I'm all that time on position 10-14!
Currently I'm on position 10 and yesterday I was on position 13th, but today I have only 5 visits till now and I don't expect to be more then 10!
Another strange thing it's that let's say my main keyword is "ford cars".
I'm on position 10 for "ford cars" and position 73 for "cars".
Last 7 days I don't recive more then impressions for keyword "ford cars"!
Before that I recived normaly about 3500 impressions per day!
For "ford cars" I don't evan reciving any clicks anymore! :confused:
For cars I reciving, but it is on 8-9th page!?!
What is problem? I got this informations from google webmaster tools/analystic.

      It's about one-two months old.
      Niche is really targeted and I already have 5 articles that are 700 words each and I just don't have idea for other article topics.

    keep in mind that when someone clicks an image result your site shows up in the background and will count as a view on Analytics. Most likely you hve a picture ranking high for that main term

    I sometimes see more clicks at #11 than at #10. That is because at #10, while you get a lot more impressions, the CTR is going to be rather low. 2-5%. (#7 is actually the worst place to rank on the front page in many cases. Not visible for most searchers without scrolling, and people scrolling down are more likely to miss it.)

    At #11 you are showing up at #1 on the second page for most of the impressions, and can get about 20-40% CTR. Sometimes that's enough to make up for the reduced number of impressions.

      We speak here about, I just checked now, 75 impressions per day!
      How is that possible? Isn't impressions number of let's say searches that people doing and if I'm on first page I will get almost all impressions for that main keyword, right? If I'm on secound page I will get all impressions for secound page?
      btw My CTR is 4% and it was 6% few days ago.

      It is about 12k monthly so it means about 400 searches per day.
