i finally made #1 ranking in yahoo for a big keyword. I'm 1 out of 21,600,000. All the work might be paying off. I'm also #7 for another big keyword. Now hopefully google starts to recognize my site and ranks me for these same keywords
Google doesn't rank you on anything based on other search engine results. You need to make sure you have a high Pagerank and that you have a good enough high-keyword density.
What you need to rank high on Google for specific keywords is anchor text using that keyword placed on your sites and other peoples.
Other than basic onsite facts ,the above post is right. KWD plays little or no role in your ranking. Google is a simple factor of inbound links. The more and better ones you have the better you will rank.
I am number 1 for a huge keyword now. Thats #1 out of 152,000,000. WABOOYAH! Plenty of overture ads for this term too. Overture ads all the way through the first 8 pages of results. Insane!
If you are no.20 for anything then you might as well be no. 1,000,000 it does not help in traffic, first page or don't bother
Results 1 - 10 of about 5,630,000 on Google and I'm ranked #6 for my keyword. It drives a fairly large portion of my traffic.
You are mostly right on this but I think it also depends on what you are searching for. Sometimes, I'll go till the 5th page if the term doesn't produce enough quality results.
I agree, but it would have to be for a very specific keyword term that I go that far into search results. 9 times out of 10 I will just look on the first page.
they're still tunning this algo. I'm #1 in 27 out of the 32 yahoo sites. (31 international and main) so i'm guessing that either these are updated with the algo (because they show my current cached page) while the main yahoo site has me #3 and the page it has listed for my site is OLD.... so we'll see how things turn out.
My #6 dropped to #19. For my keyword in the top 10 results there are 2 dictionary definitions (answers.com and m-w.com)... Edit to add: And those dictionary defs have never been there before.
Sweet! The same site is #1 out of 47,500,000 for another KW and #1 out of 8,330,000 for a third term. All of which have lots of overture ads. Yahoo! is my best friend!
