Using exact match mate-broad match is way to inaccurate

The time period was for January Traffic (Google Keyword Selector time period vs my own Google Analytic s Data for January)

Are you using exact match numbers for your keyword traffic estimates? Broad match would skew them a lot higher. Also, you don’t specify the time period. I assume you’re using a month’s worth of data?

I have noticed this as well-personalized search is without doubt having an impact-and will more going forward. Thanks for you input mate-I will go through and check the data from Google Webmaster Tools-I hadn’t thought of that angle.

Another factor to consider is the impact of Google’s personalisation of search. Observed SERP position does not always match data from Google’s webmaster tools, and may not reflect what a different user may experience.

It is worth running a test between your main computer, logged into your Google account, logged out, cleared cookies or a different browser and from a different IP address, with cookies cleared. The variance is especially noticeable in longtail queries.

I am a little wary of revealing the site due to fear of penelty from the great Google machine But I am ranking for generic terms (My Product) as well as all the usual sales/buying signal keywords.

Competitors are all doing things quite similarly. I have a good ‘Avge Time on site’ and a low bounce rate-so everything is going to plan that way.

My main point is why does Google estimate so high too-and how much impact does the Google SERP’s have on where users are clicking these days.

Thanks for the feedback though-might do some more analysis

You are doing all the right things when it comes to seo but you are not targeting the right keywords for your product. They obviously perceive it as something else. Take a look at the other sites listed around your results for your keywords are those the same type of sites as yours? If so look at what they are displaying in their title and description that is making the difference. Plus how long do those visitors that do come stay? why is google estimating so high? and I’d like to know what your site is:)

Comment on SEO for the Holidays: SEO you can do for the year ahead by James

Time.

If your description is there, the url is in your sitemap, you just have to wait for a reindex.

Should not take too long
