Google Webmaster Tools is something completely different to Analytics or any "stats".
It does not count each visitor,
it show trends.
Per example, in the next image we will see something very interesting:
We start sending a high number of clicks to some website, using ONE keyword and testing the reverseproxies banconnects.
We send the same amount of clicks each day. But we found that the very first days, Google shows like if we where sending just a few clicks, and each day it show an incremental number of clicks. But we still sending each day the same number of clicks.
After running for 18 days, we can see that the
ranking improved and the number of clicks and impressions that it shows every day increase, no matter that we was sending the same number from the beggining.
See again:
We can learn a lot of thing from this.
In first place, for some reason, at the beggining, Webmaster Tools was not counting all our clicks. It just starts showing it when it detects that it was a trend.
We also learn, as we do everytime that we repeat this experiment, that we can for sure improve the ranking position using IGR.
Doing a different test, we start running IGR for some days, then we stop it and after a few days we run it again, and watch how Google Webmaster Tools reacts:
We don't use Analytics because its not the appropiate tool for what we are doing. Webmaster Tools is not a visitor counter and its shows information very usefull about why Google is ranking our website the way is doing it. Thats why we only recommend to use Webmaster Tools.
The most important thing that we learn is that if you are not getting the results that you want or need, is because you are not sending enough amount of clicks and/or becauase it takes time to achieve results. Remember that we where sending the same amount of clicks, and for some reason, Google Webmaster Tools, does not show it at the beggining.
This test was done using ONE keyword (not very competitive), ONE website and 5 backconnects from reverseproxies, running IGR 24/7 during the 18 days.
We saw many customers that uses many keywords, and that will not work the same. We also see that some customers, runs several projects, each one with more than one keyword... they are splitting their clicks between several websites and between several keywords and that will cause that the impact will dilute.
We always recommend to send all your clicks to ONE keyword and ONE website, unless you are getting really thousands of daily clicks.
But if you are getting 500 to 1k daily clicks, send them to ONE website and ONE keyword or your results will not be as high as you want.
If you want thousand of daily clicks, purchase several baclconnet proxies, per example from reverseproxies. Lets say: 20 backconnects and run IGR in a VPS that does not run anaything else and run it with a delay of 20 seconds.
Because another problem that we saw many times, is that people runs IGR in a VPS that are full of other tools installed (sometimes they even runs many tools at the same time !!), and they ask us why they are not getting great results!!
