Newbie SEO stats question.

Discussion in 'Search Engine Optimization' started by computerblue, Oct 13, 2006.

    In your estimation, when you pros rank for a term and gradually move up from let's say #10 to #1, what is the estimated referral traffic bump in your experience from ranking #4 to #3, #3 to #2, #2 to #1.

    The question it raises is that if you get to #4 on a term, does it make sense to start on a new term, or continue building links etc to get to #1.

    Also for arguments sake, let's say that the search volume is the same for the two terms.

    Thanks in advance for any insight / suggestions.

    pr is not an indication of ranking ... for example if a website with pr 8 place your link on bottom or somewhere else , you may get pr 8 . but its quite possible that you donot get even a single visitor .

    oh, sorry if I was unclear, I was referring to moving from #10 to #1 of your SERP, not moving up for your PageRank

    it depends on keyword competition . if there is less competition few links will be enough , if its highly competitive niche , it may require millions of links .

    If you are on google first page in terms of your keywords, then thats mean you already did evereything to reach on first page. thats mean your 1st step already complete. now its time to start 2nd step, which is that? its secret :p






    Just start again from 0 loop, make more valuable backlinks, with fresh contents....

    latest AOL results say more then 90% people click #1, so it is always better to go for it rather then trying more then 1 keyword in first page.

    SEO mumbai, you know this is, more or less, bullshit.
    If you go to your local market and check closely the first apples you´re attracted by, will you buy them?
    Or would you rather go to another 4-5 shops and then choose?
