Ranking #2 in Google, but still low traffic

ICCGAMES · 09-01-2011, 06:55 AM

Site: iccgames{DOT}com
PR: 4

I am ranked #2 in Google for the keyword "very best games" and it also appears in top 10 for couple of keywords.

I started the site nearly 3 months ago and still getting only average about 25 - 30 visits per day.

Very Best Games - 2# - 18,100 Global Monthly Searches

I would be much appreciated if anyone could help me slove this.

very best games - 18000 searches , in board match.

and you are aiming for exact , (for now) , so this is way you getting low traffic.

The 18,100 searches is a BROAD match for this keyword. When using Google's Keyword Tool you need to be looking at the exact searches, which happens to be 720 searches a month for this keyword phrase.

Although there is no specific formula, ranking number 2 or 3 would typically provide approximately 25% of this number, i.e. 180 searches a month. Therefore, you are actually ahead of the game according to your current results.

The 18,100 broad search simply means that any search containing the words "very", "best", and "games" may come in any order, and also with any additional words/phrases, e.g. The very best Xbox 360 games, etc.

[very best games] get 720 exact match searched according to the free Google keyword tool, so that is probably why your traffic is still low.

It's vital to look at exact match and not broad match when doing keyword research; this give you a more realistic view of the actual number of searches on an exact keyword phrase.

Aviator Joe · 09-01-2011, 07:23 AM

as others have pointed out- always aim for exact matches when doing research

canhdongz · 09-01-2011, 07:23 AM

it's have only 720 exact searches /month. so the rank #2, you can get 30% click

You can use market samurai to see how much potential clicks per day your specific keywords have at a specific rank.

If you're number 1 in a topic that barely gets searched, you're barely gonna get hits. I'd rather be on page 2 in a 2,000 search per day topic than page 1 in a 200 search per day topic.

mayan21 · 09-01-2011, 09:15 AM

try best games. 60500 exact searches

ICCGAMES · 09-01-2011, 09:29 AM

Ohh, thank you guys. You all save my time.

Just one more question?

thanks for the idea. But it would be not easy.

poojadreams · 09-01-2011, 09:48 AM

What happened actually very low searches for that keyword so you are not getting good visitors. Concentrate on another keyword. It may make wonders for you. "best games" keyword is far better than very best games. So try optimizing to that particular keyword. Please it is just my view. Take all the considerations and take decisions.

On the left hand side of the page, after doing your search, click the checkbox next to "Exact".

Be patient! There is no way that those are accurate stats! Watch for another few days.

Google Keyword Tool needs updating.

BloggingPro · 09-01-2011, 10:29 AM

With just 720 EXACT global searches and just 36 EXACT local searches, that explains why your traffic is low for the keyword. And if your ranking number TWO for the keyword and still getting 25-30 visits per day than your in line with the Keyword tool estimates.

Shoot for more EXACT searches per month if you want one keyword to drive big traffic. Those that stick to low-hanging fruit need to have five or six different keywords that are related and that they can rank for.

ibnujusup · 09-01-2011, 10:53 AM

couldn't agree more with all the tips...

i have made that mistake too... only exact match kw that's matter, anything else is just for reference.. :-)

JamesGw · 09-01-2011, 10:55 AM

You're actually not doing bad considering the exact searches. Probably getting a good amount of longtail.
