Keyword number of competition DOES NOT matter
- SEO |
Here is why I don't think it should matter:
If you were to run a marathon and wanted to win, how would you approach the challenge?
(1) "I need to outrun 10,000 people."
(2) "I need to outrun the best runner."
Just think about it - if the best runner crosses the finish line in 2 hours and 4 minutes, you need to get there in less time. WHO CARES HOW MANY PEOPLE GET THERE AFTER YOU?!
So it is with online competition. Whether the number of sites optimized for a particular keyword is 1,000 or 10,000,000 - if you want your webpage to appear on the first page of Google search results - all you have to do is check the strength of the first 10 sites (# of incoming links, PR, etc.) and beat the weakest of the 10.
What do you think? Am I missing something?
