SEO Files > SEO Tip: Target Keywords You Are Already Ranking For

http://www.sandbergventures.com [ Internet Business Blog] Considering the fact that click through rate increases pretty significantly the higher up you are in the SERPs, your time and money is often times better spent focusing on boosting rankings for keywords which you are already listed for rather than keywords which you hope to rank for but have not yet obtained a listing. You may end up spending a lot of time and money trying to rank for keywords which are ultimately out of your reach when you could have spent that same effort boosting rankings for keywords for which you already have a listing.

If you're ranked second, your click-through rate is 3.5 times less than No. 1. Second, 4.9 times less.
