Hi Warriors,

I know that keywords with low competition are the way to go so I can rank easily on Google, but what if the keywords have low competition but the niche is so tough? Let's say I found low competition keywords in a hard niche like acne, do I still have a chance to be on first page granting that my site is well optimized and such?

    How are you determining the competition strength?

    If you found some low competition 'acne' keywords, the most likely have very little search traffic.

    If the keyword has decent amount of searches then you should be able to rank easily. However a low competition keyword should be profitable only then it makes sense to put in the effort. In the Google keyword planner look for CPC for the keyword. If you're going to monetize with adsense, ideally you should go for keywords with more than $1 CPC.

    Acne is a broad and over populated niche. If you manage to find some low competition keywords then i would say you are lucky but i dont think it will have decent amount of traffic. Even if you are interested then you can go and give it shot, if you can make a site with good content and do the seo properly, you can rank well.

    It’s not that difficult to rank certain keywords as long as you’re putting great quality content to your website that you update regularly. Also, aim to build authority by acquiring links from different high authority sites. Remember to build links slowly and keep building to maintain link velocity. Everything is possible with SEO, you just need to invest time and effort.

    Actually, it's a good idea to try to find keywords with low competitions, even if they don't have too many searches.
    However, you have to find keywords that do have some traffic, because if not, you will not receive enough traffic from it.
