This week we published an article on our web site discussing a concept we have developed called Keyword Relative Value. The article can be accessed via the link below:

To quote from the article:
We developed a formula intended to attach a numerical value to a web site’s search engine ranking for a specific keyword. The resulting number, called the Keyword Relative Value (or “KRV”), places a value on a keyword for a particular web site based on two parameters: the amount of expected traffic for the keyword and a site’s ranking in a particular search engine for the keyword.
Here is the KRV formula:
KRV = ROUND(T*(SQRT((1/R)^3)),2)
where T = the expected traffic for a keyword and R = a web site’s ranking for the keyword in a particular search engine.
The above formula derives the value for one particular keyword. A much more instructive exercise is to calculate the KRV’s for a group of keywords. We call this the Aggregate Keyword Relative Value (“AKRV”). The formula for AKRV is as follows:
AKRV = X(ROUND(T*(SQRT((1/R)^3)),2))
where X is the number of keywords that have search engine rankings.
The point of these formulas is to boil your web site’s search engine visibility for a common set of keywords down to a single number. You can then track this number over time and compare it to your competitors to gauge your visibility against your competitors. We believe this concept is a powerful new tool to give web site owners a stronger sense of how well they rank in the search engines, in an easy-to-understand format: a single number.
