This is continued from SEO Tips For Keyword Domination Lesson 2 for make money online review and other blogs.

In the last lesson, we learnt about keyword research and how to interpret the numbers that show up for the keywords we want. That was just the tip of the iceberg. There are lots more to do before deciding on whether a keyword is profitable and is attainable at the same time.

LESSON 3 – ASSESSING KEYWORD COMPETITION

Let’s take a quick peek at Google so I can show you exactly how many websites are competing for this keyword.

If you were to optimize your website for this keyword, you’d be competing against over 66 million other websites! I don’t know about you, but that’s an aweful lofty goal to start with.

By the end of this course, you will be able to eventually target super high traffic, targeted, keywords, but it’s always best to start off on the keywords with less competition. Get some traffic with those keywords, and THEN as your website gets older and you build some authority in the search engines you can focus on optimizing for the larger keywords.

Ok, so back to finding which keywords we want to target.

If we scroll down, we can find some more specific keyword phrases like “weight loss story”, “weight loss picture”, “free weight loss plan”, and “safe weight loss”.

These are potential keywords we should target to begin with.
