I am using Squidoo, Ezine and video marketing to promote a Clickbank product in this example and here is what is happening:
My product is for motion sickness.
Google keyword research shows the keyword phrase "Anti nausea" as having 18,000 searches per month.
Google keyword research shows the keyword phrase "Nausea remedies" as having 12,000 searches per month.
I chose "Anti nausea remedies" as part of my keywords in my title ect. for a squidoo lens, an Ezine article, and a viralized video I made, expecting to see a high amount of traffice if I made it to Googles page one. Makes sense so far?
Okay, so on to my question. I am now on page one of Google right this very moment, if you want to search for yourself you will see that this is a fact. (Vishal, I DEFINITELY am not trying to get traffic by posting this, I am just looking for insight from an educated group of IM'ers)
So my question is where is all the traffic? I have VIDEOS, an Ezine article and a squidoo lens ALL on the front page and no one is clicking them. (Maybe a view or 2 per day is all each of my listing get) I totally don't get it????
I would understand if my material was low quality and I got no sales, but not even views? I thought if I *build* it they would come?
Someone please explain what's going on here because I have several campaigns where this is happening and I'm at a complete loss?
Hopefully this post will help others experiencing the same thing.
Best of luck to all of us!
James

Sorry, that only works in baseball movies. 
At the moment I see your ezine article is #7 on Google's first page for "nausea remedies" with 25 views since it was submitted on June 6th. (A well-written informative article, by the way.)
While getting on the first page of any search engine is a great achievement by itself, it doesn't guarantee an automatic, immediate flood of traffic. I'd give it time and see what happens.
In the meanwhile you could write other articles, create other videos and Squidoo lenses around the same and closely similar keywords. The aim is to get as many of your promotional pieces on the first page for the same or similar keywords.
So, if 7 of the 10 listings on page one were yours, you'd be whistling a different tune, I'm sure.

Hmmm. On my firefox "Cleaned out, logged out, cookies emptied, as purified as I can make it", browser, I'm coming up with 2 video thumbnails of mine, an Ezine article (Thanks by the way) and my Squidoo lens ALL on page one.
Effectively getting me 40% of page one and still only 2 or 3 views per listing per day?
I'm baffled. Thanks for your feedback!

I see it now. "Anti nausea remedies" gets you a 40% footprint on the first page. With that kind of presence you ought to be getting substantially more than 2 or 3 views per listing per day. I am baffled too!
Your research shows approximately 30,000 combined searches per month for "anti nausea" and "nausea remedies". That's works out to roughly 1,000 searches per day between them.
Your "anti nausea remedies" key phrase contains each of the above search terms and should be benefitting from traffic for both terms. What you are getting, approximately 12 views per day from 4 listings on the same page, seems grossly out of whack. The numbers should be closer to 400 per day.
Wish I could offer a plausible explanation.

I think I figured it out. When I place the keywords in [brackets] the results make a lot more sense. Thanks for your input A8ch.
Update.
Nope. Still off. I think it's that I need a *paid for* keyword tool.
Best,

I suspect that Google and gtrends lies about the the traffic per day.
But try getting to number one on serps for your keyword...... lol
Then if you still dont get hits, then i was right?

When I put it in the EXACT search in the adwords tool, the numbers of searches goes way down.. but there are still enough to make me scratch my head as well...

I would not go out and pay for a keyword tool just yet.
Time after time, I read Google's data is most current.
However:
Last year when I did my research for the Thirty Day Challenge (Google was in the middle of this huge keyword update thing)
I built an entire campaign with a phrase that had tons of searches and low competition.
A week later, I checked the key phrase data again, as I was baffled too and found the phrase had many times the competition originally displayed.
Go figure!
I wish I could help!

"Anti nausea remedies" according to Google has a global monthly search volume of "390" or roughly 39 searches per day. According to Market Samurai, the numbers are 13 per day and a with a #1 listing, you can expect around 5 clicks per day. And this will reduce as you go down. Majority of the clicks are obtained by first three listings and the numbers decrease considerably as you go down.
I checked keywords "anti nausea" and "nausea remedies" and you only have video listings on #13 or so. A top listing for both keywords can get you approx. 250 and 140 clicks. Now going down to #13 listing, it's only a guess as to how much you many visits you can expect in that spot. There is no clear cut formula as such.
Like I said earlier, majority of clicks are obtained largely by top 3 listings and as you go down, your chances become dimmer and dimmer, unless of course you have a very catchy title.
