Keyword ranking high but not getting much traffic

[steveposter]

A kw is ranked pretty well in the SERP's it basically varies from 7-10 top positions.

The search volume is in thousands. But how come the kw actually gets only a handful of traffic (200-360 or so) per month. Not even per day. Its showing in the first page then why so much difference?

First page ranking results doesn't guarantee the same search volume as provided by the tools because it will still depend on how unique and informative your ranking page has in the results page. Analyze your competitors ranking pages and you will see the difference.
