Hi everyone! I really need some help with a keyword issue that's been plaguing me.
So....I spent literally the entire weekend (this weekend), looking up variations for a keyword that I'm interested in targeting. It's for a vertical in the tech niche.
Here's what I did:
1.) Found a keyword related to an affiliate offer that I've been interested in promoting, but never knew how. 3-words in the keyword.
Here's an example keyword: "optimize my computer"
2.) Next, I went to ubersuggest and found roughly 200 variations of this keyword; optimize my pc,speed my pc,optimize computer,make pc faster, etc,etc.
3.) Then, I removed the keyword variations that weren't relevant to my main keyword, and the keywords that seemed like blatant "non-buying" words.
(if that makes any sense!)
4.) Finally, I took those keywords, and entered EACH one into Google. I took note of the competition results, and copied those numbers on the list also.
I now have 60 keywords that are related to the main keyword group.
I would like to know if the keywords with the lowest amount of traffic have a good chance of getting on the front page in Google, if I REALLY work hard with SEO on my website and promote the content as much as possible? I am wondering if I stand a good chance of getting to the front page if I go with any of the BOLDED keywords below?
Nearly of the other keywords have between 5,000,000 and 500,000,000 pages coming up in the results! Which was my mistake in the past...targeting words with unbeatable competition, at my stage. So I guessed these numbers are more realistic, as far as words to target??
Here are the numbers:
keyword 1 - About 163,000 results
keyword 2 - About 233,000 results
keyword 3 - About 303,000 results
keyword 4 - About 313,000 results
keyword 5 - About 476,000 results
keyword 6 - About 677,000 results
keyword 7 - About 682,000 results
keyword 8 - About 922,000 results
keyword 9 - About 1,220,000 results
keyword 10 - About 1,220,000 results
keyword 11 - About 1,430,000 results
keyword 12 - About 2,720,000 results
,....etc...etc
------
I've been doing lots of reading about good SEO practices, along with my previous "experience" NOT ranking sites. Lol.
In the past, I was going after keywords with millions upon millions of competing websites, wondering why I am getting absolutely no Google traffic for my chosen keywords.
I want to know if I'm at least on the right track. Thanks everyone for any input you can give me!
