Anyone Tried Google AMP?

Has anyone had experience with getting traffic from AMP pages with Google?

I got my home page indexed as an AMP page in my Google Webmaster account but it doesn't seem to get any traffic. Since AMP is new I thought I would be first to have one for my niche but seems Google isn't giving them preference in search engines yet, or something else.

Anyone have experience with getting SEO traffic from an AMP page or have any ideas related to it?

Thanks for the help!

    Google has their hands in too many pies with all this data markup going in different directions.

    I wouldn't be surprised If AMP is short lived like Freebase & poorly documented like Schema markup (total cluster).

    Not only Google even facebook and twitter has come up with AMP version. Facebook has something called as instant article, twitter and google uses AMP.

    May be it may not be as much effective right now but going forward AMP will play a major role in traffic and ranking.

    When I observe a tidal wave of fortune 500 companies doing it and I can see evidence that they are getting results, I'll look into it.

    I'm going to continue to figure out how to work more long tail keywords into my content, by extending the length of it, until then.

    The best thing going right now as far as useful source code markup is the schema box on the SERPs. It allows weaker pages to rank above the #1 organic SERP position.

    In the example below pcadvisor.co.uk is ranked #7 on organic SERPs but the schema SERP box allows them to rank above apple.com with their own product keyword (iphone).

      Is there a way to finagle that into getting a contractor website to rank at the top when a possible customer does a Google search because they need work done on their home?

      When I clicked on "About this result" and was taken to the Google page explaining it, it says:

      "How can I mark my page as a featured snippet?
      You can't. Google programmatically determines that a page contains a likely answer to the user's question, and displays the result as a featured snippet."

    STATUS UPDATE:

    I'm now getting traffic to my amp page. Nearly 50% of the new visitors I'm getting to my home page are going to my AMP version of the home page. So I would say for sure Google is giving me better ranking to wherever they show the AMP pages in listings (not sure if it is listed in normal search results or some other place). One interesting thing is 100% of the traffic going to my AMP page is from Google Chrome on an Android device.

    I've recently started with AMP and there's some traffic there for sure but one thing I noticed is that the AMP pages have the lowest bounce rate of any of my the pages on my site.
