Good keyword no traffic
Ok so I recently went top of Google in the UK for the term 'computer support'
Now in my eyes that should get some good traffic, but i got nothing.
Obviously if the traffic was there then I'd be getting some but I just can believe this term isn't well searched for, overture says like 200k a month too.

Thats a good keyword. Are you talking about Yahoo traffic, or Google?

How long have you ranked top for this keyword and which spot are you sitting at? If you can share us with your site I may be able to provide you with some tips.

I rank 2nd and have been there a few weeks, it's in Google UK.
I get 2-3 visits a day, it's bizarre.

What he's/she's trying to say is why he/she doesn't have traffic(organic) in a competitive keyword with a huge searches a month to think she/he rank well on that keyword.

Maybe it has to do with the core of your site. If it's horribly made or down all the time, it won't go very far.

Hi
If i understand your question rightly then there can be many other things beside ranking on the good keywords. may be your meta description or title for the search engine is not very attractful as compare to others ranking top on the same keyword.

Make sure to provide some USP in the title & description of the website, which would entice to click on the website.

Well, another possible reason for an unsatisfying amount of traffic is a tough competition for a certain KW..

tough competition? as i've read the post the site was ranked.. in a huge number of searcher. how can you say tough competition if the site already rank..
ahm..maybe it because the description was not related to your title. some searcher, they first read the description before they click and see the article inside. .. it's one reason why the site cant have a traffic (organic)....

Well, i have to elaborate my previous post..
IMO site's over-all structure (i.e. presentation, contents, images, etc.) will be the basis for the 'competition' - that's what i mean..
If the site has a lot of good things to offer, people tend to visit the site more often then there'll be a satisfying amount of traffic than your competitors..

its somewhat hard to believe that a ranking site with a very nice keyword is experiencing a low traffic rate...one reason I could see on this is, maybe its in your site's content...visitors want a very informative and useful site.

It is not meant that if you have a good keyword you have also a good traffic. Remember that overture is monthly search basis. Allow your keyword to rank good first before you expect a good traffic.

KW competition is one of the major thing here..(not just Dave Hybrid's case)
It's beneficial for a site to rank on top of SERP's but it's not 100% that you can get tons of traffic.. It depends on several things not just SERPs ranking...IMO
