Hi all, I need a help from all. Normally with good competition if any keyword is ranking high than it will provide traffic but one of my keyword "custom icon design" is ranking on top with high competition 20600000 but its not providing any traffic.To find out traffic i checked Google analytic as well as i have checked aw stats.Both are showing nil visitors. Is that competition is wrong for that particular keyword ? Regards Linkkingseo
Think you are thinking completely wrong about competition to be frank. Yes, there are 20600000 webpages with these words. But the competition for the word is almost zilch, go to google adword research tool and you see that there are approx 700 searches for this globaly each month (And this is an guesstimate) so nothing worth thinking about.
I think if you have high rankings on keywords and not getting visitor that means that would be possibility of low search volume of that keyword and one more thing would be also possible that description and title might not like by visitors which are displaying in serp. last but not least result would be differences in rankings on all over world. in india - if you are on 6th rank and it might possible that in usa or uk your website on 50th rank then there are also possibilities of not getting visitors. I hope this would be help you.
There could only be two things causing that. 1. It's a keyword that's almost never searched for. You can Google "baba" or "bababab" and it doesn't matter if you're the #1 result. It may take weeks or months just to get one click. 2. Your Title and Description in the SERP's is not compelling enough to generate a click for this keyword.
You must change your target keywords. First of all, make an estimation about search volumes / month. After that you can choose your right keywords and use it for good traffic to your site...
Couldnt agree more, keyword research is the most important thing. And then googles keyword research tool is a very good starting point. And also a few new things from the labs that show up in webmaster tools now.
The amount of websites that are indexed for a particular phrase, and the amount of people that search for that phrase, are two very different things. Last month on google your keyword "custom icon design" received 140 searches. Which means only 4 people searched for that keyword each day, which is very very low. You are going to want to get higher than rank 6 to see some of that traffic.
How did you get 140? If you see my previous mail I estimated 700 from googles keyword research tool. Is there any other way to get more exact numbers?
