I'm gunning for Google's toughest keyword

[threatlevelorange]

Well, let me explain. The keyword: search engine optimization

I am going to target my local area on google maps. It'll be a cinch for me to crack the code, but wait! Google maps does not appear in my area. Neither does Youtube. Yahoo answers doesn't stand a chance.

So, its an uphill battle.

Is google maps not getting through for that keyword...or is it just in MY area that google maps has no one worth mentioning?

I don't think I understand the Google Maps thing... When i search Search Engine Optimization I don't see any Google Maps or Yahoo answers... Are you trying to get an article promoted with this keyword?

Google maps only shows up for local keywords such as search engine optimization in Los Angelas for high competition keywords.

I noticed.

Is there any way to get ranked for a term such as search engine optimization?

??? I'm not sure I follow you. Are you talking about offline advertising? I have a very effective offline advertising campaign. I am trying to apply myseld to online advertising now.

What kind of traffic could I expect from a keyword with 4400 monthly searches for a (city) seo keyword... and I rank #1 for google maps' 10-pack which is ranked ABOVE all the organic search results?

The only results above the maps listing would be the two adwords at the top.
