Hello adsense gurus Need your expert advice ... just entered into micro niche fun ... my keyword has a monthly search volume of 27 k ... with 3 4 days of SEO i am currently at 13th position (SERP2) in Google ... somehow on this position i am not getting any clicks... Now my question is ...how many clicks should be expected at this search position ... 0 clicks is not what i expected .... this 0 click puts me in doubt... whether the search volume given by the adword tool is correct or not... Also for such a search volume , how many hits one gets on an average for top 3 search positions
It is hard to give a definite answer but in my experience, ranking on the top increases your clicks exponentially. I have seen this for my blog. When I jumped from second to first in Google, the traffic literally doubled. And for some keywords where I rank around 20ish position, I am lucky to get one or two clicks. However, my niche has far fewer monthly visitors - about 10% of the amount you mentioned. I think if there are 27,000 visitors, you should get a few clicks at least at 13th position. How long are you tracking clicks at 0? And what are your Bing/Yahoo rankings?
Common belief is that only the top 3 results get clicks for niche sites, 27,000 isn't a micro-niche by the way, 5,000 is a micro niche. I'm 7th for one of my keywords with 19,000 searches/month and I only get about 200 visitors and maybe 1 or 2 clicks.
27,000 people not that much. what site about? If site about boring nerd thing like typewriter, no one click. If site about nice latina women breast you get click all day. in fact 27000 now become more. good luck bro
i read in a ebook that in the first page search result nr 1 to 5 have about 37% of the traffic and again in the middele of page is also about 15 - 19 % of the traffic
#11+ results stay on the second page where less than 5% people see. I think the #1 can receive about 24k clicks if there are 27k exact searches.
I guess, as our habit on searching. We just look at the top 3 result. So you should bring your blog to top 3 to get some visit from google.
I think this is what i was looking for ... exact match is 3 k ... now should i focus on 2 3 similar keywords to get higher traffic chunk out of that 27 k ?
agreed with backlink part ...but for broad keywords or for few targeted exact matches ? i know for sure it has nothing to do with alexa ranking ...
