# Sites where “iran” is a top search keyword

One site on record lists “iran” among the searches that send it the most visitors, by traffic estimates. It is searched about **13.6M** times a month on Google, worldwide (Google Ads, Sept 2026), at about $1.26 a click in search ads: a month of its searches would cost about **$17.1M** as search ads. Each site checked on the [backlink value checker](https://mxverify.uk/backlink-value) adds its top five search keywords, so this list grows as sites are checked.

## Keyword intelligence

- **13.6M** Google monthly search volume ×6 since Oct 2025
- **−50%** Last 3 months vs 3 before falling
- **65/100** Demand score moderate
- **78/100** Keyword difficulty (US) hard
- **Informational** Search intent wants to learn
- **$1.26** Google Ads cost per click top-of-page bids $0.03–$2.73
- **3M** Third-party estimated keyword demand Sept 2026
- **1** Sites getting visits from it Sept 2026

### What the data says

- Demand is up on the year but cooling: Google searches for “iran” multiplied about 6 times (2.2M to 13.6M) from Oct 2025 to Sept 2026; the last three months averaged 18.4M, 50% below the three before.
- The listed site takes about 3,750 visits a month from “iran”, 0% of its 3M searches (traffic estimates). The other 100% goes to sites not on record here, or ends without a click.
- At $1.26 a click (Google Ads), the listed sites' 3,750 visits a month from “iran” would cost about $4,725 as search ads. That is what the traffic would cost to buy, not what it earns.
- The two sources differ about 4 times for Sept 2026: Google Ads counts 13.6M searches, the traffic estimates 3M. Read each for its trend, not as an exact count.

### What to do with it

- Treat it as a brand search: Google answers “iran” with the brand's own pages, so a third-party page competes for what is left.
- Google answers part of it in an AI Overview: the pages it cites get a link above the results.
- The listed sites take 0% of its searches: most of the traffic goes to sites not on record here.

A business score needs your own figures (conversion, deal value) and is not made here. Scores are fixed formulas over the figures shown; they are not Google's.

Listed A–Z. A top search keyword is one of the searches that bring a site the most visitors, by estimate. It is not a position in Google, and the order here is not a ranking. Visits (est.): the traffic estimate's own figure for the keyword on that site, which behaves like visits a month, not an amount of money (2026-09-29: it had been shown in dollars). Ad value is what advertisers pay for the keyword — its searches × cost per click — not how hard it is to rank for. This page is kept out of search results until 15 sites share the keyword.

Searches, cost per click and ad value above: Google Ads, worldwide. Sites and their visits: third-party traffic estimates, Sept 2026. The traffic estimates' own searches figure for the keyword is in the section below; the two sources often differ several times over.
