Maybe your keyword is not on the top searches..

**rizwan007** · 11-05-2009, 12:07 PM

So what should i do now?

**HostNine** · 11-05-2009, 04:37 PM

Do you have Google Analytics installed on the site? or anything else that tracks where traffic is coming from? This should help you see where hits come from and what keywords are being used. It also lets you look into backlinks.

**rizwan007** · 11-05-2009, 04:38 PM

Well I'm shocked!! SHOCKED! I tell you!!!

There's me thinking being No1 for any old random phrase would bring in absolute floods of visitors.

And now you have shattered my dreams!!

**orionoreo** · 11-05-2009, 08:13 PM

very low search volume

**Brandon** · 11-05-2009, 09:21 PM

at least it's a start, try for higher searched phrases now

**ishie** · 11-05-2009, 10:31 PM

"Best time management" is not a very good keyword to start with. Its search volume is not that high (3,600 searches ONLY per month), so it's not surprising if you're getting enough traffic.

**jabo** · 11-05-2009, 11:57 PM

well, according to this tool https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal it is not that good of a keyword to have in your site.. it doesn't receive that much traffic.

**Alex Carlson** · 11-06-2009, 03:42 AM

Your keyword search volume is very low, that's why it doesn't receive more traffic.And try to change your keyword.

**stevefrm** · 11-06-2009, 06:10 AM

It is very much surprising being on top or no 1 a site deserve a lot amount of traffic something wrong with you but I don't know what.

**arnabme** · 11-06-2009, 09:41 AM

The keyword "best time management" has a monthly Search Volume of approx 66 visits. What do you expect more from a keyword in terms of traffic. Look out for keywords that has a range of 2000+ to get good traffic @ being in the first page top half. Second Half yields around 40% which is again being distributed.

Your analytic is the best tool to let you know what works for you.

**Juster** · 11-06-2009, 10:45 AM

well get most greatly keywords, if that will in top, go and do marketing for your site

Well, it may be because your selected keyword has no good search volume and also in case there is less search volume and your site is on 10th position then may be you will get very low traffic.

Do keyword research again properly and select keyword with high search volume with less competition and then start promoting your site.

@chrishrist
my boss told me to get this site on first page of google and i did it but now he is asking for traffic and the remaining is completed by arnabme.

**chrishirst** · 11-07-2009, 08:08 AM

So it's not actually YOUR site then.

The answer is simple EDUCATE your "boss"

If getting on the first page was the brief for the "job", then you have accomplished your task.
Not your fault your "boss" is so ill-informed.

Getting "first page" in Google results is very very easy, just get some links (quality doesn't matter) with some random phrase as the anchor text and there you are.

Getting real visitors and useful traffic for a specific phrase takes work and REAL knowledge, not following the usual junk "advice" dished out by "experts" on forums and blogs such as "do forum postings on dofollow sites" etc etc.
