<span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'verdana'">First of all, sorry for all the threads I'm starting (this is the 2nd one in 10 minutes),<br />
but hopefully if this gets answered not only me but lots of other people can benefit from the answers as well.<br />
<br />
How many possible unique visitors per day for a rank #1 is a good number?</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'verdana'">I have found a keyword phrase with little to no competition, very relevant to my product which will get my roughly 25 visitors per day (750 a month) from a rank #1. Is this number too low?</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'verdana'">Are there any "rules" to how many visitors you should get per day to make the #1 profitable?<br />
<br />
Would you recommend me to go compete in a tougher keyword phrase, and with lots of work, try to get on the first page?<br />
Or should I, as a startup, first go win in a keyword phrase with no competition, and later on add another page to my site and try to compete on the tougher phrase?</span></span>

- <b>60% of the clicks on Google's front page come from the 1st position and then it decreases exponentially. Also the keyword tools skew the numbers and it would probably be less than 750 visitors/month. </b><br />
<br />
That being said:<br />
<br />
- <b>Are you sure the keyword is un-competitive? Or are you assuming because it only has 750 searches/month that it is not competitive?</b><br />
<br />
Think about it this way: keyword #1 = 24,000 searches/month, but the keyword is "chicken recipes"<br />
<br />
keyword #2 = 300 searches/month, but the keyword is "how to stay alive during a heart attack"<br />
<br />
The first keyword might be easier to rank for over the second keyword simply because nobody will be able to monetize from the first one. (People looking for recipes will not buy an e-book on recipes. People who are at risk of having a heart attack might be more inclined to buy something)<br />
<br />
- <b>How can any number be too low for you to rank for? </b><br />
<br />
Have you ranked any other keywords yet? If not, then the 25 visitors/day would be an amazing achievement. <br />
<br />
You need to rank the smaller ones first, not only because they are easier, but because it gives you multiple advantages:<br />
<br />
1. you get to test your traffic and optimize your site to retain customers better.<br />
2. you learn how to generate traffic<br />
3. you start building relationships and start seeing what your audience needs <br />
4. you see results much faster, which will keep you motivated<br />
5. at the very beginning stages you won't be able to rank a big keyword (period)</div>
