Traffic per page

please share your best results

Hi

I'm a new member here and learning fast about SEO - I have now realised why my site was only getting a measly 500 page views per day!

I have learned that the best technique is create lots of content, keyword rich pages, all targeted to different, specific phrases - so I am about to do the following ....

Research lots of targeted key phrases related to my theme - ideally looking for ones that have a large number of searches (using overture tool) and/or low number of web sites returned in results - once identified, create a page on my site targeted to this phrase.

So my question is ...

How many visits per day can one targeted page deliver - lets assume that you have optimised it to rank #1 in google

Obviously, it depends on how tightly focused the key phrase is - but I would be interested to know your experiences.

If you have identified a lucrative key phrase with lots of searches per day - and then created a page specifically to exploit it - what have been your best success stories

Thanks

10 tightly targeted visitors per day are often worth more than 1000 that don't know what they want.

What travoli said.

In the interest of sheer numbers....I have a number 6 position in google for a single keyword that gets around 50 uniques a day. I'm guessing that number one would equal around 300-400.

In regards to theme, I looked at ODP and see what highest category could be assigned to the site. From there on in, keywords can be "assigned" to each category so you know what ground you are covering.

The ones coming in typing that one word in G are less likely to stay for long......they are no doubt searching generically for a reason...they are not searching for anything in particular :)

When it comes down to it....I get more "dribbly" traffic from variants of keywords and longer phrases...which accounts for more than half of SE traffic I get (60% outside the top 20 phrases).

I agree about 10 highly focused visitors being worth more than 1000 tyre kickers - I'm not worried that I need to attract huge numbers.

The only reason I ask is that I've researched one or two lucrative key phrases - showing approx 50 000 searches per month using overture - but when you search google for that phrase, it only returns about 1-2 thousand results.

better still, some of the pages showing in the top 3 places don't even have the keywords in the title!

I think a #1 spot is pretty much guaranteed with a well optimised page

My site is informational and does not sell or advertise anything. I want targeted visitors - people who want to learn about the internet.

My index page tends to get about 10,000 page views per day. If a big newsletter picks up an article, i'll get 100,000 page views in a single day, just on the index page.

I had one page ranks in Google's top ten for a strongly seasonal, two-word search phrase. Back in March and April the article was getting as many as 2500 visitors a day; it's about 200 /day these days.

The page itself didn't earn much for me, but I got gratifying fan letters from teenage girls who found the article useful.
