Traffic share explained

Traffic share is a metric that's is based on the slice of the "search pie" your site receives of a specific keyword.

Traffic share is divided in branded and non-branded traffic share. These segments must be separated because they cannot be compared. It is difficult nowadays to track the rank of a keyword due to "personal search". That is why we developed a new SEO performance indicator: 'traffic share';

Explanation SEO KPI Traffic Share

'Traffic share' represents the percentage of visits to your website over the last month in comparison to the estimated benchmark a number one search engine listing can bring in for a particular keyword. This metric is targeted to your specified country as well as the language settings for all search engines in your country. Also 'traffic share' is segmented by brand keywords and non-brand keywords.

Example	search volume exact keyword	estimated benchmark %	estimated nr1 traffic volume	current traffic volume site	'traffic share'
branded keyword	12,000	50%	6,000	4,500	75%
non-branded keyword	600	20%	120	12	10%

Traffic share metric solves a lot of SEO issues

Keyword Traffic Share represents a 'legal' way to measure search engine visibility. Getting a search engine ranking is only possible via techniques that Google c.s. does not allow.
This SEO KPI represents the search-funnel from search to seeing your listing to click trough. Ranking is only about your representation in a search engine list. Traffic share takes 2 more things into account: the demand for a keyword, based on search volume for a keyword and the clicks of users on your listing.
Additionally, Keyword Traffic Share eliminates all of the fuzzy "personal search" engine rankings that differ from the normal, regular search engine rankings.

Weighted Average Traffic Share

Next to traffic share down at the keyword level, SEO Effect also calculates the weighted average traffic share. This high level SEO KPI is a percentage from zero to 100%. When you have a weighted average traffic share of 100%, all of your optimized keywords have a number one position in all of the search engines in your country. More importantly, they push maximum traffic to your website. The term, "weighted average" means that keywords with a higher search volume have more weight in this KPI.

Brand and non brand segmentation

Both 'weighted average traffic share' and 'traffic share' down to the keyword level are segmented by brand keywords and non-brand keywords. For brand keywords a higher percentage of searchers will click on the number one position in a search result then for a non-branded keyword search. So it's more insightful to separate them in two segments.
