Obviously, one must take into account the industry of a particular client. SEO is not for everyone. You must consider on-page factors for having an impact on conversion rates as well. It is not enough to be on page 1 for any particular keyword if your website is not going to convert visitors into leads. SEO is not a stand alone strategy, but part of a multi-pronged approach to getting the most out of the demand that exists for services / products of a client. Hi Victor,

What page rank is the site? How long did it take (costs)to achieve that? How long did it take to get top positioning in search results? How much money has really been spent to achieve the numbers? And the comparison to the least effective means of traffic gen known to man (banner ads and paid links) further skews the results. It is fair to say organic position produces better results than cpm, but SEO is grossly inefficient in re ROI. Its "better" only because cpm is so bad. Of course this entire line of thought will be moot, very soon, as social media sites like facebook finally figure out that they have a better reach than google........

I suspect the results where significantly enhanced by a <i>very</i> strategic use of key phrases that are micro-niche oriented, and by their very nature are ROI maximizers. Good work!
