How To Target 20 Keywords In a Single SEO Campaign Within 6 Months? - PLEASE HELP!

Hi fellow warriors!

I need some advice, so here it goes...

I have built a brand new website in the corporate training niche and have set everything up for my SEO campaign (content, on-page SEO etc.). Throughout my site which is primarily based on providing training courses, I have about 20 keywords I want to rank for. All 20 keywords have mix of competitiveness; 5 low, 10 medium, 5 high competition keywords. The thing is I want to get 1st page rankings for at least 15 of these keywords, the low and medium competitive terms, in 6 months.

Here is the question I want to ask: Do I start my campaign going after all 20 keywords (low, medium, high competition) at once or is it advisable to start targeting the low competitive terms first? And, how many keywords at once?

To me, it makes sense to go after the low competitive terms first and thus to get some quick wins. On the other side, wouldn't it also makes sense to start targeting more competitive terms first as well, because they will take longer to get rankings for? For example, my high competitive phrases are actually my 'theme' keywords, the industry I work in revolves around; 'corporate training', 'management training', 'leadership skills training' etc. Or should I totally disregard going after these keywords in the beginning?

See, I need to get this website ranked within 6 months. So, I wonder what is best to get the most effective results? Could you please advise in how I should structure my link building campaign if my time frame is 6 months?

Thanks! Any advice, tips and help is much appreciated!!!

Cheers,

Greg

    One way to target multiple keywords at once without overblowing the amount of backlinks to your site... is to backlink your backlinks .

    However, web2.0s (wordpress,blogger,livejournal) take probably TONS of backlinks a day... people abuse them.

    Not sure if your domain has that much authority to withstand such a surge of BLS and not get slapped .

  • If you have the money go for them all

    if not go for what you will think give you the best conversion of sales.

    Your high competition keywords are going to take some hard work if they are the ones you are targeting. As i said previously, if you have the money you better start trying to rank for them asap.

    Basically it all boils down to how much money you can spend on this campaign

    Hi guys,

    The domain has no authority at all. I thinking of investing $400 a months (so for 6 months = $2400 in total).

    Is this possible with this budget? Please advise.

      $400 isnt going to get you ranked #1 for 20 keywords, unless some of them are very low competition.

      $400 / 20 keywords = $20 per month per keyword.

      As you can see your budget is too low to rank for every keyword. I would try ranking for your low/med keywords first. $400 isn't going to get you ranked for those high competition keywords.

        Thanks. I understand.

        How come I often see SEO companies that offer packages that target 15-20 keywords and only cost $300-$400 a month and even offer 1st page rankings?

        Sorry, if I am a bit ignorant with this, I just like to know how they do it?
        In my case, yes I could possibly hire such company, but I want to do it myelf.

        Thanks.

    Look at these companies for example:

    25 keywords for $490/month!
    reloadmedia(dot)com(dot)au/search-optimisation/search-engine-optimisation-services(dot)php

    This one here is slightly more expensive:

    Surely it depends on the keywords you are targeting ? I don't think any company can guarantee a first page ranking for all keywords right ?

      I agree with this one.

    I think you need to check 10 your keywords( 5 low, 5 high competitive) and choose 2 lowest competitive keywords of this group. As my understand, the high competitive will have more searches, it may be have more money( my guest).
    Now, instead of do 20 campaign, you will do 2 campaign, you will be easy win 2 of them, after that use what you learn from these campaign and mass attack to others keyword.
