Hi guys, Is there any set of activities which can help me judge how difficult or easy for me to rank my site in top page in google ? What all parameters affect this ?
Can you specify or explain clearly what you talking about so that we can share what must be the good advice or we can about that..
I suppose he is asking about the competition that is their in a particular keyword search for the term in google and see the number of websites being thrown up That is the competition you have, but in certain niches with lesser competition it is difficult to rank, that is due to the large number of authority sites in the top 100, an example is "aviation" niche
..to be honest there is no other way than digging into a given query space and assessing the competitors one by one... each term will have a different level of competitiveness and thus unique.... Among the areas to look at for each site is the link profile, onsite SEO readiness, domain information (age, change frequency) and so forth to get an idea of what it will take to beat them... And this really comes down to the KW research process... A fast and dirty way to guage things is via modifyers such as; (using 'Florida Vacation' as an example) Straight search - 2 990 000 Quotations - 2 740 000 allintitle - 801 000 Allinurl - 293 000 Then run the same thing of related terms such as 'Florida Vacations' and so forth.... You should also check the PPC rates for the potential target terms... this will also help add to the ultimate data set for making decisions... There are a ton of Free Tools online to play with for KW research - I keeps an up-to-date list of search marketing tools - plenty to play with. ... some reading on KW research; KW research and selection (PDF) Keyword and phrase research WordTracker KW research guide The better your research, the better the campaign.
