My site ranks globally, but no traffic. Did I do a mistake not targeting a country?
- SEO |
I could use some help on this topic.
I have a niche website earning on Adsense, where I created some content (130+ articles of 500+ words), and did a lot of Onpage SEO and Offpage SEO. Because of this, I got a lot of pretty good rankings in Google.com globally for my niche.
I am aiming global, but to my surprise the traffic is still pretty low compared to my Google rankings. About 1500 uniques visitors per month. I am also ranking good for US, but the searches in US, are low compared to globally for my niche.
By an example, the site is at page 1 (in the good end) at Google.com global and US, for the keyword "spa weekend". According to Google External Keyword Tool, this keyword receives about 27.000 exact match searches per month globally, but only about 500 searches from US. I am receiving traffic from about 500 different keywords.
According to Google Analytics, it looks like most of my visitors come from US, which is why I receive less traffic than expected.
So my question is, did I make a mistake, believe I would get the global traffic by ranking global? And should I in the future always target a country and not globally? :confused:
To be honest, I don't want to invest more time in this project, if it's not possible to improve traffic much more.
Is it at all possible to do something about it? or should I just let it go, and take the money I can get from a sale, investing them in a new project?
Any help on this topic is much appreciated.
Thanks
Jean
