So I'm currently doing a bit of research on sites ranking for competitive keywords to see their linking patterns and other things and I'm not sure if I'm going in the right direction.

I was kind of leaning towards keywords like viagra type ones and keywords related to insurance. Am I on the right track?

What do you think the most competitive keywords are on Google?

    "Untitled" - "Homepage".

    There's always something interesting going on at "buy viagra" (without quotes). Right now they all seem to be relevant, but if you go to the second page of results, you will see:

    U CARD | The University of North Dakota

    Now it is going to the actual page on University Of Noth Dakota's website. A couple of weeks ago, that page was in the top 3 on the first page for "buy viagra", and was somehow being redirected to some page where you could buy viagra. EDIT: However, Google's cache showed the actual University of North Dakota page. So these guys were fooling Google bigtime for a while.

    This is BlueFart at it's best!

      Wow, that is interesting. It's always good to see what those guys are up to.

      "wow gold" is another good one as the poster above suggested. I guess the keywords you see spammed all across blogs are generally the more competitive ones.

        LOL. Yes, trust me I know all about WOW Gold as well. I used to be addicted to WOW and had to see a therapist to stop playing.

        Just kidding about the therapist part, but it was basically like quitting smoking when I stopped playing. It was taking over my life so I decided to forget it.

        I also sold materials for gold within wow and a little bit for real $ on the side. Before it was easier, now ofcourse it's become "the thing" to do and there are thousands who get into WOW for the sole purpose of monetizing with real money.

      Maybe you were reading one of those "highest paying adsense keywords" lists...but there is WAY, WAY more to it.

      Read Highest Paying AdSense Keywords | www.1UP-SEO.com

      You really think that "Houston Mesothelioma Lawyer" or "fort worth dwi lawyer" will make a lot of money? The truth is: NO

      Because many of those lists dont show you the SEARCH VOLUME of those keywords but simply how much (allegedly) they pay.

      Problem: If only 2 people search for this on Google each month it doesn't have big use, doesn't it?

      Therefore "insurance" for example would be a far more profitable keyword since more people search for it, instead of keywords which pay "a fortune" but have null search volume

      The net is full with such lists, only very few show the really good keywords because they take search volume into account.

    Looks good to me. Viagra is definitely a very competitive term

    Maybe "Houston Mesothelioma Lawyer" won't, but the root will. Sure, insurance would be an adsense wish too. I'd take either.

    You really need to define your boundaries a little.

    Taking your question literally, without a doubt, the most competitive keyword would have to be google.

      Keyword research is the first and primary step in Seo or website promotion and still it is a mystery. How to judge which is the most competitive keyword on Google?
