I use overture and I found a keyword(I keep the keyword as a secret since I don't want anybody to steal it) today that was searched 42k times everymonth. I did a google search for it and the first ranked site for this had PR2 but the title or url wasn't even related. I am very happy now and hopes that my new blogspot site will be ranked within 24 hours
It's a secret just like yours is You will have to update back and let us know if you managed to get some nice amounts of visitors today or tomorrow
the keyword i have gets 207654 searches a month, the niche it targets is pretty old now but easy to compete against, i would tell you what it is but you might start stealing some of my money I also have another site that targets a 47402 searches a month keyword, and even though its a new site, so is the niche so google classes it as non competitive and i have avoided the sandbox for this keyword
i just stumbled upon a keyword has about 1000 searches per day, and about 700 sites competing for that term. the best part about it is that it is a high priced item, with an affiliate program. and since i put up my site about a week and a half ago my conversion rate on 80 unique visitors is about 5%, and i've already banked $400.
I have found some great terms. Very easy to rank for aswell. A few of the recent ones. 1.2 million searches per month, 800,000 competing. 1.9 million searches per month, 200,000 competing. They are my recent ones. And performing very well. Its just a matter of using the right tools and a little thinking Brad
a bit of luck does help, you might not really know how good a keyword is untill you try it, some you get lucky with, some you dont.
I have to say that I'm dissapointed. The blogspot site havn't even been ranked in either google, msn or yahoo despite that I have made a couple of links(not to much so I wont be dropped in da sandbox) today and yesterday
So you have a site which is a few days old, is optimised for a keyword which is searched for 42,000 times every month and you currently have "a couple of links".... your not ranked in google yet??? that is truley hard to understand!
Well keep on doing the work you know... fresh content... as content is still the "KING" and build the links with anchor text! Take care Manish
I build all kinds of links some with anchor text some without. Google may think that all the links are from the webmaster if all was with anchor text. I also add content everyday. Not yet ranked in either MSN or Google. I will make a couple of links today and see what happens.
