Time to give up?

What position are you in at the moment?

It's dancing at the moment. Bottom of the page to around number 8 or 7.

Nothing screams AMATEUR more than believing in Google keyword tool search volume stats

You must double check your chosen keyword phrases with a service such as spyfu.com, as the Google tool is only good for getting ideas and checking how the claimed search volume is trending - i.e. is it seasonal, or falling off generally

Regardless of what the true search volume is, unless you get the #1 search result spot, you won't get more than a very small percentage of the traffic from Google

Well yes armature, it's my first page one. Thanks for your advice.

Try to get your site in top 3 positions then huge traffic can be expected. Target other long tails for your keyword to get extra traffic.

Thanks allenpaul, will do

 

[MatthewWoodward]

I did an exact yes. I'm not at the top of the page yet either, I done some improvements that haven't been indexed yet. maybe it will improve if I can get to the top of the page and it's only been 2 days,, so maybe it will improve. rant over, back to work

Thats your problem

If your not number 1, well just dont bother the traffic difference between #1 and #2 is insane.

Granted if you are number 2 you can some times syphon off the clicks of #1 if you have authorship/video result etc but in general, number 1 or go home

SEO is just one way to drive traffic to your site
(hint: hit social media hard)

Look At My Sig...........

95000 / 30 days = 3166 searches a day

The lower results in the top 10 SERPs might only get like 2% clickthrough, which is only 63 visitors a day.

At 100 you're getting 3.16% which sounds about right.

If you hit #1 you'll probably be around 750 a day. It all depends on what kind of ads Google is running and who else ranks above you.

Another good reason to keep going. BTW, I am trying to thank you guys, but the thank function is not showing for me. Any ideas why?

10 Thanks per day. Your daily quota might be over. Don't give up. Fight back and keep putting in efforts until your last breath.

Cheers

PHPBuilt nailed it. I can never understand how people get excited because their site is on page 3 !!.

Sounds like you have found a good keyword and you have done a good job to get to page 1 in a short time frame but the top three is where the traffic is. I had a site that was in P5 for ages bringing in pennies, the jump in traffic when it went top 3 was unbelievable. Just keep doing what you are doing.

Cheers Duffers. Can't thank you, done me quota for the day

Don't give up. 100 UV ain't bad and you can keep getting better and better. If you haven't done so, create social networking pages for your site. They help a lot.

Facebook fan pages and so right?

Just don't get to the point where your relying on that ranking to line your bank account

F@@@ing P@@@@d off!

OK, so after much studying, I find a KW that has a monthly global and local search of 95k according to adwords. Buy a domain containing that keyword then build a site around it. Do my SEO as best I can. Add plenty of good, unique content. Built some tier 2 sites around it and blasted them with wiki links and social bookmark links.

Then 2 days ago I hit page one for my KW, the first time I have ever managed to do this. of course I am really happy, seems the hard work paid off.

And then...

100 uniques a day since I hit page one.

WTF!

Time to give this up I think.

You could of course give up. Or do as i do, give up for a while then get back on it whit new energy, almost everything dosent work when you are stuck and trying to force it through, take some time, think about it, relax, do other things, then back on it again

Hey James,

really, there is no reason to have bad feelings: Seems like you did a really fantastic job here! I would bet that the vast majority of the people in this forum have never ranked like you. You took action and are on your way! Congrats!
