Good on-page optimisation can be all that is necessary for many low competition keywords.

A lot of the time, your competition for those keywords won't be building any back links for them anyway, so strong on-page optimisation can be all that it takes to rank well.

Just make sure that the content on your website is unique; and if possible, interesting to read. Now you just need to make sure the keyword is mentioned within that content.

Remember that the google spiders read from top to bottom, so including the keyword further up the page generally has more benefit.

Hope this helped

thank you so much for info do you have any strategy for offsite back-linking if it is must situation

To make linkbuilding, use article directory submission and press release. This two are best to rank your site keyword fast. Dont use software, Do submission by hand. You will find your site ranking improvement fast.

thanks i will try any other strategy by anyone else who is experienced

It is is really low competition then good on page SEO will usually work. Follow danblinman advice. Unique content is really key.

Guest posts, relevant comments, emailing webmasters for link exchanges do it all very well, although they are pretty time consuming. Social signals also do well nowadays as well as commenting on high PR pages with a low number of outbound links.

Most important though is to diversify so don't forget the low quality links, you need those as well but obvious don't start to buy services where you get 1000's of the same links, those DO hurt your site.

There are many SEO techniques you can find in this forum. Just remember to do them manually and avoid using any other software. It will only hurt your sites in the future.

I often find I don't need to do much to rank low comp keywords. I've written a ranking strategy in my free ebook if you're interested.

how much competition does it have?

On site optimization
target local market
article submission
blog comments

This is the way I am doing it and I'm currently testing the return on this method so use it at your own risk. I'm trying to keep it fairly white hat because my site is worth a lot to me while it's ranking in Google and I want it to be fully scalable and not end up with loads of dodgy links going directly to my main site.

Step 1 - Create page on my site with the exact keyword as the title so the URL and page title becomes the exact keyword (I get my article writer to do this).

Step 2 - I have accounts with 19 web 2.0 sites like wordpress.com, blogger.com etc so for a new keyword we will create an article on the topic around 450 words relatively good quality and post it to one of these sites. It will link back with anchor text to the page on my site above. Make this article relatively good quality. (I am doing this for a lot of keywords so these articles are actually containing 2 links for 2 different keywords). Keep a note of the published address of the article you create.

Optional step I use backlinks indexer to index all of my backlinks so if you are using this or any other backlinks indexing tool you can add the URL from above to it.

Step 3 - Write another article around 450 words with spin syntax and make sure the articles contains a contextual keyword link to the URL above. Vary the keyword slightly with spin syntax if you can. Spin the article out so we have 2 spun versions of the article as well as the original article with spin syntax.

Step 4 - I have a manual article list that we add the 2 spun articles to. I would consider this an optional step as well you'll learn what has to be done to get your ranking, anything manual that isn't necessary should be removed.

Step 5 - Use article marketing robot to push the article with spin syntax out to article directories.

Step 6 - I also complete 5 linkvana comments for each keyword using the keyword chosen and the URL of the web 2.0 article from above. You can do blog commenting in many ways not just using linkvana and linkvana is a paid product (not cheap) and it will be targeted by Google at some stage if it hasn't been already (see this post) but I'm still using it for now.

Every month check the rank of the keyword and repeat until you are ranking then stop until you are not ranking (the theory being you don't need to keep doing this for a low competition keyword).

There are a lot of other approaches including fully automated ones. I've tried to do this in a way that I can scale and have my team do the whole thing for hundreds of keywords without ending up with thousands of dodgy links back to my site.

Hope that helps.

For low competition keywords, only Proper and strong on page components will help you big time. If you decide to still boost your links via off page, then you will be an industry gorilla in no time. Try adding at least one competitive keyword too

You can apply link magnet. I think it is really effective.

I agree with danblinman

If it is really low competition, onpage optimization is enough from my experience...

For low competition keyword with high traffic, its not too difficult to gain optimum level. Employ white hat SEO, do not go for black or gray hat SEO. Do proper on site optimization by creating relevancy among title, domain and unique quality content. For off site optimization article writing and generation of quality backlinks means baclinks from relevant sites having much more importance. So, what matters to google is relevancy and quality.

Why would you target low competition keyword? 99% of the low competition keywords would have less searches. So even if your website gets on top, you wont see much flow in the traffic. Target medium competition keywords that best suits your website with high search volumes instead. That will benefit you more.
