How much is this accomplishment worth

    Becoming number one on Google for a term that has allinanchor: 500 million results? I think it yields around 1-2k visitors each day. To get an idea "porn" has 287 million results for allinanchor...is this an accurate way to check for competition.

    It is a search operator, all it is doing is ranking sites in order of anchor text. Remember, anchor is not the only factor in search engine results.

    I wouldn't say it's worth much...

    Depends how many searches your keyword/phrase gets doesn't it :)

    You could have one that has 1bn results but only 3 actual searches a day.

    I remember targetting a keyword that had around 30mil results but once I hit number 1... Traffic was still pretty much the same :(

    You learn though eh!

    Good luck.

    its how many people are using the same anchor text as you for that phrase... allinanchor: "porn" would get way more than allinanchor: "rare pigmy porn"

    the real question is why do you want to know?
    are you looking to sell the site?
    sell advertising on it?
    get a value of your seo skills?
    tell us the term or your site and we can quickly evaluate for you.
    but it may be as characterplanet said your comparing yourself using a generic term but that includes in the 2 million sites that have "rare pigmy porn" which uses a generic term "porn" in it but when you boil it down next to nobody searches for that term......unless they are into pigmys :)

    it is a good accomplishment, but what matters is that you can maintain that position and not lose it
