    Why isn't this site getting hits?

    Just out of interest would you use the phrase match figure over the exact match figure? Also - 50% CTR for a top ranked listing? That seems very high in my experience.

    Link farms effect the legitimate participants too.

    Apologies if this has been discussed before - however my understanding of link building was Google would ignore the inbound link if it could not see any relevance, however you got kicked in the cahooners if you linked out to what turned out to be a link farm? Therefore inbound links only had at...

    Website Empire Rankings

    Each to their own I suppose. I am assuming the websites he has built are the one's in his blog. I also assume the Uk business forum is part of his marketing strategy.

    Why isn't this site getting hits?

    Agree with all of the above - (except the phrase match figure). 6,600 exact match searches - we would usually expect between 10% - 25% click rate for a number 1 spot in Google. This would be instantly reduced with your page description (unless someone was looking for a price comparison site)...

    google adwords

    Mike - not sure how long it has been since you set the AdWords up - however it might just be a time issue - AdWords don't often go "live" instantly. It might be that they have been referred to an AdWords "reviewer" before they are allowed to go "live".

    Google Broad Match / Exact Match

    Iamlijo Either I haven't had enough coffee this morning or that doesn't answer my question :| If broad match picks up everything (i.e. the keyphrase and a billion different offshoots) - but the google keyword tool comes back with "ZERO" How is it possible for an exact match to come back with...
