    just write good quality content about weight loss. you can try to use a couple keywords in each of your blog posts, but don't over do it. you don't want it to sound like you are just trying to jam a bunch of keywords in there. Just write naturally, and make it good quality articles, and search engines will find that to be higher quality than just focusing on keywords. If your blog has a good amount of content, and has something interesting, well written, and informative to say, it will start to show up in searches.

    It's very very hard to get a good ranking in weight loss niche, everybody seems to have a weight loss blog and i'm one of them. I would pick another one if i were you.

    Look your competitors sites, especially the age of their domains...This one is very advantage in the competition not only the highly competitive keywords...

    Yes i know it is very hard to get good ranking in the weight loss niche but i am planning to go for a long term basis. Like i want to register my site for at least for 3 years and try to write at least 2 article per day. What you think guys? i need your advice before going to build a blog. The reason behind going to jump on this niche is there is lot to be make out of it and many webmasters left money on the table. What you think of my planning? Is there any expert out here to give some tips?

    It's hard but nothing is impossible in the long run. You should carefully choose your keywords.

    Use tools like:
    https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal
    http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com/
    http://tools.seobook.com/keyword-tools/seobook/

    Then get a brandable name (in the short term keyword rich domain will do better in SERP).
    Finding a domain in the weight loss niche might take some time but http://www.bustaname.com/ will help ;)
    You should consider buying an old domain too (if you're not on a tight budget).

    Once you have the domain and a decent hosting, start publishing original content. The more the better.
    Building / Buying links from quality sites is a must in such a competitive niche too.

    Be patient, results won't come over night :) Good luck!

    Thanks for your advice Zexy, One thing i want to ask you or some body else who can give a good suggestion. If i found a keyword in the weight loss niche and built a site like rapidweightloss.com. My question is i have to use only rapid weight loss key phrase in the title or can i just use some big competition key phrase like weight loss tip,weight loss diet pills. while writing content for my site? Please give me some tips on only this questions.

    You can use several relevant keywords and phrases in your articles, you don't have to use the same ones as in your domain name. It works best if your domain name includes your main keyword and then you can go more in depth by writing keyword rich articles relevant to your blog domain.
