    Hi,
    Can anyone share some experience on how number of visits to his site varied for a particular keyword with his position in google for that keyword. Is there some article or research work which anyone can point me to ? Also, I want to know from people who reachec top position for a competitive keyword, did the number of visitors match the number in overture or wordtracker or was it way off ?
    Thanks
    Rohit

    Thanks. Some good articles but nothing close to what I am looking for. I am looking for some statistics.

    Thanks a lot Will. Are you on 1st positions on all 3 terms. What fraction of the traffic were you getting when you were on position 8-10 or on second page.

    Still not concluded anything but I wonder why website on SERP 1 is getting 30% of the total estimated searches by wordtracker. Considering that google has 80% of market share and wordtracker estimates are based on just a fraction of the market, I would expect the number of searches or visitors to be much more. Or am I missing something ?
