keyword vol. searches drive bonkers!

10 Apr 11 11:05 pm

I would personally go with Google, seeing as this is the search engine we most want to rank in

22 is a very small number of searches and I would be targeting higher volume keywords.
You can still use the keyword with a 22 count, but this would be to write an article on it to add extra content to your site.
Either Google or Traffic Travis is fine.
It just takes longer when you are manually doing it from Google Keyword tool.

Hi wollowra.
You said
"When you are dealing with small numbers like this, Google will often say NIL anyway as it is not enough for them to provide any accurate info."
But, 22 daily means 22 by 30 = 660 monthly. This is many times more than 100 monthly, and the Google is showing many such figures as low as 100 monthly and even below it. I mean Google should not ignore 660 if it is not ignoring 100 or below monthly. I think some other explanation may go well.

Har, That would be a great keyword phrase. I think the difference between the figures is perhaps TT's database isn't as current as Google's as far as traffic figures. But you're still looking at anywhere from 7 to 15 searches per day for that keyword (as of when I ran it about 40 minutes ago). But looking at the SEO Analysis, NO sites in the top 10 have any on page SEO. In fact, I only saw one page in the top 20 with any on page factors, and that was only in the title. Follow Mark's recommendations, and you'll have that easily. As for backlinks, using my brother's formula, aim for a very easily doable 35 backlinks, and you should at least be on page 1 near the top, if not in the top spot. That phrase would be VERY doable!

Traffic Travis (daily search): 22
Google Adwords (monthly search): 210

Traffic Travis is pulling its data from the old Google tool. Google has since updated their data a few months ago.

We are currently working out a reliable source for keyword search counts to use with Traffic Travis. You should rely more on the Google tool results at this time, because Google has more data.

We really apologize for the inconvenience. However you should be happy to know we are spending more time and effort into making this section better.

Like I mentioned above, this situation is temporary.


All the best!

Hi Michellerana.
Thanks for making the whole picture clear. But my math has been disturbed. When did I join affilorama, I was zero to understand the most of the terms and the the way to researches etc. But I thought a simple plan to use the readymade research given in the affilorama affilo jack package for the time being (taking it as holy and confirmed figures). But (lol)! My knowledge has been multiplied by say10 (actually it may be 1.10), but with the time or for any other reason the search volumes taken as holy figures has been divided by almost by 10. If I am not wrong it seems difficult for me to reach upto 5000 by my previous estimates with 'Akita about' formula.

Perhaps the red light of search volumes is telling me to move silently to authority site. I can not leave Akita, then what is the way to extend from here to some safe situation oriented strategies.

For 'akita puppy training' my google adword search is showing no volume. See the current copy of my search:

Please guide me so that my search may also show some vol. I am confused. I do not know which wrong step I have taken to search vol. at the adword.google.


With high regards,

Har,

There are some really great keywords in your list, but you have to be careful. As you consider which ones to use, ask yourself "What could someone typing this in be looking for?" For example, someone who types in "how to potty" might be looking for information on how to potty train their 2 year old child (human, not dog). As another example, someone searching for "Akitas" or "Akita dogs" might be looking for either pictures of the dogs or looking to buy one. Or just out to find out more information about them.

Without really looking at the competition in the SEO Analysis, "German Shepard Obedience Training" is a very tightly focused keyword. Someone searching for this term most likely has a dog that is out of control or has a new puppy that they would like to train. You are much more likely to get good results from a keyword like this.

Hope this helps! Remember, the more you can figure out exactly what a browser is going to be searching for, the easier it will be to give them what they need!

Hi, Michellerana.

Sorry, my NIL search vol. was due to wrong selection of search options. The said vol. for 'akita puppy training' is correct 210.
Perhaps it may rectify my some current distraction, the outcome of disarray from impaired search vols.

But yes, the rest of the query about site expansion necessary for the sustenance of site is still due, I believe you Michellerana or some other staff member will definitely advise.

Har.
