Simple Over-Competative Keyword / Phrase Search Engine Ranking Experiment
Okay, if you've already looked at the No Competition Experiment you see how easy it is to rank #1 in search engines for a non-competative keyword / phrase. Well here is the other extreme. Since any text on a website is potential keyword material that may pull your site up in a search engine then lets target two keywords for this example.
The two keywords I'm targeting:
seo
somekeywordsservenopurpose
Okay now that I've targeted those two phrases, by typing them into the textual
content of this web page(the two bolded words above), lets conduct this experiment.
So if you search for 'somekeywordsservenopurpose' or 'SEO' on Google or Yahoo
you should find a link to this web site somewhere in the results right? Wrong.
If you search
for 'somekeywordsservenopurpose' you'll note at the top, a result pointing
to our site, but if you search
for 'SEO' you could look through the entire 7 million+ results, and you'll
never find this page. This is because the keyword SEO has way too much competition,
to be able to be targeted with such little work. It would take at least a few
high quality links to this page with SEO in the link title, just to get in the
results and even then this page would be somewhere near the end unless hours
of work were spent optimizing the keyword in pages, and promoting the keyword
through link promotion(link exchanges, and purchases), getting high PR sites
to link with with SEO in the title.
