Hey guys, brand new to these forums here. Just wondering if anyone can give some SEO feedback on my blog?? Please visit my profile to find the URL to my blog. Also i'm trying to optimize for "kansai gaidai blog". I've gotten some really good results so far on other combinations and targeted search terms but I can't seem to crack this one. More competition I guess... I float anywhere between half way up the first page down to half way down the 2nd page. So any ideas on how I can overcome my competitors on the said search terms, would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!! Jem EDIT: Optimizing for Google!
Getting search engine rankings mostly comes down to backlinks. So you should try to get more quality backlinks with your target keyword as the link anchor text. You basically need a stronger link profile than your competitors. Really, that may be a junk keyword. Google only shows about 46 people searching for that each month. So to get any traffic from that keyword you would need to get to the top 3. Even then you'd be lucky to get 30-40 hits from that keyword each month.
Hi vansterdam, Thank you for your reply! It is most appreciated! I feel backlinks are my weakness but also due to the nature of this niche, being student exchange blogs to a specific university, i would find it hard to ask for linking as there may be many people out there who arent interested in linking. And asking them add my specific keyword in their anchor text! However! I will try! It's what I need. Also I am under the impression that backlinks will also raise PR??? i'm a bit rusty on PR... If anyone has any other advice or reccommendations please let me know! all input is welcome and very much appreciated! Jace PS. reminder: site url can be found in my profile
