Same Fallacy, New Location

1 replies
I'll admit it, I used to think that the number of competing pages was the be all end all means of examining the difficulty of ranking for a keyword. Then I learned about checking the quantity of backlinks, quality of backlinks, page rank, on page seo, etc. It seems like a no brainer now, looking back. You want to be on the first page of Google, so why do you care about anyone beyond the first page? You're not competing for anything but that.

Now with video marketing becoming more and more common, I'm seeing this same fallacy of quantity of competition over quality of competition. Most of what I read about research with the Youtube keyword tool still suggests that whenever you find a well searched keyword, you then need to check on the quantity of competing videos.

Is this not the same fallacy as with Google? Or am I way off base and it should be assumed that Youtube videos are generally well optimized?

    Same thing its a indication with volume of competition but its always you analyzing the first 10 results and if you are a new video or website indexed you need to target weak front page competition and use LSI keywords and build high ranking variety backlinks until you are in #1 position.
