I do my keyword research using the google adwords keyword tool, but I want to know how to figure out what percentage of traffic I will receive by being ranked in a certain position (rough estimate).

For instance if a certain term gets 30,000 searches per month, what percentage of that traffic will I get by being ranked #1, #2, #5, etc.

If anyone has a rough estimate for these statistics or can point me in the direction of an article or resource containing this information it would be greatly appreciated.

    According to the site below:

    #1 Ranking Position 1
    #2     3.5 times less than #1
    #3     4.9 times less than #1
    #4     6.9 times less than #1
    #5     8.5 times less than #1
    #6     10.4 times less than #1
    #7     12.3 times less than #1
    #8     14 times less than #1
    #9     14.8 times less than #1 (the worst place to rank on page 1)
    #10     14.1 times less than #1

    How much traffic will I get if I rank #1 in Google? | Just Search | Search Engine Optimisation & Internet Marketing Journal

    I've read an article a long time concerning this. That's all I hear about from SEO guys - hey - I gotta get on the first page.

    Remember - your competing against 9 other sites. It's all about site promotion, traffic and conversions - not just getting on the first page.

    Also remember to ALWAYS use Exact Match when using the Google keyword tool. You will be in for a sad surprise if you don't.
