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.

If I use a similar H1 on two landing pages for my website will it impact my SEO negatively?
I've been doing quite a bit of research on keyword cannibalization and duplicate content. I have two pages with nearly the same H1. The rest of the body is different, with a few similar overlapping keywords and points. Am I right in that nealry the same keyword in H1 on two separate landing pages will damage by SEO?

SEO'd Title Tag for Product Pricing Page with Little to No SV for Product Pricing Related Terminology
Hello, What should one do about a title tag for product pricing page (of a SaaS company)? The only keywords/phrases that have SV are "Acme Pricing" "Acme Product Pricing" and "Acme Solutions Pricing", but obviously I don't want to use all three since "Acme" and "Pricing" repeat in all three. Should the title tag just be "Acme Pricing"? In past experiences, a title tag that short typically gets changed by Google in SERPs. Should one not optimize the title tag at all? Any thoughts, suggestions, would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

SEO for ecommerce site. Where do I start?!
Hello! New pro member here that's very excited yet overwhelmed about working with a large e-commerce site for photo gear. I've already read the SEOMoz beginner's guide, but we have about 4k products online, and I've been researching and researching but am feeling more confused than ever on where to start. It seems that most SEO help articles I read are based around optimizing a couple of keywords for a site that provides a general service, but where do you begin when you have 4k products? I've been trying to start with the products that get the most traffic and least conversions. But even then it's overwhelming--which keywords do I choose? And with products like Polaroid film where we have several similar products--how do I know which keyword to use for each product page? This is a hugely broad question, but ANY advice on where to start would be so insanely appreciated. I'm a one-woman show completely new to this world. I can't wrap my head around optimizing certain product pages, and keyword research is even more baffling. Any articles you've found helpful? Or advice? I'm floundering!

How do I do SEO for a client who is starting a website that is in a niche with very little to none search traffic?
I am helping a client do On-page optimization and link building. His website is rather like thoughtcatalog.com, where it is a collection of random articles, opinions and anecdotes with no fixed genre. He also has a section devoted to artsy pictures of women. To make things worse, I am in a country (singapore) where the population is small, and the search traffic for his kind of content is minuscule. I have trouble finding out good keywords for him to target and I am considering not undergoing any serious keyword targeting at all (because it will detract from the style of his content). I did a little competitor research, and most of the websites in such a genre do not seem to do any keyword targeting at all! In such a case, how do i continue to help him with SEO? should I abandon keyword research? What should i do to help him earn traffic?

Local SEO: By city, by multiple cities, or by region?
My client is a kitchen remodeling company in Sterling, Virginia and is trying to rank well in local results. I am struggling with keyword selection mostly because I am still learning about local SEO. The city the company is located is Sterling, however their business comes from several other close by cities like Reston, Herndon, and Fairfax (Nobody lives in Sterling so they don't care too much about owning that in search engines). Is the right strategy: 1. Choosing one city and focusing on that (kitchen remodeling in reston, VA) 2. Optimizing for multiple cities (kitchen remodeling, reston, herndon, fairfax...) 3. Optimizing for an entire region (kitchen remodeling, northern virginia) I know it's hard to answer this with little information but gut reactions would be appreciated. I am a new SEOmoz member so excuse me if this question is too specific for this forum. I'm still getting a feel for the community. Thanks! Sean
