This would mean a number 3 position is worth 1,412 per month or 46 per day. We are pretty new but well ranked, and receiving only 10% of that figure per day for this keyword. Most of our hits are coming from very specific area / restaurant searches. Anyone know why? Where are all those hits ending up? BTW, I created a really neat little Excel spreadsheet to calculate from the figures in this post. Anyone want it, let me know...

For me it was more like 5-10% if I used the data from the Google Keyword Tool. Of my sites that are ranked number one in Google they got 5-10% of the clicks from the total number of people searching for the keywords those sites were ranked number one for.

We have been around 15 years and nothing I do can get another keyword to get more than 5%. I know this indicates great brand recognition but I think it also means we are missing out on a lot of people that don't know us. Is there a way to start getting additional bookmarks and get more traffic from keywords. We have many good positions on other keywords. I'm not complaining we have been in the top 5000 on Alexa and get 15 pageviews per visitor. I just want to reach new visitors. my trademark chatropolis gets around 87 percent of our traffic.

When dealing with numbers as low as ten clicks it won't be as quite as accurate, but with higher volumes you can expect these figures to stack up. Hi PS3, yeah those figures are accurate.

Simon, that's an interesting question about CTR on Adwords compared to organic results. I'll look into that for you and may blog on the subject in future.

You make a very good point about not bothering to optimise your site if #1 rank would still only get you minimal results, I but remember that.

How much increased traffic can a site expect by having 1st page natural rankings plus PPC, compared to PPC only?
