Hi, If you plan on buying a long tail keyphrase domain and building it out into a site... What's considered a low search engine results number, where one could relatively easily rank in the top 3 results for? For example, the term, "cute yellow dogs", w/o the quotes, in Google has 318,000 results. If you own cuteyellowdogs.com, and your internal site is optimized for your keyphrase...can one relatively easily rank in the top 3? Or is that search results number way too large to compete?
I agreed with u that a lot of my sites have the keywords in the url and it easily out ranked older sites with more links to them.
I suspect that the reason it works is because so many sites link to the domain using the domain name (which contains the keywords). The age of the domain is also a factor.
Don't judge the competition by google search results, you have to go and look at how many links the top3 sites have, the more links the stronger the competition.
Well Yes domain name does benefits, no doubt And your strategy of ranking for low competitive keywords is also correct I like it , you are doing a due diligence check before setting up the business or website, it will help, good going
While search numbers can give you a good idea about how competitive a sector is, it would be more helpful to look closely at the SEO factors/ authority of your competition - the top 3 websites. Are the sites up there well optimised for the set of keywords you're targeting? Do they have many, quality backlinks? etc. This will give you a good guide as to how hard it will be to join/ beat them. Having the keywords in the domain name will help no end in the more specific keyword markets!
