Picking Keywords for SEO: A Fresh Perspective
Overview
Choosing the right keywords is the foundation of any successful search engine optimization (SEO) strategy. While most experts advise selecting keywords with high traffic and low competition, let's explore a different approach.
Rethinking Keyword Strategy
Aim High: Go for Bold Keywords
Yes, you should research to find keywords with substantial traffic and minimal competition. And sure, targeting keywords with lower competition might seem sensible. But what if we dared to challenge the heavyweights in SEO?
Take, for example, the keyword phrase "for sale by owner," which boasts over two million searches a month but is often regarded as impractical due to its high competition. Yet, for seasoned SEO professionals, this idea might warrant a reconsideration driven by ambition?"or sheer greed.
The Lure of High-Traffic Keywords
Imagine achieving top rankings on Google, Yahoo, and MSN for a client with listings such as "car for sale by owner." It might take 15 months, but the rewards are substantial. However, soon enough, you might wonder about the untapped potential of even bigger phrases like "for sale by owner," with its bonus 700,000 monthly searches.
A Balanced Approach
While I don’t suggest you abandon competition analysis, it's crucial to set ambitious goals alongside achievable ones. Recognize the intrinsic desire for greater challenges within the SEO world.
Challenging the Norm
The Case for High-Competition Keywords
I'm proposing a bold strategy: pursue keywords with massive traffic, sidelining competition concerns. Consider this: aim for one-word keywords. Yes, it's audacious, perhaps even foolhardy. But once you’ve conquered lower competition keywords, why not tackle the giants?
Combining Strategies
Here's the plan: identify low-competition keywords, optimize your site, and sprinkle in some high-traffic targets. If your site endures over time, those aspirational keywords might just pay off.
Taking the Leap
As I embark on optimizing for the keyword "travel," daunting as it may be with Expedia leading the charge (a page rank of 8 and 67,000 backlinks), I say, bring it on!
Conclusion
Blending short-term wins with long-term dreams can yield remarkable results. As long as you're strategic and patient, even the mightiest keywords can be within reach. Why not aim high and dream big?
