SEO, Google Position and Real Incoming Visits?

[Joseph]

My site is on 1st page but no incoming hits.
My site http://www.submitexpress.com/keytracker.php) that there are about 57 daily hits (about 1700 monthly) but my site had only 1-2 per week from this keyword, for about 3 months. So I targeted a more powerful keyword: 'marriage counseling' that has an estimate of 322 daily hits (9660 monthly). Now my site finally ranks #7-10 on Google 1st page for this keyword during the last two weeks but receives NO HITS AT ALL from this keyword. My question is regarding expectation: how many hits I reasonably may expect to get?
Thanks for your opinion.

Dr. Abraham,

regarding the keywords, You are on first page for "online marriage counseling" not "marriage counseling". For the later, your website is ranked 89th on Google.

I would rewrite your descriptions. You should keep the main keywords you want to rank high for that page and then add more enticing words to catch the attention of the readers.

Well written descriptions can go a long way considering the titles will bring pretty similar terms (keyword phrases).

I advise you to create long tail keywords for other pages of your website to have them ranking higher on their own (Search Engines rank pages not sites)

P.S. For each page you will have to write a specific "description tag" using the main keyword phrases + the calling for action-reputation-experience-years online-solution solver, type of word.

Website data:
PR-3
Age- 02/2005
Index by Google- 46
Index by Yahoo- 42
Index by Bing - 36
Links to domain- around 1.600
( Most of them pointing to the main page. You need to create backlinks to your internal pages, so they can move faster up the rankings on their own)

P.P.S I see you don't have Google Analytics installed on your website. I recommend it. If you know where your visitors are coming from, you can then intensify the marketing in those sources.


I wish you all the best.

I agree with Gilson, but have a question.

You say no incoming hits. That does not seem possible. How are you measuring your hits, exactly? It seems that your hit counting mechanism may be broken.

You have rank for phrases with positive search volume, you wont get all that search traffic, but you will get a % of it. This means your traffic tool is not working well, install Google Analytics, it will show you what phrases people enter into Google, Yahoo, and Bing to find your site and its 100% free.
