    You are nowhere in the first page in our area mate. I also checked your ranking using a tool I trusted and it appears that your site is only #36. Click this.

    Additionally, after checking the activity of the keyword you gave, it appears that the traffic is really there ranging from 500-800 unique visits a day. However, the official Best Buy site is at #1 position which, IMO, will be the only link people will click as the keyword "best buy laptops" tells that the searcher knows "best buy" and extend the phrase to be more specific to what exactly he is looking for "laptops." That is, surfers who will be using the keyword are mainly looking for laptops that are offered by best buy, correct me if I am wrong.

    I already explained that Google serves my site on 1. page only to me, on my computer, cause it gets that I'm looking for it all the time :D This is where the problem was. I see, I'm on 35. position now.

    When I started the site I thought that people who search this phrase want advice which laptop has the best price and quality ratio. I didn't even know about Best Buy as my competition. This was my first site, didn't do job correctly... But, I hope i?ll have some earnings once it gets on page one :D

    the problem is , aside from not being in the top 4 that people who search your term have their mind set on going to bestbuy so even if u get clicks theyll just bounce off until they find what they wanted.

    You are not on 1st page that is why there is less traffic on it.

    The first thing you should do is clear all browser history and sign out of your Google account. Then run the search again and see where you place. :)

    the best buy stores don't exist in many countires perhaps therefore some people think best buy is just a generic term as in good value and don't realise it's a chain of us retail shops.

    If you're not on page one -and you are not even in the first 3 pages- you're as good as invisible. In another thread it was already pointed out that even somebody with a SERP 5 on page 1 would just get around 4% of the traffic. So far the SERPs as you are, expect absolutely no traffic. I also note that your PR is 0. Even though PR is not longer what it was, I would suggest that you improve your off-page SEO.

    I must admit i always go as far as page 3 when searching for stuff, there must be other pople who do the same. Typically the page one results are big corporates or some affiliate ebook crap.

    I think competitor is low, that's what traffic is low. Try to rank more competitor.
