Does exact phrase competition REALLY matter?
- SEO |
I am new at this whole SEO game, but if I'm aiming to be on the first page of google my thought would be that I only need to be better than the top 10 already there. Does it really matter if there are another 10,000 or 100,000 pages out there beyond the top ten spot?
While doing KW research I've found a number of keywords where the top 10 results have next to no links, and are poorly optimized on-page according to a few different programs (microniche, market samurai, traffic travis), and appear as though it shouldn't be too much to get on to page one..... but then that nagging little rule I keep hearing floating around about the amount of exact phrase match competition keeps popping into my head!
Am I missing something?
Thanks for your help!
Cheers,
