    thanks for the replies guys.

    ok here is another question; do you think "laptops" would have higher conversion rate or "cheap laptops" or "buy laptops" etc?
    Any idea from your experiences?

    If your site is new, focus on the long tail keywords:

    Use the Google-Adwords-Keyword-Tool & search for long-tail keywords

    It will take a lot of time effort to rank your site on this keyword. Better to concentrate on other keywords.

    The keyword "Laptops" is extremely competitive......Maybe you can add some supporting keywords and also choose keywords with less number of competitors.

    the keyword is just too competitive. It'd be wise to target long-tail keywords. Although you may not rank well on the laptop keyword, you'll get a better chance of ranking for keywords like "multicore gaming laptop" "gaming laptops in san francisco" or something more descriptive. Use google adwords to look for good long-tail keywords with a decent-enough competition and a high monthly search.

    your keyword is too compititive.i think it will take at least 6 month to rank up your site and do all seo on page and off page strategy on your site.if you add other words like 'best laptops' or other some long keyword following your main keyword then it increase the chances to rank up your site.

    It seems impossible if you wan to get fast results but for long term with heavy SEO budget it is possible. To get quick results in the same market just try to work on long tail keywords related to ''laptops''. Hope that will help you, have a nice day..

    Even those keywords are out of reach for all but those with the deepest pockets.

    Your best bet it to try 3 word combinations, like 'Buy Cheap HP laptops' or 'Buy discount laptops'

    Again, use the 'intitle' command on Google, and the google external keyword tool to guage compeition.
