subject: Competitive Keywords How to Get High Search Rank for Them [print this page] Keyword research is a very important part when doing any type of internet marketing. Without it , You have no idea what people are searching for. So basically You have to guess, Not a bright idea. The best way to do this, is by using keyword research tools. There are some really good free ones. You can do a quick web search for free keyword tools and find some quickly.
Now after You have a feel for finding some good words to go after, there is still the problem of ranking for them. You will often notice that all of the first keywords that come to mind are taken at the top spots. The only things You can manage to rank for, is page 2 or keywords that don't get traffic. We are going to change that and get You ranked for some competitive keywords.
Have You ever noticed when You search for a specific keyword or words, You get a domain name with the word in it? Example, "Funniest You tube videos". First of all The keyword is fairly long, which should be Your first goal, long tail keywords. Secondly, the actual word Youtube is in the site's name. Its very, very hard to out rank a keyword that is included in the site's name.
Here is another example, "internet marketing", another hard keyword to rank for but if You pick a domain name like "internet marketing overview dot com" You can attach that to a wordpress blog and rank pretty high for that very competitive keyword.You want to also use a long tail keyword when You write content, example, "Home business" is difficult to rank for but a long tail keyword like, "learn home business techniques fast" is a much easier choice.
You can than write articles and make videos that link back to Your site's top level domain name with the keyword in it. Lets recap with an example. If You use My name Jonathan Sweeting as Your keyword, You want the top level domain name Jonathan Sweeting dot com. You don't always have to have the word in the site's name but then You will need more links pointing to the site.Thats a more advanced strategy but its good to know You can do it.
You then want to use long tail keywords that are relevant to Your search like " advanced seo with Jonathan Sweeting". Then You want to create other content online , with articles and videos and link back to Your main keyword site. I hope this has given You a basic understanding of competitive keywords and how to get high search rank for them.
