Hi all,

I'm fairly new to SEO, and I have a question.

We have a fishing tackle website, and some of our keywords are getting fairly high rankings now - position 3 or 4 (try feeder rods and fishing waders). These terms have a monthly search volume in excess of 40k.

However, we're getting very low visits reported by our analytic software, less than 27 for the last month for feeder rods, for example.

We're confident that our analytics software is tracking properly; we're appearing 'above the fold'... does anyone have any ideas why visit volume should be so low?

Many thanks for your help
Simon

Hello,

If I understand you correctly, you are saying you have good listings for popular keyphrases but your listings aren't resulting in click through where people visit your site. If so then my opinion is this is a case where an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. What I mean is it sounds like your title and subtitle (listings) may not be worded in a way that entices the visitor to click through to your web site. What set's your listing apart from any one of the other hundreds or thousands of listings? I recommend you learn to write effective ads or effective sales copy. You need to catch their attention and make them want to click. It's not just enough to have an ad well positioned in the search engine. You have to have an ENTICING ad that makes people want to get the rest of the story.

Hope this helps.

Post a link to your site, i'd like to look. Which analytics system? I've found some to be off a bit.
