Good ranking but no clicks
With position one page one for several months on at least 5 articles now, I am not seeing any clicks at all. I must be doing something wrong but can't figure it out. Anyone have an idea?

Hey Karl,
Yep, unfortunately, you're searching incorrectly.
The first box on the top left is for your KEYWORD.
Whereas the second box on the top right is for your website name.
You've input your website name in the KEYWORD section on the left-hand side.
However, the keyword section (top left) is where you input the KEYWORD that PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY SEARCHING FOR ON THE INTERNET.
As an example, let's say my website name is
howtoloseweight .com
The title of my article is
17 Awesome Tips to Lose Weight Without Dieting
BUT
The KEYWORD I AM TARGETING is
Lose Weight Without Dieting
It is that 4-word keyword phrase that I would put into the top left box.
And then my website name goes into the top right-hand side box.
The reason for this is that you must look for keywords that PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY SEARCHING FOR.
At this moment in time, no-one knows the name of your website, so they wouldn't type that into the Google Search bar.
Sure, big brand names, e.g. Nike, Adidas, Ford, Ferrari, etc. many searchers will type the name of their website into the Google search bar because it is a WELL-KNOWN & FAMOUS NAME.
So, to check your REAL rankings you would need to put in the KEYWORDS (not the entire title), so the actual phrase that you found in Jaaxy/HUBS into the top left-hand side box.
As I say, your website is very new, you are an unknown entity currently in the online world, so no-one knows your website name, therefore no-one will be searching for it.
The "rankings" you're seeing a really a "false positive".
If someone searched for your website name OF COURSE you would rank NUMBER ONE.
There is NO OTHER WEBSITE ON THE ENTIRE INTERNET with the same website name as yours.
However, this isn't a "real ranking" because no-one on the internet knows your website name yet.
So, ALWAYS type your chosen KEYWORD for ONE ARTICLE AT A TIME into the top left-hand side box.
Partha
The reason you have this result is that you are typing in your domain name and not a keyword. Every website will come up No 1 if you type in the URL or domain name
what is online marketing all about is not a keyword
You need to rank for keywords
