          It's all about targeting the right keywords.  Sadly it is an area that lots of people get wrong and then are left wondering why they don't have traffic.

          However you are promoting a niche product, so you don't have to compete on the really big terms.  You've done well on the villa terms - maybe start down another seem next: maybe luxury accommodation.

            Thank you Mat for clarification.

            Now  I see how it goes per keywod tool of google and am not sure now what to target at all in my SEO to get the clicks .  At the end GA tells  the truth and I have not targeted good keywords even am targeting  strong keywords and for example amalfi coast villas or sardinia villas but there is not guarantee  that I will get clicks .

            Can you tell me ones more please. How can I get real organic search resuts for particular keyword just as you promote on the picture you sent me . Thanks

              See the attached image.

              Broad match searches are 4400. Phrase match are 73. Exact match are 36.

              Broad match is useful if you are doing PPC, but less so for organic search. In short they are saying that:

              36 searches a month are match for "switzerland villas"

              73 searches a month are made for phrases containing "switzerland villas"

              4400 searches a month are made for phrases that google thinks are related to "switzerland villas".  That might include "swiss hotels" for all we know.

              As I said - it is VITAL to understand what those numbers represent if you are doing your own SEO work.

                Thanks but dont get it simple as I am going on google keyword tool and it tells me  global search is 4400 and not 73. Local Gb search is 1300.  I do understand it is a phrase and it can be and switzerland villas and villas in switzerland  villas switzerland but on all am in first 5 .

                I dont get where you get this results of global search for this term 73 global monthly searches  as I per google see differente as above?

                Thanks

                  Sorry - that just isn't a great phrase. As a phrase match "Switzerland villas" only has 73 Global monthly searches. As an exact search [Switzerland villas] has just 36.  Although kwt estiates are never particularly accurate at small numbers, you are not going to get more clicks than there are searches.

                  The broad match numbers are not really relevant if you are focusing on the organic term.

                  I'd broaden the phrases you are targeting.  Chalets would seem to be a word with more potential for Switzerland.

                    does it means that is nothing if i have keyword  switzerland villas or  villas switzerland with search 4400 global and GB 1300, on the 3-7 position on .com and  Uk google  cant get not even a 100 cliecks a month for ?

                      Looking just at that first key term: (initials cdav).  keyword tool shows 210 GLOBAL searches on a broad match. <10 on local. However switch that to a phrase match and it is <10 on global.

                      That means that any traffic from that term is a good thing.  It just is not a busy phrase.

                      When doing keyword research it is absolutely vital that you understand the difference between broad, phrase and exact match.

                      I doubt that is the answer you were hoping for, but I hope it helps none the less. I would start researching additional terms.

                              There are really 3 possible causes.

                              1. You aren't ranking as well as you think you are
                                This is probably the least likely, but depending on how you are checking results you might not be ranking as well as you think.  If you are using seomoz rank checker you can ignore this one.
                              2. Your click through rate in the results isn't good
                                Best way to check this is through Google Webmaster Tools.  That will show you your CTR in the organic results.  It could be that your snippet just isn't engaging people
                              3. They keywords you are targeting aren't as busy as you thought
                                The most common reason for this that I see if that people base their traffic expections on "broad match" in the keywords tool.

                              Hopefully that will start you off in the right direction.

