Rough Simple Math formula for sales/SEO...am I out of touch?
-
Please let me know if I have this all wrong ...
500 people search for "ham"
My client is #1 SERP w/clean SEO I have provided.
out of the 500, half click on the SERP the rest got to ads, or to the bathroom, etc.
250 click to website, half go through.... the rest bail (50% bounce, I know this is bad, but just for demo purposes)
Leaving 125 as potential Ham buyers.
I have a feeling this final # should be much smaller...thoughts, insights?
Thanks Mozzers!

Google Traffic Estimator and adwords data
-
Now I am curious where people are sourcing their search volume figures. Google Traffic Estimator or Wordtracker? Do we know which is more accurate? Do people average the two? Is there another source?
-
I agree 50% ctr for first position in a serp is high i have seen keywords in number 1 with 629 clicks out of over 2k search volume for the word

Thanks,
Designer illustrator turns SEO ... Yikes ... If only I am as good at SEO as I am as a Graphics Pro, Ill be OK!

BTW just peaked at your site. I love your design for Pinot for the People—so cool!
-
understood. Thanks for taking the time to weigh in on this.
I will be dominating with other words for my client as well.
The math I need to consider is total traffic X 2.3% as a rough estimate.
Thanks

I've only seen that 2006 AOL dataset, leading me to believe your expectations are ballpark. But he's right—I think a 2.3% conversion rate is standard across the web (varying dramatically), so without considering other factors I would expect 2-3 sales on those figures.

This is From 2007... from SEOMOZ

LOL Nice!
Here is what I asked Tyler...
Thanks Tyler...
"50% clickthrough is very high"
....Even if I secured the #1, page 1 organic Google SERP spot for "Ham"?(its really not ham, but something specific like Jimi Hendrix tshirt)
Or do you mean the first page or average of the 3 spots?

You're Wikipedia's SEO! Dang dude you are good at what you do!

A 50% click through rate is really high. Then a good conversion rate is 2%. So then you're dealing with 2-3 purchases. All that sounds reasonable. Bounce is just people that leave immediately, you're exit rate should also be considered.

SEO question for page keyword focus - how to make it sound natural
So i have a page that sells say hockey sticks and the website is based in Canada. My keyword focus for the page would be hockey sticks Canada. It seems to be proper to have this key phrase within the page text and also at the beginning of the first paragraph. But how do i write a first paragraph with this keyphrase and make it sound natural. My first instinct is to write the paragraph like so Hockey sticks Canada - We provide excellent quality hockey sticks nationwide which come with a 1 year warranty and have exceptional build quality and exceed performance expectations. But it just doesnt sound natural. If i put it as follows Hockey sticks in Canada are well known for their quality and craftmanship. We provide excellent quality hockey sticks nationwide which come with a 1 year warranty and have exceptional build quality and exceed performance expectations. I add "in" into the keyphrase to make it sound more natural to the reader. Would google look at this and count it as pertaining to the keyphrase hockey sticks canada? Anybody have any info into making key phrases count on the page without looking to unatural to the reader?

Keyword competitiveness/research
I'm familiar with ranking factors and can get a pretty good idea of whether going for a keyword is realistic by looking at the seomoz keyword difficulty tool. As well as the % score it has a lot of useful information. There was an seomoz article a while ago that detailed how 100 or so experts determine a keyword's competitiveness. Does anybody have the link? Or just as good, any useful guides to interpreting the data to gauge how possible it is to compete? Thanks

SEO research via Google Adwords
I've read several times of this technique for determining if a particular keyword phrase is worth the effort of optimizing for in organic search. In Adwords create an Ad Group with a single exact match keyword phrase and let it run in Adwords until you have enough clicks to measure valid results (I've often heard 200-300 clicks). If you are unable to convert the search term via paid search, the theory goes, it's probably not worth the effort to rank top 3 for that phrase and you should put your efforts elsewhere. Do any of you use this strategy? If so, have you found the results to be pretty consistently accurate? Thanks, Mark

SEO Strategy for a Small Budget
Hi Everyone, I have a considerable amount of clients that have a relatively small budget for SEO and was formulating a new strategy for them. Generally their sites are small < 10 pages, so to get them ranking I was thinking of doing the following: work with the client to choose up to 3 key phrases to target check the competition level of those phrases if they are fairly easy to rank for, pound those phrases to get them ranked. I would still include some variations of the text to get the long-tail phrases or plurals of words, but I was wondering if this would harm their overall rankings. Thanks Eric

SEO for compound word derivatives
Our company offers services for nonprofit organizations and we are finding that "non profit" and "nonprofit" are both used very frequently in search queries. I suspect Google will treat the two variations similarly but am looking for something more concrete than my anecdotal experience. How does Google treat compound words that are commonly searched for as multiple words? Any suggestions on resources or tests to find a concrete answer for "nonprofit"?

Capitals in Title tags and meta descriptions and their effect on SEO
It often the case that a page of serps will show up very similar title tags eg Cheap Widgets | Widgetsrus.com format, written partly for humans and partly for SEO.. Although against Googles best practice and indeed a violation of their adwords policy would using in CAPS in title tags reduce ranking (whilst increasing visibility and CTR)?
