My site is on first page of search result. But there is no traffic from msn, why?

keyword is "top 10 web hosting"
my site is No.5 of the first page.
but there is no traffic from msn, why?
is the keyword not hot?
Or something else?

 

How many people search for that?

 

According to the Wordtracker results available from the DP Keyword Suggestion Tool (on this site) the phrase "top 10 web hosting" (without the quotes) only gets approx. 13.0/day searches.

This may explain the delimma.

 

Where can I get the MSN keyword popularity

 

thanks a lot! North Carolina SEO

 

I had the same thing when I started... I picked the perfect keyword (in my dreams) and finished #1 on Yahoo and #3 on MSN - (#N/A on google) and got no visitors at all...
Well, later after learning more I discovered that my perfect keyword was searched an avarage of 2.0/day no wonder...

 

After studying a competitor site I made a few title tweaks. One of my sites should be top 5 on MSN search soon. (once it gets re-cached). I'll watch awstats and let you know what traffic does. Overture's data says its a reasonably searched term (1,195.4 /day) - but how that will hold up in MSN I dont know.

 

If you change keyword, how many days will be cost for another keyword

 

Why does it matter if your keywords aren't working for you. Use a keyword research tool and choose the best keywords to optimize for. The amount of time will depend on the difficulty of the term you are optimizing for and what your budget is.

 

guys you have to target real search terms

like terms that get > 80,000 searches a month

It next to impossible to get enough little terms in msn to get good traffic

 

Yeah you got to be careful when targetting keywords. You have to ask yourself why would someone search for top 10 web hosting". And the answer is they wouldn't.

 

Thanks for this link I have been looking for a good one of these for a while now.

 

The one that gets over 80,000 searches will be already taken up by your leading competitors. Narrow down your niche a little and you'll get more traffic.

 

Dude, the whole point of this thread is that little terms don't drive traffic in msn did you totally miss what we are talking about?

You have to target competitive terms in msn or you won't get enought traffic to make it worth it.

The whole point is to beat your competitors, no concede to them

 

Any good keyword research tools to speak of?

 

To research how many time somethings searched use
http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/suggestion/

Find one with lots of searches a day. Around 5,000 for yahoo a day.

Next search the term on google and on the top right, see how many results its found. I'd only pursue it if you see less than 200,000 results.

Thats my 2 cents, anyone can tell me if this is smart? Thanks

 

optimizing for 4 to five keywords for each page is good. Specifically ones that that can add up to more traffic as a total. Same strategy for some other pages on your site, so you can cover more key phrases. Good luck.

 

My site MeAlex.com comes up #1 and #2 on some search engines. Then again, I am most likely the only person in the world searching for term "mealex".

My point - anyone can get ranked highly for unsearched terms. Now if MeAlex.com was showing up #1 in SERPs for "alex" that would be something.

 

I have a few VERY popular keywords going and 0 impressions in MSN adcenter. Is MSN Search that bad?

 

Good advice---do you know where I can find a welfare application also?
