Hi everybody Whould anybody explain why I am getting almost no traffic (9 visit in March) for a keyword for which my page is on top of google list. Details as under: keyword: electrical apprenticeship (daily searches 891) Google page rank: top (www.mycareer.edu.pk/electricalapprenticeship.htm) Thanks
I don't see you in the top 10. You might be top 10 for your section but over here you're not. Also before you rank for a Keyword you should do PPC to see if that keyword really gets traffic, Google keyword tool tends to be bullshit.
I don't see you in top 10 either, maybe you just get this just because you loggin to your google account??
He has the #1 spot for google.pk (Pakistan). OP: Are you sure your research is correct on the number of daily searches? Is that the number of US searches?
You can expect the number of your visitors according the keyword you used but please be aware of these things. 1. The keyword you targeted might not have a steady number. It might be a temporaily trend or seasonal keyword. The searches query for "Michael Jackson" was increased 10x compared to the normal when the movie "That is it" launched in theaters. 2. The keyword you targeted may not have a high search according the displayed number. I have experienced with one keyword. It is looks great - High searches but much less competitors. I have disocvered later the high searches number come from one person just testing for his keyword position. 3. Your site may be ranked for certain country (Applicable for Google in this case). If your target is top 10 ranking in Google.com but your site has its rank in Google.cn Top 10 instead then it would be useless. You need to do a lot more of SEO to archive the ranking in Google.com 4. Please make sure the search results are not coming from "Personalized". This could happen when you logged in one of Google services and the account has "Personalized" enabled.
I don't see how you say there are 891 daily searches on google.pk for that key prhase. On Google.com, there are 2,900 searches globally per month, which is only about 96 searches per day. Consider the percentage of this that is coming from google.pk (~.05%?), and I'd 9 visits per month sound about right. As sxperm said, you should be optimizing for google.com if you want more traffic.
