Okay I admit it. I
was kidding. I can't guarantee top 10
search engine rankings any more than the next guy.
But hold on.
Before you click away in disgust I believe I've got the next best thing.
That all but guarantees you'll get top 10 rankings. Lots of them.
For next to nothing. So you might
want to stick around and find out what this is all about.
You see to hear some tell it a top 10 ranking is a shoo
in. A gimme. A piece of cake.
Must be since Google Adwords are crammed with all sorts
of beckoning, come hither ads that suggest as much.
Now admittedly in any food chain even the bottom feeders
play a role in the big scheme of things.
But I don't know. Such pitches
may be hard for the typical traffic starved newbie to resist. I mean these ads suggest for a mere $49, $69
or $99 you'll be rolling in top 10 rankings in no time.
The sad truth is you may indeed land some top 10 rankings. But they won't be for keywords that produce
much if any traffic. And if you don't
get any traffic what good are the top 10 rankings?
Still, let's not be so hasty. While I'm not advocating anyone plunk down
hard earned cash in the hopes of landing high search engine rankings for
competitive keywords, hidden in the hype is a low cost strategy. In other words there's a way to make this
work. If you know how. And you will in about 60 seconds.
Here's all you do.
Simply fire up Wordtracker. (A subscription is about $8 for a day.) Start looking for related keywords by doing a
search for a broad, general, generic keyword in your niche. Then drill down and dig up all the related
"exact"
keyword phrases that have 9 or fewer competing
pages. All that's left is to optimize a
page on your site for each one and presto chango! A top 10 ranking!
See? A surefire
formula for guaranteed top 10 rankings.
Brain dead simple too.
Now I call such search terms "orphan keywords". Orphans because the search volume is so low
they are all but ignored by the fat cats intent on landing the big fish --
a.k.a. high rankings for terms that get hundreds of searches a day.
That fact makes these orphans super simple to rank in the
top 10 for.
Especially since many of the competing pages aren't even optimized the least little
bit.
But hold on. Let's
not high five all around just yet.
There's a tradeoff.
As I suggested lack of competition is a sure sign such
terms aren't searched for often. Maybe
no more than a mere handful of times each day in Google.
Okay so how do we make lemonade out of those lemons?
The best way to make this tactic work is to find a ton of
these terms. And don't worry. Most niches are loaded with orphan
keywords.
Then here's your next step. Simply create content pages that each focus
on two, or at most three, of these small fry.
Put up 100 such pages and you've probably got 250 of
these 9 or fewer competing pages phrases covered.
To get to 100 pages all you do is create four pages a day
- five days a week. If you miss a day
make it up over the weekend. But by the
end of five weeks you'll have 100 pages hard at work for you. Now that's not so hard now is it?
Even better these orphans come with a collective traffic
jolt you wouldn't expect.
I'm looking at one list of orphan keywords that shows 309
daily searches in Google. Another came
in around 513. While the orphans for a
third niche had over 1876 Google searches each day according to Wordtracker!
Given all that I casually suggested this micro traffic
idea to a friend with an already successful web site. In other words he wasn't hurting for
traffic. Which made this a no lose
proposition for him to test.
About four weeks later he excitedly reported his traffic
had doubled!
That's right doubled.
That got my attention. Should get
yours too.
Because this orphan keyword strategy is a surefire way to
get top 10 rankings for a whole host of lesser keyword phrases. Giving you near exclusive access to the
traffic that comes with them. While
leaving the bruising battles for the hyper competitive terms to someone else.
Pretty clever, huh?
Absolutely.
