Organic search and site traffic

Posted on 18. Mar, 2010 by David in Takeaway

A Google search on “Promotional Products” return these 10 results (after the jump) in the organic (or non paid) category.

I’ve put the unique visitor results from February which I got from compete.com beside each  site name and listed the site names in the order in which they appear on Google.

One of the interesting things about this list is how organic search success has very little correlation with site traffic. The number two result has the worst traffic on the list  and 4imprint.com which doesn’t even appear on the list has more traffic that anyone with 108,509 unique visitors.

So the lesson here is while organic search success is nice it has very little to do with increasing site traffic .
