Just need to see how it goes with rankings and PR.

That’s really interesting, never thought that google counts content network as well..

Btw thanks for recommending SKTool, I ignore it before, will try it now

So of course it’s way off!

Try using Google’s sktool, which is supposed to be based on searches only.
Teatree recently posted..Case Study 2

Yes these are incomes from pages that are ranking in top 1-5 google. aff program 1 – the traffic comes from long tails related to the main keywords that I try to rank for. I’m not in top 10 since the keywords are very competitive.

Aff program 2 – the site is ranked #2 (my own ezineaticle outranked it recently, my bad) the traffic is probably 20 to 30 visitors a day mostly. wordtracker shows 25. google – cannot even open this GKT

CPA site – google don’t even shows the search data for this keyword, but I prefer to rely on Bing Adcenter estimations and google insigts for search. Just compare your targeted keyword with a broad keyword in the same niche and you can see if your term is worth targeting. For my CpA offer – the keyword trend was much higher than search volume for the broad and very competitive term in the niche, so I didn’t even bother about the actual number of searches. Now I’m om position 5 or 4 and get over 100-150 visitors daily.

authority site that I wrote about – I built this site also relying on google keyword tool. the exact number of searches was 9900 so I could expect good traffic. Now I’m on position 2 and I get 10-15 visitors a day. 3-4 sales a month. So, GKT is no longer a good indicator of real traffic for me.

Better idea would be creating a test adwords campaign and see the impressions # for 24 hours time span. this is the indication of real live traffic… my adwords acc banned so I tend to use methods like I said before.

So you see Dan, what is most important for me is the ability of keyword to convert, even from tiny traffic I get. My local SEO site – position #8 for targeted keyword, but I make 1-2 sales a day from it, maybe 5 to 20 visitors a day to my site (also didn’t check GKT search volumes) but I know that this traffic are buyers, so my conversion rate is around 20% average.

Out of interest, what kind of search volume keywords were they? I have been disappointed recently with targetting keywords with around 4k exact monthly searches, getting to number 1, and only seeing about 30 visitors per day

Yes daily income is what makes difference… I now see consistent income of 30 to 100$ daily, with some spikes to 500$ but this is just lucky days )) But the more sites are at the top, the more consistent incomes I see… Top 5 or top 3 positions, this is where the traffic and sales are.

End of July totals soon, I’ll update, waiting for yours too !

What I’m now looking for is getting around 100$ a day on consistent basis.. This can be achieved with more different sites (building them now) and several nice PPV campaigns.

Btw I see your income grows as well, and your strategy seems to work well for you, so weekly clickbank incomes will soon turn into daily.. Btw I heard that money can be made with low gravity products since there’s a lot less competition than for popular ones. Are you promoting these with low gravity? Or concentrate on proven converters?
