Basically, I'm into building mini-sites, niche blogs. Now, Say I want to do a gardening blog. Just a random topic from my head, that I would not mind putting a lot of time into a WH project for gardening, Lets say A gardening Blog.
OK. I go to ask.com. And type in lawn care. I pick the term "organic lawn care" I run a search and find that this term gets 800 searches per month. Seems ok, as this will be only 1 post in my blog, I can handle that.
I see this "Showing results 1-10 of 1,136,000" hmmm... kinda high but still not bad. So then I put the term in quotes and get this: Showing results 1-10 of 51,000 hmmm only 51,000 pages with the exact match!
I then run to check the backlinks. Ahhh damn! 300 backlinks to the whole domain in Yahoo, no way I'm gonna get 300 backlinks for quite some time. Must choose another keyword.
I then choose lawn care advice it brings back 1,094,000 results. hmmm.. not too bad, the keyword gets like 200 searches per month. Lets check exact match. 5,140 hmmm.. now that seems good!
OK, HERES MY FIRST PROBLEM:
What does the exact match vs broad match tell me? Because, for the broad match, theres terms like lawn care and advice, but they are in any old order. How can I tell if I can rank for those, what should I pay attention too Broad or Exact match? Or is there a way to use both of those to determine something?
Damn, again, I checked the number 2 site out and it seems it has 1000 backlinks, theres no way I can compete with that! Must find another keyword.
Am I wrong for just passing these keywords up based on the fact that the domain has 1000 backlinks?
AND Should I be looking at how many links the WHOLE domain has, or just the specific page? For example: say the site www.mysite.com has 1000 links, but the page www.mysite.com/drainage has 5 links. Should I say, hey, that PAGE only has 5 links, I'm going for it?
Well, I think I've found a term here. It is: Lawn Drainage Problems and it has 140,000 pages broad and like 200 exact. The number 3 position only has 5 backlinks to it and number 4 only has like 7 backlinks to it.
I think I found a good term. Looks like all I have to do is create a page and SEO it, and shoot 10 backlinks at it, and it will rank. With about 99 searches per month for that keyword "lawn drainage problems".
Is that how to go about it? But basically, I'm just baseing everything on how many backlinks the site has....... I mean, I dont know if this is the way to do it, and everything is up in the air and I'm uncertain about all of it.
Basically its, find keyword with under 2,000,000 results broad match
If a site in the top 5 has under 20 inbound links to the WHOLE DOMAIN
And the search term has over 100 serches per month.
Thats all I'm looking at. Am I on the right track or Completely lost here? Any feedback would be great, My head is spinning, If you have any links to some articles or anything, that would be great. I'm just really wanting a sound base so that I can get research done, and start building some good WH pages.
Thank you,
