Quick Keyword Research Question

[breezynetworks]

Hey guys.

I am battling to understand keyword competition research and I would appreciate some help.

If I search for my keyword in Google, the top 10 results are fairly strong with some of them PR4+ and a good couple thousand backlinks. However, not to be swayed as I am building for the long term, I did some keyword anchor analysis on each of the top 10 results and not a single one was optimized for my specific keyword. Heck, they were not even slightly close to it. So I presume they were ranking based on relevant content.

So my question is, could I outrank them since I will be optimizing 100% for that keyword. I do NOT have an EMD but after much research, it doesnt seem to make THAT much of a difference. (please do the same research before you flame about this) I will be building quality links manually with PR4+ dofollow links from blogs/forums/articles. I might blast those links with automated tools afterwards.

Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks

First, start with EMD and simply add a suffix as your
first attack.

Second, analyze your competition's web pages that
is ranking for the keyword. It may be that it is their
home page that is PR4 and not the page on the SERPs.

Third, create quality content after reading all the first
page content of the ranking pages. Add all their points
and additional points from you.

Google will have no option than to acknowledge you as
the authority.

Thanks for the response

Sounds good. I can confirm that most of the top 5 PAGES that are being ranked are not anywhere near PR4. In fact, some of the pages that are ranking have zero backlinks to page. Those that do have backlinks to page, are not anchored for my targeted keyword (not even slightly) They do however, have the power of being on a PR4-6 domain.

However, what if the root domain is ranking for the top spot. (not wikihow/etc in this case) The root domain has PR5 but as I said before, although its a super powerful authority domain, they are not even slightly optimizing for the keyword I want to target.

Any further thoughts? I am sure I am not the only one that will find this info useful

hi,

yes you can beat anyone for any group of keyphrases if you target your onsite optimisation correctly and have a more of a variaty of types of links ie multimedia. Relevant and non priorty keywords are targeted by websites after they have dominated the highly optimised pages.

a good way to check dedicated targeted trafic for your chosen phrases is to insert them in the " " symbols then see how many results which will give you a live and accurate estimation of targeted traffic.

also, consider the importance of natural (links that get indexed due to demand) and unnatural (sprayed links by you)

If you would like help in creating high quality multimedia publications that will each be indexed naturally by themselves which would be CONFIRMED as natural backlinks and WILL prove to be very powerful, i can help.

by using a selection of high ranking publication sites i can create a powerful cloud which will provide powerful, related, targeted and content rich backlinks to your website.

My prices are very cheap but is variable depending on the size of your keyword campaign.

please feel free to contact me for any further information. Kind regrards. Wayne.
