Please use analytics to narrow down, how much traffic you get per month for that keyword alone, from just google alone. And compare that with new google keyword tool data for that keyword.

Let's see if the new data is more accurate and if infact the most #1 spots get about 40-50% CTR

    Nobody is going to release their keywords to you as that is what makes them money. On the other hand, the CTR is 100% dependant on the type of website and how unique it is. Regards Owen

    Nobody is asking for the keywords, but just the numbers...

    p.s.
    the CTR depends on the position title and snippet, what type and how unique the site is, the user sees after he HAS clicked

    I think this is a tough one as the postions change for ads above and below the spot, It really does depend on the keyword.

    First off you need to realize that just because you have a number one spot does not mean you will get 100% of that traffic. The amount you are likely to get is more like 20-40% of the traffic. There for you would have to own the entire front page to even get close to the 100% of the traffic. Even at that how much of that traffic goes to that page and clicks on the adsense ads instead.

    Now on the other hand if you want to see how accurate the traffic numbers really are. Then target a keyword or two and optimize your page so that it can get a number 1 or 2 spot for adwords ad then you should be able to compare the numbers to see how close they are. That is if you have the money to spend on adwords as a trial. You would also have to run that a few times a week for atleast a month to compare. For depending on the market it could be very touch and go or it could be a sizzler and constantly get enourmous amounts of traffic.

      You are also forgeting the amount of traffic that left. Also analytics only shows you the visitors that went to your page not the amount of visitors who seen your front page add on google. Googles keyword tool goes by how many searches are made for that term there for if you get a number one spot for a given term well you wil get that many impressions. That does not mean out of those impressions you will get that visitor to your site. Yea they are looking for something you might have to offer but what if the site below you has the same thing but they actually showed a good price in there description. Well I do not know about you but if I thought the price was reasonable I would just go buy the one that already showed me their price.

      And you need to realize that nowhere in my post i'm assuming that you will get 100%, actually i'm mentioning 40-50% at the end as, that's the number according to old popular research from AOL.
      And i was trying to see if that seems to be correct for most of the people.

      For the rest, thank you mr. Obvious

    This is using Google Webmaster Impression data set to the location of the targeted search traffic and to Web only. You can see the data is pretty accurate. I have only posted 7 keywords but you can get the picture from this...

    WMT = Google Webmaster Tools Local Impressions - Last 30 days
    GKWT = Google Keyword Tool Local Searches

    Keyword 1 - WMT = 170; GKWT = 170
    Keyword 2 - WMT = 1300; GKWT = 880
    Keyword 3 - WMT = 1300; GKWT = 720
    Keyword 4 - WMT = 1900; GKWT = 1600
    Keyword 5 - WMT = 590; GKWT = 590
    Keyword 6 - WMT = 4400; GKWT = 5400 (Note: Was not ranked for 6 of these days)
    Keyword 7 - WMT = 2900; GKWT = 3600 (Note: Was not ranked for 6 of these days)

    Google Webmaster Tools also confirms that the average CTR for a #1 site is between 40 and 50%.

    My Analytics closely matches the traffic that WMT is claiming.

      great share, thank you!
      So it's pretty accurate, the new one. Seems so and from my data as well. Finally

    My traffic is low-volume, and there aren't many keywords I consistently rank #1 for. But here's one:

    US local, Google keyword tool estimates 16 exact monthly searches

    Sep 3 to Oct 3, United States, Webmasters Tools reports 16 impressions, 12 clicks

    Sep 3 to Oct 3, google/organic, country = United States, Google Analytics shows 16 visits

    [Edit] Double-checking, I see my eyes must have slipped. Analytics shows 16 visits, not 18. Corrected.

    Also, in the results list Google shows two pages from my site, for this query. I don't know if this makes my visits exceed the reported clicks in webmasters\tools. I think visitors go back to Google and try the other link sometimes. -- P.

    My best site is #1 and #2 for its main keyword. According to Analytics, it gets approximately 22% of the old keyword tool data for the local US search results. With all the long tail keywords I rank for (1,474 different phrases), I get roughly 100% of the traffic the keyword tool suggests for my main keyword.