                                1 page crawled ... and other errors

                                1. Why is only one (1) page crawled every second time you crawl my site? 2. Why do your bot not obey the rules specified in the robots.txt? 3. Why does your site constantly loose connection to my facebook account/page? This means that when ever i want to compare performance i need to re-authorize, and therefor can not see any data until next time. Next time i also need to re-authorize ... 4. Why cant i add a competitor twitter account? What ever i type i get an "uh oh account cannot be tracked" - and if i randomly succeed, the account added never shows up with any data. It has been like this for ages. If have reported these issues over and over again. We are part of a large scandinavian company  represented by Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland. The companies are also part of a larger worldwide company spreading across England, Ireland, Continental Europe and Northern Europe. I count at least 10 accounts on Seomoz.org We, the Northern Europe (4 accounts) are now reconsidering our membership at seomoz.org.  We have recently expanded our efforts and established a SEO-community in the larger scale businees spanning all our countries. Also in this community we are now discussing the quality of your services. We'll be meeting next time at 27-28th of june in London. I hope i can bring some answers that clarify the problem we have seen here on seomoz.org. As i have written before: I love your setup and you tools - when they work. Regretebly, that is only occasionally the case!

                                Concerned About Individual Pages

                                Okay. I've setup a campaign for www.site.com and given a list of keywords. So after the initial crawl we'll have some results. What I'm looking for tho is how do individual pages on my site rank for the list of keywords given. And then be able to go to a screen in seomoz with data for that particular page with recommendations and stuff like that. Is this what's going to happen or do I need to create a campaign for each url i want to track? If all will work as I'd like in the example above, should I then add the second list of keywords that some other pages should rank for? Will it get to be a big mess or can I relate the keywords to pages in some way? It seems like what I'm looking for is what this program should be... Thanks!

                                No longer in top 100 for branded keyword - How!?

                                Got a weird one here... Won't give away actual URL but for this example let's say client's site is: www.purplebananas.com Many of the longtail keyword-targeted subpages/posts are still ranking pretty well.  We recently went through and optimized the site based on poor scores we found from crawl reports from SEO Moz, which included renaming some sub-pages, eliminating duplicate content pages, archives, etc (it's a wordpress site, about 4 years old). This site used to rank at the top or near it for the search "purple bananas". However, after we optimized the site it's almost completely fallen off the radar of Google, turns up way over 100 for the search "purple bananas". Strangely, if we search "purplebananas" we're at the top still. Any idea what's going on here? Are we potentially over-optimized or something weird for our own brand!? Any troubleshooting tips? FWIW the changes were made about 6 weeks ago and while we're steadily building links, I don't think this is the standard "Google dance". Thanks!

                                ETA On the Keyword Research Tool?

                                I'm trying to do some keyword research on Google UK but it hasn't been working for a couple of days now. I have a client waiting on a proposal that features this research heavily and might lose them if I can't use it soon! Is there any estimated time for the return of the service? Is the keyword tool down for everybody?

                                The keyword ranking report takes into account all my website urls? Can I specify the URLs where I want to track the keywords?

                                I don't know if my weekly reports are reporting the ranking of my keywords correctly. I have added some new keywords, since that all my reports are in red numbers. I don't know if this is happening because I did something wrong, or if is because my rankings are really falling down.

                                Using MOZ Keyword Rankings with Google Analytics in Excel to track paid keywords

                                Hi, I sorted my keywords in GA from highest incoming traffic to lowest, exported it and then imported these 280 or something keywords into SEO Moz. The  problem is, it appears that SEO Moz Keyword Rankings tool pulls traffic data (in the traffic column) only for NON-PAID traffic ... So what I'm seeing is that keywords that brings A LOT of traffic to my site (because of AdWords) sometimes have 0  of traffic in SEO Moz, because I'm on page 3 of SERP and I literally got no non-paid traffic that week. The thing is: I want to improve my rankings for keywords that I'm already performing well, even if they are paid keywords, because they already bring me a lot of traffic to my website. The way this is working is not helping me out, because when I sort by the traffic column very important keywords end up in the last place for me. Questions: Whey does SEO Moz pull traffic data from non-paid keywords only ? Shouldn't be at least an option for this or I'm missing something here ? While they don't change it, any Excel Gurus could help me how to export SEO Moz ranking data, import it on Excel and MERGE a new "paid traffic" column that I export from Google Analytics ? How to assing each keyword line the paid traffic value I'm getting from GA ? Thanks ! Felipe
