Here is the website: http://www.dezoekmachineoptimalisatie.n ... ekmachine/.
For onpage it only has keyword in description but when i check here http://www.seocentro.com/tools/search-e ... lyzer.html i see it has also keyword in title and header.
How come this has not been seen by traffic travis.

I checked the results on the keyword 'google zoekmachine' (search location netherlands). Traffic Travis ranked it as the 5th site and it showed that the keyword is in the title, description and heading.




Can you give us the search parameters that you used and send us a screenshot if you are getting different results? Please email us through our contact form at our support page.

You could just do a keyword search without quotes or brackets. Quotes are used to get the exact keyword match results. The thing with using quotes is that the results from such a search will not reflect the true results pulled up by ordinary internet users. We usually do not put quotes on when we do a search in Google.

Mark has also posted the comment below to answer a question on the same issue (only Affiloblueprint members have access to the thread): Keyword Phrases - Correct english or the exact phrase match

When using the Keyword Tool its better to use Broad matching rather than Exact as that will skew your results

Hope that helps!

Maybe because we use different google searches.You are in philipinnes and i am in the netherlands.

If we set the search location to the same country, Traffic Travis should give out the same results no matter where we are. I used "Netherlands" as search location for google zoekmachine. The site http://www.dezoekmachineoptimalisatie.n ... oekmachine is currently ranked #2. Maybe it was 5th on ranking during the time I checked.

Otherwise if i do a keyword for US i will get different rankings then someone who really searches for that term in the US.This is very important.

Search engines show different results based on the location of the user. Traffic Travis pulls out its data from the actual results given by search engines. I suggest that you set the search location to "US" if you want to target a global market.
