Hey warriors i have a quick question, i posted a thread earlier stating that i am on position 9 on Google for a keyword that gets 368,000 exact monthly searches and i only got about 40 hits all day.

      No really isn't a way to tell unless you have access to the persons tracking tools. All other ways would be just guessing. There are some good tools out there but they are not free. Check out Trellian Competitive Intelligence - Business Intelligence Tool

      The basic break down of % of visitors per spot is

      Number 1 receives 42.1%
      Number 2 receives 11.9%
      Number 3 receives 8.5%
      Number 4 receives 6.1%
      Number 5 receives 4.9%
      Number 6 receives 4.1%
      Number 7 receives 3.4%
      Number 8 receives 3.0%
      Number 9 receives 2.8%
      Number 10 receives 3.0%

      Taking the exact # divided by 30 days and taking 42.1% of that daily number equals to 5417 visits a day go to the #1 spot. Of course this is very basic math though and it doesn't take into account how many people go back and click on multiple results..

      I find it strange that your only getting 40 visits a day..

        Hi Irnes,

        Your data is wrong!

        This looks like the summary chart from the leaked AOL data. The only problem is this chart breaks down the percentage of clicks, not the CTR. In other words, it shows the percentage of the total clicks by position, not the percentage of clicks from total searches.

        Most keyword tools show your search data, not clicks, which is a smaller subset of searches. According to the same data that you seem to be citing, approximately half of all searches on average do not result in a click. So if you cut your percentages in half it would be more accurate.

        Furthermore, some keywords tend to have very high CTRs while others have extremely low CTRs, so at best these numbers are a very rough estimate for an individual keyword term. They do not become reliable except as an average for a large number of different keywords.
