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.

sent per PM . Thanks
-
Can you share the keywords (by PM if not publicly)
-
I dont know . Its results by SEOMOZ. The keywords are good ..but simpple dont understand why isnt it shown as well and on the GA
Thanks for clarification
-
There are really 3 possible causes.
- 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. - 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 - 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.
- You aren't ranking as well as you think you are

Keyword Research and Planning Flow
Hello, First post here. I am a IT infrastructure engineer that does application and deployment work mostly, but new to SEO. That being said, I am a firm believer in demming wheel and defined process/flow charts. I have a website up, built as best practice, its a Magento CE open source Ecommerce store. After some initial research, it seems I really need to define my keywords before I start branding my landing pages and such. So i am going to have to go back and implement the keywords and evaluate. But as I am reading it seems most SEO people try their keywords in google ad words first? Then implement? I am hoping to find some flow or process sheets on how successful Keyword research is done via step by step process and evaluation. And explanations of each. How many keywords to start with per landing page, how many to try and get in the H1 headers, paragraphs, URL. How long to leave keywords in to test? Also, I am a start up company that is competing with the big boys in my market space. I know I cant compete for the big keywords in my market? What is my best strategy for getting any kind of ranking as a small business in a global market? SEO is a mysterious, intriguing thing to me! Very much reminding me of one of my favorite whimsical quotes I will leave you will now, and thanks for reading. -Alex "Invention, my dear friends, is 93% perspiration, 6% electricity, 4% evaporation, and 2% butterscotch ripple." - Willy Wonka

Duplicate page report
We ran a CSV spreadsheet of our crawl diagnostics related to duplicate URLS' after waiting 5 days with no response to how Rogerbot can be made to filter. My IT lead tells me he thinks the label on the spreadsheet is showing “duplicate URLs”, and that is – literally – what the spreadsheet is showing. It thinks that a database ID number is the only valid part of a URL. To replicate: Just filter the spreadsheet for any number that you see on the page. For example, filtering for 1793 gives us the following result: | URL http://truthbook.com/faq/dsp_viewFAQ.cfm?faqID=1793 http://truthbook.com/index.cfm?linkID=1793 http://truthbook.com/index.cfm?linkID=1793&pf=true http://www.truthbook.com/blogs/dsp_viewBlogEntry.cfm?blogentryID=1793 http://www.truthbook.com/index.cfm?linkID=1793 | There are a couple of problems with the above: 1. It gives the www result, as well as the non-www result. 2. It is seeing the print version as a duplicate (&pf=true) but these are blocked from Google via the noindex header tag. 3. It thinks that different sections of the website with the same ID number the same thing (faq / blogs / pages) In short: this particular report tell us nothing at all. I am trying to get a perspective from someone at SEOMoz to determine if he is reading the result correctly or there is something he is missing? Please help. Jim

Hyphens in Page Titles?
We are using a combination of keywords using our brand name. So the keyword is structure as: brand name - word (separated by a hyphen) When I run a report on the page for the keywords that have the above format, the report tells me that I need to use the keyword in the title of the page. Is it okay to have hyphens in Page Titles? I assume not, but I want to double check. Thanks, Alex

Only crawling one page
Hi there, A campaign was crawling fine, but at the last crawl, for some reason, SEOmoz can only crawl one page... any ideas? If I run a custom crawl I still access all of the site's pages.

Pass Page LinkJuice? Or Pass Keyword LinkJuice?
I have a popular page that is not one of the three pages that I am hoping to raise awareness of (want to focus on). The dilemma I am trying to understand is that I really don't want to encourage all the flow from the popular to ONE of my hopeful pages (focus pages). Rather, I want to focus the keyword portions of that page to help the three hopeful pages. So I consider the rel=canonical tag.... err no. rel=canonical would pass ALL my popular page link juice to ONE of my three hopeful pages. What's the best way to pass the keyword link juice relevant to each of my three hopeful pages their, um, portion, of the popular page link juice. I'm white hat by preference. All four pages are good legitimate landing pages, and of course I dread sabotaging the popularity of what is working. Suggestions? Advice?
