Anyone Can Answer This? About Searching In Quote on Google

vintaysg · 11-22-2010, 04:56 AM

We all know that bum marketing requires us to do a 'search in quote' for certain keyword to determine how competitive the keyword is, so that we can choose the best keyword to rank on first page of Google when submitting article to Ezineaticles.

For example, in order for your article (which published on Ezinearticles) to rank on First page of Google , it is best that the keyword that you are targeting is less than 10,000 when search in quote ("your keyword")

The thing is, take this keyword "how to learn guitar fast" as an example, the result is 1,080,000 when I do a search (in quote) on Google (the world). That is very discouraging
, too competitive......

BUT.......when I click through to the last page of Google, it REVEALED that it only has 26 pages, and the result is only 253.

Any one can explain this? Which result should I believe?

You should stay away from searching with quotes.

Reasons... is your potential traffic searching with quotes? Didn't think so.

Also, ignore 'number or results'. It doesn't really mean much and can be very misleading.

All you should be concerned about is the level of competition on page one. Everything else is pretty much irrelevant.

I have a feeling the information you have is a bit dated.

Learn how to look at page one and how to evaluate competition and the difficulty of getting your site ranked.

Honestly, any course or ebook that even mentions searching with quotes or looking at the number of results as a of measure of competition should be thrown into a digital fire.

Searching in quotes to determine competition is not very helpful except in a very general sense. Where do you want your article to rank? In the Top 10 (Page 1) at Google, right? So do a normal search for your phrase (no quotation marks) and look at the Top 10 results. If you see other articles from article directories or a lot of non-TLD sites, you might be able to sneak in there.

TLD = Top Level Domain and it just means if you see a lot of homepages (http://www.domain.com) in the Top 10 vs. inner pages (http://www.domain.com/innerpage.html), it's a bad sign. The fewer TLD's in the Top 10, the better for you.

This is all very basic, but is a better simple analysis than looking at the total number of pages when you search your phrase in quotes.

searching quotes won't surely give you results by phrase, after typing in the keyword the search will return not the exact quote you are trying to search for

You've already gotten the right advice. Prospective readers aren't searching in quotes, unless it is another marketer looking for a particular article they can swipe/copy/publish...

Your competition is the first page of Google without quotes. After that, it doesn't really matter whether there's 100 results or 10000000000000000.

Wow, only 10 competitors to check out. How easy is your keyword research now?
