repick my target keyword
My site is listed in most search engines, but I find that no people can actually locate my site thru searches. My ranking is too low....
When I started this blog, I picked the keyword term "make money online" which has 54221 monthly searches (overture stat) and 851000 google matches. The KEI was about 3X which looks quite ok to work on. So I optimize my site based on this keyword. But I was proved wrong.
On my other website www.softbath.net which does translation tool download, I was surprised to see a constant stream of visitors comes daily. (tho it is only a few, but it performs better than this blog in case of web traffic). I noticed the difference and wondering why. As I put much effort in this blog to make it content rich, but the translation tool has very few update at all and actually does better.
www.softbath.net is targeted on keyterm "free translation tool", it has only 103 monthly overture searches and 613 google matches. My site is ranked 3X in some of the search engines.
My conclusion:
For small business trying to gain free traffic, it is critical to pick some less competitive keyword terms, and make sure you are located top 50 in some search engine.
I have now repick my target keyword as "seo optimization tips". I will search for more less competitive keyword terms, hope it will add up to more traffic. Lets see if it helps.
