..all depends on the competition. if you have SEO aware competitors, then no. we launched this site (CPMIbiza) straight into #2, which it held for several weeks until it took the #1. launched 28th Jan, indexed 2nd Feb, blog post showing this here Its only one holding page until the full site is built, but they have the #1 all tucked up ready for their full site launch. There are several other sites who would like #1 in this search and a couple of established sites, but they're not actively trying or dont know what theyre doing. chances of doing that for "project management" - none whatsoever.
do you mean my post above? yes. clearly theres the screenshots, indexing posts and the search to try. and funny enough I was using this as an example on seo.com's forums as was launching it. thread and screenshots here its possible alright. if no-one else is trying.
It's going to be a tough task... It is possible to reach the first page in 3 days with 1,000 competitors but being #1 will be another issue...
and anyway it has nothing to do with the number of pages. it is how many other people are trying and how good they are. for example this search is only 400k (often 1.2million) but against pros.. search one search engine optimisation in ibiza this search is showing 7 million pages (often up to 149 million) Search two microsofts free websites search one is way more competitive than search two, first page is all seo companies .
why dont you tell us what search terms you want to rank for and we can then answer you with a straight yes or no
Well it does and you're wrong Competitive keywords produce more results, less competitive less results - it's quite simple and makes sense lol
Well, I guess it could be possible BUT it's pretty hard to do not unless you have just only few competitors.
well I admire your confidence, but try this one.. Buy Viagra - 21 million results. John Smith - 25 million results. which is more competitive?
I took the top number 1 and number 2 position for my primary keyword after 4-5 days that had 345,000 results and that was with nothing but basic seo. I would say it is easily possible. Will.
As for my analysis... John Smith is more competitive aside from having more search results... I've also checked that it has more daily searches than Buy Viagra on Google and other major SE's... The more people search for it, the more the competition gets tougher...
er.... competitive means how many people are trying to rank for it not how many times the word appears on the internet? are you seriously trying to tell me with all the high tech black hattery that goes on in the world of online viagra sales, that the John smith crew are competing for the top in a similar fashion? lolz. you'll go far. i think youre trolling. i dont know you do i?
Well, how will you know if the keywords you're ranking are competitive...??? You need to know what searchers are looking for... That's the reason why there are Keyword Tools such as WordTracker, Google Keyword Tool etc. that monitors searches made through major SE's at a given period of time... Through this people got their ideas on what KW's to foucs on or to rank... John Smith would not give a single effort competing with Viagra since they are in different category... Your two examples doesn't even have relation with each other... Hmmmm...
hahaha. ok guys im bowing out now.. y'all have fun edit just couldnt resist one more. SEO Services.. 3.8million. more or less competitive than John Smith @ 25 million ? theres more to life than wordtracker.
Acting kinda cocky... hmmmm.... Air.. Air.. Air.. Of course, SEO Services is more competitive than John Smith... Did I say that KW competitiveness depends on number of search results alone... It depends on how many people search for it in a given period of time... SEO Services has 1,400 searches daily and 1,000 of them are coming from Google... Compared to John Smith which has 740 daily search where 520 are coming from Google... There is more to life than Cockiness...
lol. yes indeed. but we are clearly talking about a different thing. because a high number of people searching for something does not necessarily make it a profitable activity. seo as with all business is driven by money, the best (and therefore the hardest to compete with) will be where the money is. because a lot of people may search for say, historical data on their families does not mean that there is a necessarily lot of money there, and hence there will not be any real competition. a far smaller search and ridiculously lucrative could be (for example) "diamond sales London" and it could have several heavyweight companies, cash rich barons hiring hi tech black hat seos in the fray. how you think that could be less competitive than John Smith at 100 times the size boggles my mind. this is basic economics. lastly at least half of those seo services searches are the SEO companies competing in them checking their own rankings
I think we're pointing out different aspect of "keyword competitiveness"... You got your point and I got mine... But its not just about money... Its also about giving the people what they're looking for... "keyword competitiveness" is not measured on the amount of money involve alone... There are other important factors to consider... Well anyways, nice exchange of thoughts...
