Made #1 on Google in 3 days for a 3000 search per month phrase.

While doing some keyword research, I found a phrase that gets about 3000 spm according to Keyword Discovery. When I did an "allintitle" search on google, there were no competing websites, zero. I've never seen this before for keywords that supposedly gets thousands of searches per month.

So I created a single page with some good content, and good on page SEO. I wrote one blog article about the topic and I submitted an Ezine article. Sure enough, I had the #1 spot on Google for this phrase in about 3 days time from creating the page. I guess it's not surprising since there wasn't any competition.

I repeated the process for another variation of that keyword phrase and got the number one spot with that page too. The keyword phrase for that page gets around 2000 searches per month. It's only been a few days, but I've got 2 decent little pages with some adsense and affiliate products that will probably make a few bucks a month.

The point of this story is that with good keyword research, you can get pages to the top spot in Google, Quickly! Find keywords that have search results in the hundreds per month (that's not a lot really), but don't have much or any competition. There's lots of them out there, you just have to put on your thinking cap to find them. If you create some simple landing pages for these keywords, with good content, you should be able to get in the top 5 on Google, if the competition is minimal. Continue your research and make 20,30,60 or more pages like this for good keywords you find, and you'll have steady money each day from these pages.

 

Hey good job Christian !

Keyword research is always at the start of a niche website. Do you create each landing page on their own domain (same topic or not) since there are not very much competition or do you think you will build 20, 30, 60 pages and register 20, 30 , 60 domains.

Track your results and tell us how these pages are doing. I was planning to do some more PPC but maybe this could save some extra bucks.

 

Nice post christian231. I've done that for a while now and it really works. I always time myself and aim for the top 5 in 5 days. You do that across a site that has 100 seperate pages of content focused on keywords that get say 1000 searches a month, that 100,000 searches a month going to your site! Whats easier? 100 keywords generating 100,000 searches a month or 1 keyword generating 100,000 searches a month.

Keep up the good work!

 

what is allinttile search?

 

Wow! Congratulations!

 

It's a search operator you can use in Google to find the pages that include all the keywords in their page title. Here is the official Google definition :

"allintitle: If you start a query with [allintitle:], Google will restrict the results to those with all of the query words in the title. For instance, [allintitle: google search] will return only documents that have both "google" and "search" in the title. "

Look at this page to see all the operators you can use : http://www.google.com/help/operators.html

*Looks like InFlames got it faster!

 

Thanks...I'm a volume guy. I like to diversify and have a bunch of little pages or sites making money, instead of all my eggs in one basket. It's easier to rank and if one page gets knocked off the top spot, you still have other pages making money while you work on getting that page back to the top. If I could get 75 to 100 pages like this, each making a few bucks a day, that would be ideal. I actually like creating pages on existing sites for these targeted phrase pages. I've had better luck getting them ranked well when it's a page on an established domain name, rather than registering a new domain.

DharmaSEO...a Google "allintitle" search will show you the websites that have that entire keyword phrase in their site title. Type this in google to see the competition for the phrase you want.. allintitle:"your keywords here". I always use this as a fairly true representation of the competition I'm against. If it's more than a couple thousand, most of the time I don't mess with it.

 

Out of curiosity what tool did you use to check how many searches per month there are for that keyword? Is it a product that you had to pay for?

 

yes, that would also interest me. what kind of keyword tool do you use?

thanks

 

thanks, great idea, rep added.

 

Use this http://www.keyworddiscovery.com/search.html

Honestly, I don't know how accurate it is, but it's the tool that has been recommended the most, so it's what I use. Always check the allintitle competition by using the methods described above. I like to find phrases with a keyword search to competition ratio of 3/1 or more. Meaning if you find a phrase that has 1000 searches, but only 300 competing websites, you've got a really good chance of ranking well with minimal effort as long as your on page SEO is decent.

 

Does the Trellian tool (Keyword Discovery) use the Yahoo / Overture keyword results ? I too am interested in the scoring methodology for the Trellian keyword tool...

Anyone here a paying subscriber ?

are there any free tools to research how many times a keyword is searched for on google?

 

There's a tool in Google Adwords.

 

This is great food for thought christian231, Thanks..
I have heard that Google likes keywords in URL's for SEO.
So maybe using the allinurl:"your keywords here" search would be another way of finding out what your competition is?

Cheers

are you actually receiving any traffic from this keyword phrase? how many hits did you get from it today?

I ran some searches and compared them to the google results using the methods you described and found a problem. Take for example the keyword phrase "nextel phones only".

Keyword Discovery reports 4,176 searches a month. An allintitle search only shows 65 results. This should be a gold mine right? Well not exactly, the same keyword phrase on wordtracker and google's keyword tool shows 0 results.

Just a word of warning to people, before you get excited and spend a bunch of time and money chasing a keyword phrase with no competition, make sure that people are actually searching for it.

Not trying to be negative here or anything and I hope that your new keyword phrase is making you a killing, just wanted to warn against the potential danger of using Keyword Discovery as your only keyword tool.

 

soooooo....what's the keyword?

 

I made the same experience like pcarlow! I don't really understand those keyword tools
always showing you contradictory results. Btw, aren't those results on keyword discovery
per day?

 

Thanks for this. I think I will try this. I have been working on improving google ranking for my site. I have a good site, i just need to get people to see it. Thanks for the post.
