How would YOU tackle the competition in this niche?
- SEO |
Main KWP is 2400 exact searches, global (1300 UK local, 880 US local - I can target both markets with geotargetting, Adsense etc.) - also there are potentially tens, if not hundreds of thousands of related LSI keywords.
I picked up the .org EMD for the main KWP - .com and .net are taken. This is how the competition stacks up:
- SERPS page one has 3 pages with 0 PR (including my direct EMD competition) and 3 pages with NO PR.
- .com EMD is 3rd on page one (excluding shopping results), with 0 PR, very few backlinks and basically a lot of autoblog content.
- .net EMD is 1st behind the shopping results with 0 PR, ONE backlink showing in Yahoo Explorer and just EIGHT very thin pages with some content but mostly eBay listings (hard to believe that is so high up...)
That to my mind is pretty weak competition all round. I am guessing the two EMD's are there basically on the strength of the EMD, from back when that was still highly effective for ranking (I personally don't believe it is as effective anymore), plus a bit of domain age.
So how would you tackle this niche (careful, it could be your sites I'm going after )? I plan to create some good content in any case (better than the competition's - not hard!) but I feel like the niche is not big enough to warrant a full-blown product review blog.
I have a few ideas of my own, but just wanted to bounce ideas off people, especially as my feeling is that it has got harder of late to get a affiliate product review-type site to Google page one - at least, it's not the cakewalk it once was.
What would your tactics involve? I mean, in general (no GreenFart or link spamming - aiming for quality).
