So what‟s an acceptable level of competition? Well, that depends on the keyword.
And because of that, this is an area that many guides leave out, since it‟s something
you‟ll only really learn from personal experience...
But I wanted to come up with an exact system that you can use so that you‟re not at
too much of a disadvantage over the more experienced guys.
But remember that there‟s no substitute for real experience and you may get it
wrong the first couple of times.
Anyway, here are my „golden‟ competition guidelines:
First of all, let‟s talk about number of competing pages. Now this is probably the most
inaccurate way of doing things. I recommend that you follow my other guidelines as
well, which involve researching the top results in detail, since that‟s who you‟re
competing with – Not the thousands of guys on pages 2 – 50.
But anyway, it does help to give you an initial „feel‟ for a keyword. Now, this will vary
from keyword to keyword but as a rule look for no more than 13,000 competing
websites when you put your keyword in phrase marks. So, if you‟re keyword was
lose weight really fast you would type into Google “lose weight really fast” and see
how many pages it identified as a result. (The section where it says displaying 1-10
results out of #number, where #number is the number of competing pages).
I prefer however, to analyze all the top ranking websites in a bit more detail and try to
gauge if I‟ll be able to outrank them. So here are some tips on that:
Forum topics - If there‟s forum topics high up on page one (I don‟t care how many
views and replies they have) it‟s usually a pretty good sign. Not just because you will
outrank them but it shows a general lack of competition for the keyword.
Other snipers. Yes, there are a few of them around and even though we‟re often
spread out you can run into keywords where there‟s another sniper competing for it.
A great example of this is Clickbank product names. Check out a product name on
Google, for example a product I‟m currently #1 for “DJK Google Shadow”:
