory --- 3,598.4/day phone directory --- 2,150.2/day business directory --- 1,221.6/day *searched 37,156 times/mo. yahoo directory --- 888.0/day web directory --- 553.9/day *searched 16,848 times/mo. guide and directory --- 312.1/day physician directory --- 243.1/day web hosting directory --- 198.0/day hospital directory --- 177.2/day cell phone directory --- 150.0/day church directory --- 149.9/day white pages directory --- 134.8/day attorney directory --- 130.1/day shopping directory --- 127.2/day *searched 3,869 times/mo. lawyer directory --- 107.6/day zip code directory --- 103.8/day article directory --- 103.2/day *searched 3,139 times/mo. street directory --- 102.5/day directory advertising services --- 96.0/day real estate directory --- 93.7/day small business directory --- 91.9/day *searched 2,796 times/mo. artist directory --- 91.2/day car directory --- 90.4/day free phone directory --- 85.6/day affiliate program directory --- 83.4/day yellow pages directory --- 82.3/day open directory project --- 81.4/day local directory --- 72.6/day city directory --- 72.3/day link directory --- 69.3/day google directory --- 67.0/day 411 directory --- 63.3/day online directory --- 59.8/day *searched 1,818 times/mo. internet directory --- 59.2/day *searched 1,802 times/mo. web site directory --- 57.2/day *searched 1,741 times/mo. blog directory --- 51.4/day *searched 1,564 times/mo. podcast directory --- 49.7/day hotel directory --- 47.5/day *hotel directory is 97th among 100th. Searched over 1400 times/mo. To be ranked with good keywords at top 20 is pretty hard. Furthermore, probably 60% of the clicks will NOT go to the top 11 to 20. So, if you try to rank with a competitive keyword, most likely you would end up being somewhere around top 40 unless you promote your site a lot. I have this keyword people come from Google, total 98 times in March, and the keyword puts my site around 60th in Google SERPs. I have absolutely no idea how people could find mine with it even though this one is very competitive one, searched 11436 times/mo. Avoding the competition is a typical SEO approach, but if the keyword is not searched often, you can not expect traffic at all. Top 5 with dead keywords is also meaningless. Here is my old thread at SEO forum for basic keyword choosing tips. Sorry if it's too basic
Pleased you have had that feeling, congrats. Amazing how the search drops from 13Million results to only 75K if you miss out the space.
