The title to this article is probably confusing to many of you. Getting a lot of targeted traffic when you are at the top of Google sounds like it would be happening automatically, but that isn’t always the case…

I know this because I took one of my sites all the way to the number one spot on the front page of Google for a keyword with over 67 Million results returned and only ended up with about 20 visitors a day as a result. This happened as a result of poor planning in the early stages of this site’s development.

There are three things that you need to be sure of so that when you get to the top of the Google listings you get that free targeted traffic you seek.

1. Keywords With High Search Volume – Why bother to build the backlinks for a keyword that has less than a hundred people searching for it every month? It takes the same amount of work to rank well for one with over ten thousand. Don’t assume that because a keyword returns millions of results that it is also being searched for by millions of people. I like to look for keywords and keyword phrases that have relatively low competition but show at least a thousand searches a month and preferably as many as ten thousand.

2. Relevant Domain Name – If you were paying for a PPC campaign to that keyword, you would make sure the domain name contained relevant keywords to the niche of the keyword you were paying for, so why wouldn’t you make sure it makes sense for the keywords you are ranking for. If your domain name isn’t relevant to the search term you won’t get the clicks. Keyword rich domain names can sometimes cost a lot of money, so I look for deals on them that include other services that add value like existing traffic from an expired domain or domains that come with high pagerank backlinks.

3. Relevant Content – Your Meta info and your posts or page abstract need to be relevant to the search being conducted or people just won’t be motivated to click your listing. This seems pretty basic and may even seem to be almost automatic but it needs to be thought about when you create your site, and when you make each post to your blog.

Getting free targeted traffic from the search engines is a realistic goal for every website if you do your SEO work building backlinks and publishing articles pointing to your websites, blogs and webpages.

Build your backlinks with anchor text for carefully chosen keywords and keyword phrases making sure they have a high volume of monthly searches, and that they are relevant to your site’s content and domain name and your targeted traffic will never be disappointing.
