Great suggestion about Google’s Wonderwheel. I was first turned on to it a year or so back during a webinar, but I’ve never really given it much consideration such I had a keyword tool designed to uncover keywords such as this. However, after running a keyword through the wonderwheel, I must say I missed/overlooked a few gems.

Great Article with needed information But one side effect of this is that excessive use of searching Google ad-word & keywords may effect ranking of our blogs if we are using same computer to post. This is my personal Experience I lost good ranking of my two blogs with top ranking positions in Google search Engine

Thanks for this post. I liked the way you have written. Highly searched keywords have tough competition. Choosing exact opposite keywords of that can give quite success and traffic.

Good post Frank.

Have you ever used the Micro Niche Finder? It is a decent piece of software for about $100. I’ve been using for a bit now, and it performs pretty well.

I didn’t know about the wonder wheel, but Microsoft AdCenter has a similar tool (as well as several others that help to show trends and search behavior). Very nice, very handy…and free.

Keep up the good work.

Hi Robin,

That’s right. I’ll give the current top 10 a glance using the Firefox SEOQuake plugin and if I notice anything that looks like potential trouble I’ll fire up SEO Elite and analyze it further.

On OpTempo I treat each page separately for SEO purposes. I sort of consider it like my own personal Squidoo or HubPages. I link build to the index page using ‘product reviews’ as the main keyword and then to each individual page using the title. Most of the individual page links are from social bookmarking and RSS syndication (ie giving content to scrappers) but I occasionally use other methods to promote a page.

Frank,

Thank you. If I can just do a quick follow up:

1) It sounds like you don’t use competition numbers like intitle: but view the top 10 manually. Is that right? If the site doesn’t have a lot of authority but lots of links with anchor text you want how do you determine if you can beat them?

2) For your product review blog I see each product is different. Do you use backlinks with anchor text for each one in order to rank? Is it mostly from one sort of backlinking strategy? Thanks!

Hi Robin,

Here are the answers to your questions…

1. I look at why they’re ranking for the keyword, is it site authority or external links. If it’s site authority only, I’ve got a shot a beating it with my own links. If it’s from links anchored on the target keyword, it might be more difficult. In general, I try to find niches/keywords that aren’t being dominated by one or more powerful players unless I’m trying to gradually work my way into a niche, such as I’m doing with OpTempo, my product review blog.

2. I don’t use quotes to determine competition in a niche.

3. I’m not concerned about the number of result pages, only the top 10 sites are of concern to me.

4. That’s right, you need to have a promotional strategy that will bring you traffic based on your target keywords and associated long tails.

This is a great blog. Can you say what criterion you use to define competition? Do you put words in quotes to see how many other sites are competing? IF so what numbers do you use- do you try anything below 10,000 or do you go higher than that? I realize backlinks can raise you up but I wasn’t sure what you consider reasonable for longtails. Also some authority sites seem to do well for tons of longtails just by having these 3 word phrases on their pages. Is the only way to beat them with a new site to create several backlinks to one’s site with those exact anchor texts?

The WonderWheel thing is fantastic! Do you know, I’d seen the “show options” link before but it never occured to me to click it. I’m glad I read on your post.
