I'm looking at optimizing the keyword "Touch screen" for my company site. From what i see, it has nearly 61 Million Results... How many back links you think its going to take to start seeing results on this? I know about Onsite optimisation and link quality.. i'm just wondering what kind of volume i'm looking at having to generate. Regards,
If you don't rank currently for this keyword in any positition and your just contemplating ranking for this word now and your site is new. You will not get to that position within the next 6-12 months. It will take so long for you to rank for that keyword considering its very competable at the moment, I would do more keyword research in to better less competitive keywords.
The domain name is 13 years old next month, will that make any difference? We have had the current site build / link structure for the last 12 months.
A 13 year old domain will definitely make a difference but I still dont think its enough to go after that keyword just yet. You need to go after other related keywords perhaps longer terms including that keyword in the term.
There is no way to give you a set amount. It depends on matter factors. Try to find quality links that are from related sites and not just random links. Use that as much as possible in your content and bold those words. Also be sure to use that in your page titles. The more quality related back links you have, the better off you are and better chance you have. Check out who ranks first second and third for those keywords and check for their back links and get a comparison on what they have to achieve what you want.
Thats the best way of doing it my friend just because this way you will be able to focus on the number one keyword "touch screens" and start ranking for that but instead focus your attentions on other keywords.

What it is, my company spends alot on adwords every day. We sell thousands of different products. We get about 8000 Organic visitors a day and 9000 PPC visitors a day. We are in a competative market and i want to try build up our organic traffic so that we don't have to spend as much on adsense (Roughly £300 a day). I will definatly have a look at your blog, it looks like its worth bookmarking!
Wow it sounds like you have a bit of money to spend then. I was assuming you were considering doing your own SEO however if your spending £300 a day on PPC then you could hire someone to do some SEO on your website perhaps not for "touch screens" as that may be expensive however still ask around for quotes and see what they say, its worth a try.
Well i work for a medium sized buisness. I started in sales but my experience in website design and marketing brought me over to becoming head of marketing. When i first moved into the company, the MD was looking at several SEO companies but he would rather have a team of SEO in office as we are looking at expanding our online marketing. We have about 200 Seperate products on our site, and we advertise each one on AdWords (Our monthly Adwords bill is huge, but we make up for it 10 fold in sales) and i want to obviously start getting some of the big spenders (Touch Screen, MiniITX, Programable MicroControllers etc) drawing organic traffic rather than 100% PPC. The only problem is that our current site is being build and managed by a 3rd party, so i have litrally no access to source-codes or anything to be able to process any form of onsite SEO. (They could change it, but will charge a crazy amount for it) - I'm also looking to expand my department to have our own onsite developers. So long story short... i'm in a bit of a Pickle at the moment.
I see. So basically no matter what advice is given to you, you cannot do anything about it currently anyway because you cant access your site. Do you not even have details so you can use an FTP such as filezilla. It seems like you need to move your site to your own server or something. I can advise you with keyword research and SEO if needs be however it would be at a fee. However it seems you need to sort out your internal problems first. Will.
Well basically I'm tyring to work on external optimisation.. i know its not as effective as if i had internal op aswell but.. oh well.. Yes, we will be starting on developing the new site in house.. obviously this is going to be a long process, but it's somthing that would be needed. Would be good if you can PM your details Will, would be good for future refrence. And obviously, consultation charges are not a problem.
hard to say, depends where they are coming frrom, what kind of backlinks those pages have. Whether its a edu gov or a regular backlink. so can't really say you know.
