Hey, it is 39th day of CTR. I want to show the improvements in tabulated form, so you get a clearer idea whats going on with the site. Here are the keywords which I checked through SERP checking services, and their rankings. Some keywords rank in all countries, some keywords rank in several countries, but I am sure it will show up in all soon as well.
+ some keywords where Semrush doesnt show keyword volume, but GSC shows impressions.
Need I continue the xperiment (currently sending 10 clicks/day)? , please comment.
| Keyword | Domain Page | Keyword Volume | Position Fluctuation |
| Keyword 1 | Homepage | 600 (Global) | From nowhere to 42 (currently) |
| Keyword 2 | Homepage | 300 (Global) | From 30+ to 12 (currently) |
| Keyword 3 | Homepage | N/A - BRAND consisting of keywords | From 11 to 4 |
| Keyword 4 | Inner Page | 360 (Global) | From Nowhere to 73 |
| Keyword 5 | Inner Page | 900 (Global) | From nowehere to 75 |
| Keyword 6 | Homepage | 5400 (Global) | From Nowhere to 80, and to 63 currently, (shown in some countries) |
| Keyword 7 | Homepage | 1300 (Global) | From nowhere to 69 (shown in some countries) |

I rotate them, same person may do the same task after 4-5 days if you send 20 clicks/day for example. Most IP's would be changed during that time. Also if they would enter with a different keyword than before then it doesn't even matter (they could potentially enter after 24 hrs), Google considers its a unique visit, cause its from different keyword.
There is also a returning visitor benefit here, as Google gives additional bonus for the return visits , so this thing is actually an advantage here.
Microworkers com doesn't have this functionality (user can't complete same task after some time again) and it sucks to be honest. This decreases the available pool of workers by a big margin also deprives you of a benefit of returning visitors.
Also I ve seen somewhere that google flags the visits from microworker com , as too many people use that platform for CTR purposes and it's already patched. I used it , and you may get an initial boost but then results would quickly fade away. So I cannot disclose my website here to avoid it getting patched like microworker com.

For this site the results are in top 10. I am targeting only brand queries and it gives a good boost to overall seo health , but you are right on that stuff. certainly need to use brand + keyword instead , 8f the page is on 3rd page of results

45th day of CTR
Impression graph of one of the main keywords which has seen an improvement.
As you see keyword was not showing even every day prior to ctr manipulation. But impressions increased dramatically after we performed ctr for some time.
I assume this graph alone demonstrates how simply targeted organic traffic even for brand queries may affect the algorithms of Google ranking.
So I think I end this case study as I see it ended successful, should I end it here ? Or should I continue?
I want to build backlinks now to see how the site would rank after creating links.
223 clicks total were sent during 45 days.

Herr I used 3 variations of the brand. Version with .com , plain brand (without com) and the one without - sign (I have 2 - signs in domain separating 3 words)

I will be attentive to the updates
Are you adding more content as your keywords increase or has all content been the same since the start?

I think I will continue doing this experiment for at least 1 month. Despite already seeing the result, I want it to be fully examined. The traffic factor for seo , once and for all examined on this forum. 3 month I think would be perfect

my data on CTR
if you are on first page competing for a 400 a month keyword, it only takes 3 to6 unique CTRs to get upto 1 within..5 days.
It will stay up there for 2 weeks the drop u back down

Great study! Have a couple of questions, though:
1. Are these microworkers logged in Google when they perform the search and clicks?
2. When you say "I used only branded and URL keywords to homepage", what do you mean by "URL keywords to homepage"?
Thanks
I can speak to what I've seen.
If you have the same worker search the same keyword. Overtime that site will be pushed to the top for that individual.
As for a low volume keyword with competition. I'm sending one daily. Some are logged in and some are logged out. I'm bouncing around at rank 12-6.
