Ok now this is not bull crap and it is very easy to do for your long tail high converting keywords. Ok this is how I have done it for one of my ecommerce sites. Ok you've got hubpages.com, Ezinearticles.com, Thisnext.com, Squidoo, usfreeads.com, Kaboodle just to name a few. I would target my long tail keywords and obviously place them in the title, text etc.. Then to help keep them out of supplemental...(I know the supp tag is gone) I would then link to them throughout the pages I just made and anywhere else I could get a decent link. So if I wrote an article in Ezinearticles targeting a long tail keyword then I would go to hupages target the same keyword and link to the article, then Usfreeads and link to the hubpage and so on. Doing this has allowed me to ride off these sites trust and authority...because for many keywords I dominate my niche 6 or more times in the top ten so their is know way that if someone types in these keywords that they wont see me.
My site as well will show up because I will link to my site from the pages, articles etc that I just made. And it is very common for my site plus the pages, articles etc to show up everywhere in the first 3 pages. Some even 8 times out of top ten.
That's the way to work it. I do it all the time. I like the sig but they still call me "monkeys ass" and I raked in 6 figures in 5 months
Hmmm....I don't know about that. I have did this for some pretty comp keywords. It's worth a try anyway you got to test your limits with it. I mainly target long tail 3 keywords or more and I show up pretty easily and the thing is it brings in lots of traffic to my site....For free. And you know what the keywords I target lots of people are always using adsense for the KW's...It's an free alternative to adsense.
What do you mean as competitive? As means of number of pages indexed...because if you are going by pages indexed for that keyword does not necessarily mean its competitive. Also how do you know this? Have you done this? I have been doing this for quite some time and believe me I have seen and had some very competitive keywords show up in Google in the top ten many times. Also who wants to have top rankings for a broad keyword anyway that gets visitors but doesn't convert worth a crap. Long tail keywords in my opinion and by means of my statistics convert a lot better than broad keywords because they are more specific and the person knows what they want. Example Mens Jeans very competitive mostly browsers not buyers Example Tommy Hilfiger size 32 mens jeans less competitive and converts like crazy. If you do this with all of your long tail keywords you'll get more buyers not browsers.
A keyword is made competitive by the number of sites competiting and optimizing for the keyword. Competitive keywords can bring some good traffic and conversions depending on what industry you are in. Any traffic is good and with enough longtails you can make some money. I have this happening "6,7 and even 8 times out of top ten in Google" for less competitive terms. So this is a very good tactic. You basically push the competition out and you own that keyword. For competitive terms, it just will not work. For instance, a competitive term that I am optimizing for I just did a digg and it is hitting #150. The searchterm is $4.00 a click with high "Advertiser Competition" based on google keyword tool.
Yep.. That's pretty much how SEO works lol The problem for most people is they only concentrate on one maybe two sites. They don't have the time or ideas to build multiple sites in the same niche. However, if you just open your mind and brainstorm a little bit harder, this method is a sure way to accomplish High PR. Especially if you can get at least two sites with unique yet with same topics! It's easy, I'm only 20 years young and have implemented all these ideas learned from DP and common sense of things learned since my childhood. While some kids did extra curricular, I made websites for fun! I only wish I was a little older so I could of jumped on this boat while the internet was little more fresh! The point is, just dedicate yourself & think hard. Create something that people are going to want. What's worked for me has been not only giving people what they want, but making it easy for them to do and being honest. As ton's of you have said and told me, a Great Idea doesn't need SEO that bad; the visitors will find you themselves. SEO just helps kick start it. Goodluck,
The "6,7 and even 8 times out of top ten in Google" tends to wear out after a few weeks. So it will take constant effort. It will be really hard if you have a offline Business to run to concentrate on more than a few sites. It will take a marketing budget or time to promote and market the sites.
Just so you know I know what competitive is...Just because you have advertisers, shitloads of indexed pages does not mean it is competitive..This is where most people get a big misconception on what competitive is. They see lots of advertisers, lots of indexed pages and automatically assume its competitive.
I've read the blog and agree with you that this is a great way to get "free traffic". However, this will not work for 'competitive keywords' and the 'buzz' tends to wear out after a few weeks.
