Is this keyword attainable?

I've been ranked #1 for the keyword "Remington 870 Review" for several months now - I get some traffic from it, but nothing to write home about. GKT shows it as getting 4,400 searches per month, and based on my Webmaster Tools data, that's quite a bit more than it actually gets.

Out of curiosity, I checked my rank for the term "Remington 870" - I'm ranked #78. GKT shows it at 246,000 searches per month.

Now, obviously it has a much stronger first page - but I think I see opportunity in the #9 and #10 positions. SEO gurus - is it even realistic for me to get the first page for this keyword?

Also, I am aware of the fact that most people don't ID their sites or keywords in public. I disagree, and I don't mind.

    4400 is broad match and the exact match is actually 590 so yeah its normal if it shows less traffic in your webmaster tool.

    You can attain the keyword, the question really is how long will it take? I believe you could rank for that if you site is the Wordpress site ranked #1 for reviews. I just wonder how you are going about your SEO though. If you posted a 400+ word article on your blog twice a month and then spread it out for links along with some social network linking to each specific articles url, you would be able to hit that mark in a couple months it would seem.

    Yes, it is the #1 site for "Remington 870 Review" - we've been there for several months now. I would link it, but I don't want this thread to show up in search results.

    To this point, I've been forum posting mostly for SEO, with a few blog comments and profile links tossed in. On one article, I hired an outsourcer to help build links, but other than that, they're all high quality. I've also reached out to some webmasters in my niche and gotten my site listed on several category listings, which has been surprisingly helpful both from an SEO and from an referral standpoint.

    At any rate - thanks for the look. I think I'll spend some time linking the shorter term and see what happens.

      Yes you can get on page one of Google even for the keyword "Remington 870" if you really know SEO. The other option is to outsource this to an SEO freelancer. However the point is that it can be done

        All things are possible with enough time and money. I'm just wondering if it is feasible to do without focusing effort on it for a year.

    Looking at it. Sure you can.

    But why not spend your effort to grab these ones I saw right below the search results first?

    remington 870 price

    remington 870 express

    remington 870 tactical

    remington 870 wingmaster

    remington 870 sale

    remington 870 police

    remington 870 review

    I'm seeing alot of potential in these keywords and they are definitely WAY easier to rank than going for "remington 870"

    Just my 2 cents bro
