: If the impressions are very high and clicks are very low, should the keywords be changed? I have worked very hard for my website. We update it every two days. The site's impressions are good

@Speyer207

I would recommend a three step strategy here:


Check your site's position for these keywords. If it is less than 10, then move to step 2. If not, improve your on-page and off-page optimization factors to get it under 10. Always remember. The higher your position, the better the CTR.
See the results that are listed before you for that keyword. Some results such as those from Wikipedia has got this natural tendency of attracting clicks. If you have got any such blocking results, I would recommend you to try changing your strategy and keywords.
If there are no blocking results, then edit the description meta tag to something a bit more interesting. Keep it simple and clean but striking and compelling at the same time. This will increase the click through rates.

The keyword quality will influence impression numbers: if the keyword is good and you rank high, you will get impressions.

CTR is determined by other factors: as mentioned by Dave Rook, title is one of them (although it also influences keywords you want to rank for).
Other factors are:


Position in the page: if you rank #10 in each page, CTR it is thought to be naturally around 1-3%.
Meta description: if you have a good catchy snippet, more people will click through
Rich Snippets: Author Thumb, app thumb, stars of reviews, etc will increase your CTR


There are probably more factors, but I could only think about the ones mentioned above right now.

However, it might be that your keyword are targeting the wrong audience (for example, you want to rank for apple pies, and a lot people interested in Apple products are finding you in their searches, therefore they wont click on your links). If this is the case, I'd suggest to target different keywords (less generic). Otherwise you could "just" improve your CTR

This is really hard to answer. There is no reason why what you have is or isn't desireable, but it depends on the ROI / conversion rate etc.

However, I assume the reason it's not doing well is for a few reasons which include;

1) Poor use of the title tag - why put your company name in the title - it's on the website and is not important to searches (if some one searches by your company name they already know you and will find you). Make the title tag longer and relevant about each page. If you can't, then maybe break down each page into smaller pages so the title becomes relevant to the content.

2) You only use H2 tags - at one point, this 'was' the most popular tag to use, not any more. Set your H tags like a news paper (my results suggest this works effectively). Heading (H1) at the top, 2 or 3 max second headings (h2) and even a few smaller headings after (5 max H3).

3) You could improve the URL pages - for example, if I click on your site menu's 'IPHONE' the URL is uncategorized! That doesn't seem like a sensible decision.

There a few things to get going.
