ok so ive read many places to submit at least 10 articles a day targeting 10 different phrases for your product. The problem is some of the phrases for my product when I do a search on google with say "dog chains" turns up like 80,000 competetiors...I cannot compete with this right? I mean, should I look for phrases with say under 7000 competetiors or if I get out say 100 articles per every 14 days would that be better? Im very confused on this situation, if any bum marketers could help me out I would be very grateful. Thanks
Find longer phrases and target more specific areas. For example, if you use "dog collars", what type of dog collars do you sell. Leather ones with buckles and holes, leather ones with plastic clips, diamond-studded, choker styles, collars with muzzles and the list goes on. Niches within the target will still be big and probably bring you more targetted traffic. As to how many articles, you need to write, I am sorry, I have no clue.
When you are looking at the competitors don't be frightened by the numbers. Most of those are not domains targeting the phrase. I think if you register a dog-chains.com style domain and seo it well, you should easily be able to reach the top. The question is: Do you want to? According to the overture tool, dog chains gets 754 searches a month. That's over 25 searches a day. Considering that not all people click the top result, you might get what? 20 uniques a day if you rank on the top for that? That's nothing. Dog shock collar, however, gets over 4000 a month, which is 133 searches a day. It is still easy to rank for, as no one has a domain focused on dog shock collars. Play around with overture tool and google search to find related keywords that are easy and get a healthy quantity of searches.
Writing 10 articles per day is exhausting. A lot of work goes into that and it can become too much at times especially when you do not get the results you are expecting. It would be better to write 10 articles every 10 days and submit 1 per day. The aim is to get traffic to your site daily so if you publish 10 quality articles you will get better conversion which will be worth the effort, rather than just submitting articles for the sake of it.
I'm currently ranking 6th out of 6,660,000 results for one search term and even that isn't enougth. I'm trying to target a keyword with 551,000,000 results at the moment so it could take awhile. Will be worth it though. I don't think your have any problems with a competition of 80,000
