Keyword List Using Wordtracker

04 Dec 06 4:21 pm

Hi Winford,

The rule of thumb is, you are looking for the widest ratio between the number of times searched and the number of competitors. The actual numbers will be relative to the size of your niche.

Another thing you have to consider is, you have to think like your customer. What words would they be using to search for my product. You can sometimes uncover words that your competitors haven't discovered yet.

Your goal is deliver traffic to your site and finding the right keywords that will generate traffic for you is most important, so use the numbers, use your creativity and use your instincts that should help you put together a good list.

Hope that helps,

Another angle on competition for organic search engine results and SEO: Remember that you'll be able to topple most of the competition if you're doing things right. Most people are doing a half-arsed job. So don't consider the *amount* of competition as much as you consider the *quality* of the competition. (You'll find certain markets where people are putting in more effort, and certain markets where the competition is completely oblivious when it comes to SEO.)

Just keep that in mind. Don't discount particular keywords because there's a lot of competition. It might take a *little* more effort, but it's very possible.

Regards,
Mark
