    The number 4 website for that search term has over 200,000 pages indexed and has over 200,000 backlinks.

    Very touch term to crack.

    Long, long term project. Maybe pick some other related term.

    "programming forum" - search that in Google, the websites that will listed or presented are your competitors. Check the backlinks of the top websites listed, check the PR, visit the websites, browse the pages or contents, this way you will have an idea how stiff the competition is and will help you plan in your SEO strategy.

    Remember your competitors are also doing SEO, so put more effort to increase your chances in landing at the top results.

    Usually you have to invest a lot of money in niches like this. But to start, I suggest something like what blogger2006 said: go on the first websites and analyze where they built they backlinks and try to make the same with the good quality link pages.

    And good work (you will need!).

    By using keyword research tool you can find the competition for your keyword phrase. In this case it seems you have lot of competition for the keyword phrase 'programming forums'. You will need to do some hard work in the form of quality contented forum posts and backlinks in order to reach front page on google.

    True.. For you to be able to get on top of Google, you need to work hard in building your keywords, also for you to have site visibility.

    It would take you so many years to outrank those websites listed in the first page :) Better start your optimization with long-tailed keywords.

    Yeah, as copymoves rightly said, instead of wasting time on a high competition keyword, spend time on another 10 or 20 long tail keywords with decent search volume.

    Don't underestimate the value of such keywords. All such easy to rank keywords can bring in more traffic than a single highly competitive keyword, for which you will take years to rank.

    You need a ton of content and a ton of links. That is a challenge.
