Hey guys, I was on my Google Webmaster Central thingy and when I clicked on my website (GeekHang) I saw something weird. Below: I'm not exactly an SEO guru or anything so I'd like to know how I got over 500 impressions for the keywords 'Super Mario' but when I did a search on Google.com and Google.co.uk I was no where to be found. This might sounds stupid but I was hoping you could help I'd also know what they mean by Impressions and Clicks. Thanks
I've seen this on a few of my sites as well, usually keyword phrases that have no relevance for my site. I'm guessing it is some robot that is looking for something specific and is just banging every site it can find. When I've seen this in the past it disappears as fast as it appears.
Hmmm... I've been doing some research and some people are saying that my site is fairly new and Google Webmaster Tools needs some time to properly adjust. IDK but I sure hope it stays . I wouldn't mind ranking high for the key phrase 'Super Mario' haha.
There have been cases when for some weird phrases not at all relevant to our website, it still shows in the webmaster keyword list. It used to happen a lot initially when my site was new and the campaign was just started. But after a few days, I have not noticed those keywords in the list.
impression means that how much time is searching this keywords and click means that click by open reticular website.
Well, Impressions and Clicks are normally used in Adwords and other PPC advertising not with Webmaster Tools. What I can make out from this in terms of organic traffic is this- Impressions: number of times your site appeared or has potential to appear in search results for that specific phrase. Clicks: Google's estimation of the number of actual clicks that particular phrase initiated. Hope that helps.
whats interesting is that google is showing your site relevant for these keywords for that time...interesting hmmm
