Ok I found what I thought was a good keyword to target for my UK site. Google Adwords tool shows 18100 searches a month in the UK, on "exact" match type. I optimised, built links and now I am fluctuating between position 2 and 6. How much traffic am I getting from it? 0. What have I done wrong? I know that the research tools are not 100% accurate, but I would expect some traffic at least from an estimate of 18100 a month... Feedback much appreciated! I might even disclose the keyword
I don't know that is pretty strange...I wouldn't really be able to help you unless I saw the keyword and saw the results and new what tool you were working with and all of that. Hard to say with little details.
Thats weird 0 hits ? for a keyword with suck high traffic lol.... are you blocking certain countries with your host ?
May be your keywords wrong but if you follow the proper strategy, then you can generate good traffic for your website. Do social media optimization for your website, m dame sure that you will get good traffic from that.
