I think that question is a bit too technical for me. I don't think I understand what you are asking for, but I would be sure glad to answer it if you can explain your question to me. LOL (Seriously)

If you are talking about for this thread on how we're judging...quite simply...under what phrases are you ranked highly in google? How long did it take you to get there? Just guessing, is that what you're asking?

NEVER GIVE UP!!!

I was more curious what kind of metrics you use, for example I see how many pages I have cached in Google, Links in Yahoo, Pagerank, Alexa Rankings, visits from unpaid search engines, things along those lines.

Just curious if you measured your sites success in anything other than SERP. ;-)

A 7 word long-tail keyword, you're joking right? Do people even search using the term "how to increase free web traffic dramatically" ?

Yes they do...that's the only way I knew I was ranked...I am more than aware that it's not a highly searched phrase, but my point is it still worked. If you are a negative commenter, please go elsewhere, do not want to hear it. I am pretty excited and you are not bringing me down!

You have to start somewhere right?

Really, you could have phrased this in a number of ways that would be able to contribute positively. Such as:

"I'm just curious, because I don't get a lot of traffic from such long keywords, but do you have people finding your site with such long search phrases?"

There are enough people that prefer to post negative, critical comments rather than helpful comments. Not everything is going to be positive, but everything can be helpful.

JLeezer, absolutely agree!!! Thanks for the support. I think it is much better with positive criticism as opposed to tearing people down. Thanks for the post.

Agree, not as much traffic, but I am going to get there!!!

I think the whole point of long tail keywords are that not a lot of people search for them. Hence "the long tail".... Anyone else read the book based on this?

Jleezer, Traffic, you guys are right... sorry to be a dick.

Since your website is less than a month old don't get down if your rankings fluctuate or you lose rankings all together for a while (google sandbox).. Just continue to build backlinks with varied anchor text and add relevant content. Targeting long tail keywords in the beginning is in fact a great strategy to build traffic and trust with Google (because it looks natural).

Best of luck.

Aletheides, you just earned a LOT of respect with me. I appreciate the reply in such a positive format. Others have been absolute jerks in different forums, but it shows your true character. Keep up the good work and thank you for the advice. I have heard of the fata "google sandbox" but believe I will avoid it. (Cross my fingers) If not, no big deal, I'll come back with guns a blazing! LOL

You guys are awesome...thanks for all the support!!!

I guess I am a little late on the discussion but let me see if I can add some notes here.

While is good you are ranking high for long tail keywords, the real value is as follow:
visitors per keyword / monthly keyword searched = ?? This will tell you if that keyword is effective. For example 10 look for that monthly and you only getting 1 visitor for that keyword... you have 10% of the traffic. Not bad now lets do some real traffic metric s here.

500 visitors / 25,000 = 0.02

So with a 0.02 traffic for that keyword. Now how many people sign up? 200? 100? 10? 1? 0?

How effective is the keyword?

That is a very useful metric to measure how effective it is .Which mean we should always keep track the keyword we use and how effective is the keyword,correct?
