People who do not want to do work in order to make online, might as well just get a normal job and try their best to increase their salary. With seo especially, it can take a while to make good money online. In order to explain why it takes time and effort, I will give you a little scenario:

Total Keywords Searches:30,000
Commission per product(physical product for eg):$8 (people usually buy more than just the product you promote, but that is another story )
Dominating number 1 for all those keywords(42% of those visitors):12,600
Conversion rate at 1%:126 sales per month

TOTAL EARNINGS PER MONTH: $1,008

Now that is a lot of back linking,research and writing in order to rank for keywords that get a total of 30,000 searches.

Please feel free to share your stories and how much you earn from what kind of keyword search volume!

THANKS!

  • Yep, pretty much sums it up.

    With enough tweaking you can get above a 1% conversion rate though, but it's all just a numbers game.

  • Nice way to sum it up.
  • Your numbers are wrong, please do not mislead people with phony stats if you dont know what conversion ratio means

    if you get 12600 site visits per month, and you convert at 1 percent?

    conversion ratios are not based on visits to YOUR SITE
    they are based on people clicking on sponsor links from your site THEN what percentage of those people GOING TO THE SPONSOR SITE, then buy the product

    so in your example 12600 visitors to your site per month lets say 25% CTR(click through ratio)
    so 3150 go to the sponsor
    1 percent of those BUY the product so a 1 percent CONVERSION RATIO

    so 1%(conversion ratio) of 3150 clicking to sponsor=31.5 sales per month

    so that's 31.5 sales at 8 dollars per sale is 252 dollars (per month)

    • What the OP was getting at is that 1% of the visitors will BUY based on the traffic that website gets.

      EDIT: Which can also be considered a conversion ratio.

  • scott, you are spot on.

    30k exact matches? Seriously? That is an enormous waste of time and energy unless you've got a big budget.

    • I just saw a guy rank number 2 on 18k exact matches in 8 mos, not that many backlinks either and not that many indexed pages

  • Why do you guys think that 30,000 is too much? I mean, I do not find it uncommon to find keywords that get 4-5k exact match searches that are buyer keywords...

    YOu would only need 30000/4000=7.5(8) keywords for example. And sometimes you find keywords that do not take that long to rank for...


    It's all about keyword research. If you mess up there, then it will take a long time to rank!
