At one blog I found such method of keyword tracking (for google). The author wrote that the most reliable characteristic of keyword search value is google trends. But there we can see just relations of different keywords and their trends. To know the definite amount of keyword searches, we have to compare out keyword with the basic phrase - the phrase, whose search volume we know exactly. To find such phrase we have to find the blog or site, that is the first in the SERP of this keyword. And if it has the public stat counter - we can see how much people came to this site through typing this phrase in google (maybe it will be the approximate value of keyword popularity). If you have your site first in SERP by some keyword - you don`t even have to look for others counter, So my questions: 1. is this method correct? 2. what stat counters are public and can show information, how many people came to site from google by the definite phrase?
trial and error with Google analytic make us successful. You can find money pages(pages that get most traffic) of your site. I use Google trend to find niches only.
Thanks for answer, but I`m asking exactly about finding the niche. I just want to know more definitely what traffic will give me the keyword
Also log file analysis will give you insight into what terms people are looking for to get your website, this will also help you to optimize those keywords effectively.
