The Competition Factor - How important is it?
- SEO |
If you type a keyword phrase into google in quotes e.g. "dog training guide"
it returns about 60,000 results. This is often used to "access" the competition.
A lot of people advise going for keywords with a lower number, usually <30,000 while others say that it doesn't matter what the number is and that it's all about accessing the competition on the first page since this is where all the action is.
Many believe that if you think you can outrank the top 10, you should still go for it regardless of what the quoted keyword number is.
I'd like to hear your thoughts on this, and preferably experience with keywords you've gone after.
Personally I think that it does play a role, but mainly in that it will take you longer to crack the top 10 of a 60,000 keywords phrase vs a 25,000 keyword phrase.
I don't think it will necessarily be harder, it will just take longer. I don't know if this is because Google take a little longer to place your website since there are more sites to consider.
Anyone got any experience on sites with both low and high quote numbers?
