Low Searched for KW with Lots of traffic??

[Moneyland]

Hi there,

Just don't really understand something - doing some keyword research on Google's tool and there is a keyword that is only searched for 16 times a month. I have written an article for this keyword and it was the 2nd most highly viewed article I have written with over 1500 views in a short while. I have some articles with much higher searches all with alot less views??

Does anyone get this and could explain why this happens??

thanks alot!

First of all you can't take Google's search results so seriously. Look at it more as a guideline than something set in stone. Google provides estimates of the search volume and can be way off many times. Secondly if your article was submitted to a popular directory you could of received the views from there or maybe somebody put your article on their site/blog that had some decent traffic. Okay that's just some suggestions. Hope that helps.

traffic could be coming from a keyword you dont know about or even a link. How are you verifying the traffic source?

thanks, some good points already here.. ...and I was looking at the traffic source via Ezine where it just lists articles and number of views in order.

Yes, Ezine is a good example where you can achieve continuous traffic without being ranked high on Google.

thanks John, trying to figure this- is it likely to be general visitors finding ezine and then their topic of interest or would you say people using the ezine service!?

thanks.
