Go look at a more competitive keyword - web design. All of the websites are optimized for the keyword 'web design' but you say that "I can guarantee you if i go and optimize this site for 'world's biggest dog poop' then i would lose the ranking" which is absurd. Looking at keyword with low competition is useless. You can see that "biggest human" is useless research since if you search Google for intitle:"biggest human" there is only 152 competitors...not nearly enough for us to see the full effect of good SEO (having the keywords in the title, at least). You said that having the keywords in the URL is spammy which is also absurd. Having the keywords in the URL obviously doesn't play a huge role in SEO but it doesn't have negative effects. I would prefer if you could prove the negative effects than I prove there is no negative effects. Although if you would like proof that keyworded URLs dont have negative effects you can read the SEO case study in my signature. I am optimizing for 'Naruto Wallpaper' with the domain www.NarutoWallpaper.biz and it ranks fine after 6 weeks of being live.
Okay - I will give you several examples and a couple of them are new blogs. DailySportsTalk.com - on first page EverythingAboutHurricanes.com - #1 EverythingAboutTattoos.com #1 TheInternetMarketingSecrets.com #3 I may even entertain selling these! Gregg
Wow, I am new here and enjoyed this post. It's always fun to read a little conterversy What I took away from this discussion is. Do the SEO as you have always done, but always have tons good content CONTENT is the biggest key. Thanks
Not exactly. Good content is great in the long term as it helps to build natural backlinks to the page but in the short term the <title> tag is the most important as you can rank highly with crap content but good <title>. Obviously you need good content if the keyword is highly competitive since ranking for highly competitive terms absolutely REQUIRES good backlinks but to rank for low competition keywords on-page SEO is sufficient.
