hey guys,

google keyword tool s telling me this keyword gets 5,000 exact monthly searches a month "online guitar tuner microphone" but my google analytics on my site is saying im getting nothing....

my site was up on the top of google for a long time but google analitics is saying m not getting any traffic....

is it becuase of the keyword, or because i may have put google analytics incorrectly onto my site??

    chances are you're not actually at the top of google - how are you checking your results? Are you checking through a proxy server like Scroogle.org or Vectroproxy.com ?

    Were you really on top?

    Maybe you were looking at personalized results.

    i deleted my cookies, and tried to search it, i also searched it on a completely different computer....

    i was on the top because i searched for a low keyword to rank for, i did on page and off page seo

    I've burned myself like that before. Google keyword seem to be quite inaccurate sometimes. I had the first spot for a keyphrase with 15000 flexi searches and 8000 exact searches, but got 7 visitors those days.

    However, maybe I was looking at personalized results, like retsek mentioned? I think I used scroogle.org to back up my belief...

    Are you using the quotation marks when you're searching. Because the 5000 searches the keyword tool is telling you about won't have quotation marks.

    That would be the first problem, believing anything from Google's keyword tool.

    Second, forget Google Analytics. Does your web host stats show any traffic?

    Not sure what "top of Google" really is. Sometimes, unless you really are in the top couple spots there isn't traffic.

      how many local searches does it get? you may be top on your local google site, however on .com/.co.uk(whatevers not your google site) you may be lower.
