I found a keyword [exact] that has over 4000 searchers / month in keyword tool. But when visiting this sites form the fist page and using for example Alexa this sites has poor visitor frequency.

What is right?

  • Alexa rank is really unreliable, so I'd stick with the figure from the keyword tool. If you can rank in first position you can expect around 40% of the visits from that keyword.

    • Even if you got every single one of the 4000 visitors for the month, your alexa rank would still be in the millions. You need a lot more traffic than that. FYI, alexa also only measures an extremely small sampling, so the numbers can be skewed a lot.
  • So how do I know how much traffic a site has. Even better how much traffic a site have for a specified keyword.

    • Someone else's or your site? You can't really know for sure for other sites, but for yours, you can either use Google Analytics or add a tool to your site that tracks/reports traffic.

      I would be more concerned about their rank for keywords and try to beat them. That you can check and know when you pass them.
