Exact searches

[Newjabber]

Exact searches are deffitnely not making any sence to me. After being first for a term that gets 480 exact searches a month, i have gotten 37 visits from that phrase the last 30 days.

I kinda expected to get atleast 50% and certenly not less than 10%

Thoughts!

Click through for position 1 is about 25%. Depending on other factors such as your title tag, number of adwords etc, this can be lower.

And, of course, the exact search volumes given by Google are only a guide.

I think CTR depends on the term and on the meta description, but for #1 you should get about 40 to 60%.
So either the #of searches is wrong (is there a seasonality in it?) or your result in the SERPs does not encourage a searcher to click on it.
You mitght want to subscribe to Google Webmaster Tools where you get more data (which, btw, might differ again from the other figures).

Well its no secret that its my site "internetgamblingsites" .org and the term is "internet gambling sites". Just seems low. I had hoped for arounf 200 a month for that term, but yeah maybe the search volume is off.

i have gotton 2# for a 40k exact term and only to get a handfull of searches a day.
Yet i am 2# for a 1k exact term and get over 10 a day, it just doesnt add up to me.

Im pretty sure these terms are pumped up by G, for people to dop there bolloxs on PPC
I saw a article only the other day about the price of PPC has been increased about 16%

I think a more accurate number is the traffic estimator in google keyword tool. Use that number and then divide by 2 and thats probably close to the actual number.
