Hey! LISTEN UP! I'm going to show YOU my technique to rank first page on Google, Yahoo, Bing for a low competition keyword that receives 40,500 global monthly searches. Now some may say there's not worth in low competition keyword, but I think that depends on how much traffic the low competition keyword receives! In this case, WORTH IT! Now all opinions aside, here is what I did to rank first page on multiple search engines for term "X" which again, was a LOW COMPETITION KEYWORD, and received 40,500 global monthly searches (according to google adwords keyword tool; note that google adwords keyword tool is not exactly accurate; if you want accurate measures you can use google ads, bid for keywords, and count ad impressions yourself, im not hear to discuss the accuracy of this tools for those who will bring it up). How I ranked first for a low competition keyword(not necessarily the best way! i'm just sharing what I did; here are the FACTS; results may vary as I DONT OWN GOOGLE!). Steps To Rank #1 On Google 1) Find a keyword with Google Adwords Keyword tool. 2) Choose a low competition keyword terms related to a niche of interest. 3) Choose ONE low competition keyword, with 40,500 global monthly search or less. 4) Create a fresh new website. The url address of the website should be the LOW COMPETITION KEYWORD itself. At the least, include the low competition keyword in the url address. If the address is already taken, try another keyword or add some other words. 5) Keyword Optimized content(The whole idea is the have a site revolving solely around the topic of that low competition keyword, hence the explanation why your low competition keyword IS YOUR URL. ) Create optimized content with good distribution of keyword in your posts. 6) Join 100 RELEVANT NICHE forums. Once allowed, add a website link in your signature with your LOW COMPETITION KEYWORD AS ANCHOR TEXT! Not only you get anchor text keyword benefits, but relevant content backlinks from similar niche forums! Both good for SEO! This is how I found my page ranked #1 on Google for a search term that recieved 8,100 global monthly traffic, and ALSO on page 1 Of Google for a low competition keyword term of 40,500 global monthly traffic. Oh Yahoo I have gotten 6th place up to date and Bing somewhere on first page also. Google rankings have gotten lower recently but still at second page. It was for quite some time on first page of Google but the site is only 1 month old and is still probably under the "GOOGLE DANCE" if you know what I mean. Don't get me wrong, its still a solid position on first page to second page of Google! It hasn't gone lower than that! And I still rank first page on Yahoo and BING since this method! In my opinion, it should be easy now to rank #1 due to low competition keyword, keyword in url, anchor text keyword on relevant niche forums, and keyword optimized content! I would say these SEO techniques produce a much more forceful effect due to the keyword being low competition in the first place, you know what i'm saying?
yes, for low competition this makes sense. but i don't know if it's quite the same as ranking for that high competition keyword....
