Can you help me do this math?
- SEO |
Yesterday (Sunday, June 19th) my website was ranked on Google for a keyword phrase with 1,000 local searches (720 being [exact]) for about 850,000,000 search results. Here is the following data:
- 1st page
- #8 result
- total visitors = 6 unique visitors
According to Optify (What Percentage of Clicks does the Top Position in Google Get | PrometMarketing.com), here is the latest data for percentages of clicks that top positions in Google get:
#1: 36.5%
#2: 12.5%
#3: 9.5%
#4: 7.9%
#5: 6.1%
#6: 4.1%
#7: 3.8%
#8: 3.5%
#9: 3.0%
#10: 2.2%
After doing SEO for about two weeks, I looked at my website ranking right before midnight (yesterday), and it rose in ranking. For almost whole day, it was 1st page, #3, but now, before I going to sleep, I checked it again and it rose again. My website is currently positioned at:
- 1st page
- #2 result
I want to guess how many visitors I will have tomorrow, however, I will not know this until tomorrow probably around noon (I will post the answer). In order to find this out, I used an algebraic formula that my high school math teacher taught me. Would this math be correct?
3.5 12.5
---- = ----
6 X
So, X = 21.4 or 21 visitors
My prediction is that tomorrow I will log in to my Google Analytics account, and see 21 visitors.
Before I snooze off, I want to ask you two questions and I hope you can answer them:
A) Does my math formula correlate to how many visitors I can expect to see tomorrow?
B) How many visitors (provide a whole number please) can you predict I will have tomorrow?
Have fun with this -- the 1st prize winner will win a digital cookie.
