    Anyone's guess, OP. It always depends on Page One competition. But! Given the search volume, you'll almost surely have stiff PO competition. Short answer: a long time, I'm afraid.

        The reality is that most of those sites are far from perfect.

        If you take a look at the number of pages that contain your keyword in their title, you don't have to aim at such a low number as 1,000 pages.

        At the same time, you don't want too 'much' competition. A reasonable number to compete with is going to be less than 100,000, but you also want to look at the quality of those pages.

        Consider that the top 10 are the best of each. You can score your competition on many factors, and remember to check their SEO as well.

        The amount of time it takes is set to a minimum. Google will index your site over intervals of time that decrease as you remain consistent.

        Relevancy is very important as well. Google wants to find search results that relate as close as possible with what a person is searching for, and also deems 'quality'.

        You'll notice that many times your competition has a ton of information that doesn't relate directly to the search term, and isn't narrow enough.

        Given the proper search and social marketing techniques, as well as thorough market research (cutting corners could waste a year of your time), you could potentially be ranking for many keywords very quickly.

        The more keywords you rank for that are relevant to your niche, the greater authority it will have, and the greater your results will be.

        As is mentioned above, there is no specific time limit. Each keyword will take a certain duration of time, and if you rank each one strategically within an appropriate niche, your success is 'possible'.

        This term 'possible' is another way of looking at how easy it will be.

    It all depends on the SEO techniques you are using, the type of people you manage to impress and bring on your site, the competition, how good you are and more. However, this is not the right way to think about SEO, you should consider learning more first and then thinking about ranking on the first page.

      Yes John,

      it's a job nowadays wading through the spammers to find an OP that actually replies to the answers given in a thread, apart from that it is sinking nicely

    I think you must to understand it is a competition. Other sites will not remain fixed, they are like moving targets, and many of them has the advantage of age. So, when you will rank in 1st page? what do you think now?

    Impossible to give to a true answer.
    How competitive is the keyword? How old is your site? Are you just starting?

    It's extremely hard to make any projection, who tell you I can make your site n.1 for that keyword in x weeks is either not serious or going to use black hat techniques that in the long term will only hurt your domain.

    Well, ye're sayin' 1,000 competin' sites. I have no idea whar ye came up wit' th' number, but th' reality be that every site on th' internet be competin' against it. I understand ye probably don't want to gift out th' keyword, but be 'tis a "buyer" keyword or entertainment? Nobody gunna be able to gift ye a real answer wit' ye just mentionin' th' keyword.

    It doesn't matter if the search volume is 3 or 3 billion, you have 10 competing sites on the first page of the SERP's, if you want to be at number 1, you have just one competitior, all you have to do is beat the site at the number 1 position.

    Check their backlinks, how long will it take you to get more quality links than they have?
    1 week, 1 month? 1 year? 10 years? Never?

      Many people don't really think 'bout link velocity. If a site has shout 25k links 'n they all seem quality 'n ye're tryin' to compete against it. ye actually have a deadly serious problem because by th' the hour ye get, shout 1,000 quality links, ye competition may now have 30k quality links. So 'tis actually impossible to outrank them completely.

        landlubbers would need a double ration of link quality, then the evil King G, may give 'em the Black Spot!

            Cor, I bet that stung a bit.
            Was you looking for Captain Morgan's treasure with your band of cutthroats or just on a safari holiday with Mrs Brownbeard and the young shavers?

    I'll buy that.

    Truth is, the only time I end up in that section is when I've replied to a post on the main board, come to think of it.

    To answer your original question, though, it takes as long as it takes. Too many variables to be more precise. If you want to shorten the time, you might want to check out resources like the MOZ blog, Neil Patel's stuff and a few others.
