How major? How many Y! hits for your targeted search phrase? More than 100 million?

Congrats, Winagain :)
I'm running out of ideas with yahoo, share a tip :p

[jcambert]

That's beautiful. Congrats.

16,700,000 to be exact. Not bad for me, I am already getting new clients for this phrase ;)

Just the basics: write articles and submit (I use isnare and articlemarketer), submit to directories and post, post, post to DP forum.

The thing here is to be constant. If you think you got the keyword made, think again. There are thousands of competitors and you have to keep up the work all the time or they will take away your positions.

Congrats, Winagain.. ;)
Care to share some tips.. :)
How much did you spend on promoting your site?
Thanks

16,700,000 to be exact...
A very respectable number.

My greatest achievement in Y! so far is the #2 position out of about 101 million results for a very competitive, 2 word phrase. I'm quite pleased with the #2 spot; #1 would be nice, but as long as my site is above the fold on a typical computer monitor -- i.e. the top 5 spots -- it's all good, IMO.

Congratulation. Are you in the Yahoo! directory? I heard that it is a important part of ranking high in Yahoo.

[logiik]

That's good to hear :) Keep it up!

That's good to hear :) Keep it up!


yes it is...

[JackR]

Good news ... but wait until you realise that Yahoo sends very little traffic.

I discovered this after taking the top spot for several keywords (see my Sig for two examples! :) ).

...wait until you realise that Yahoo sends very little traffic...
Y!' may send less volume than G, but Y! traffic converts better, in my experience. Even MSN traffic converts better than G (for me, anyway.)

[seoindia]

can you reveal us which mayor search term is it?

Not necessarily. Many sites rank well in Yahoo! without being in the directory. Also, look where in the directory you are going to be. If you know you are going to be placed in an established, good PR page, that's fine...but if it is a PR0, is it really worth it? Yahoo! does not give any preference to directory sites. If it did, ranks would be skewed. Also, remember you are competing with Search Submit sites which appear in the non sponsored results. These sites have their content refreshed more frequently and pay Yahoo! when clicks are generated...

I am interested to see what you consider a major search term. How did you determine it is a major search term?

[smartgirl]

Hey Winagain , did you publish the articles first on your site and then distribute them or did you use them for distribution purposes only?

[skionxb]

Nice job bro! I will tell them the secret your keyword "Web hosting Mexico"

Goodluck! By the way did you use positiontech or yahoo search marketing?

Thanks

[Winagain]

Skionxb,
yes, it's "web hosting mexico". third at yahoo.com and first at yahoo.com.mx (my main market).

I am not using any SEO companies at the moment, since I've done a better job with my own site that the service I got from other providers

[Winagain]

well, the term "web hosting mexico" is over 16 million results. Something like that is a major term for me.

It produces about 50 unique visits a day. Guess I still have some work to do ;)

[smartgirl]

In order to find the competitiveness of a kw , search that keyphrase with quotes.The results are the sites that optimize for that exact keyphrase; this should give you a hint on that keyphrase popularity. Looking at your keyphrase i see there are 32,100 competing sites (not a hard competition).Either way, congratulations and looking forword to see you ranking well for "web hosting" ;) !

That's a decent term and being as targeted as it is targeted to your market, the 50 uniques will have a better chance of conversion. Good work.

My thoughts exactly.
for example I am first for at all search engines for "alojate" (roughly host here, in spanish), but I don't receive any traffic for that, since is more than a word game than a real term.

many clients reaching my site with "web hosting mexico" term are sending emails inquiring quotes and description of services. Very good for business.

I am also starting to get traffic for other competitive terms, and I must say that I am very full of myself! :p

[Web Gazelle]

Good work. You are adding support to my theory that more targeted search terms can sometimes be more valuable.

Of course, for my case, it's better I receive only visitors from my zone.
altough I am looking for other markets too ;)
