Orange Watermelon Lighter Fluid Just Will Not Sale


What a great title of a blog post! I used it to prove a point though. Although in a few days this post will likely rank good in Google for the term Orange Watermelon Lighter Fluid, nobody is searching for it. This is half the problem I see with people who want me to evaluate their BANS sites. They are usually not optimized or optimized for all the wrong things. On the flip side, if I would of titled this post Lighter Fluid, people would be searching for it, but the page would not rank because the competition is heavy and I have not optimized this post or gotten important optimized backlinks pointing to this post. On top of everything else, the content in this post is not relevant to lighter fluid.

Doing your keyword research and competition research in getting ANY website to rank, not just BANS sites is important. Are you over your head in aiming for a keyword or phrase you are shooting to rank for? Have you researched who else is ranking for your keyword and their stronghold in the SERPS with backlinks and anchor text? The best onsite optimized site is only as good as what it is optimized for and around. If you use Micro Niche Finder, it will do tons of the leg work for you. You can see how tough the competition is along with search numbers and various other information as well.

Finding and optimizing is still only half the job, you still need to get backlinks pointing to your optimized page with your targeted keywords or phrases in the backlink anchor text. If I had a page optimized around Lighter Fluid, but had anchor text in backlinks reading Click Here or Dave's Site or Soggy Web Page, this would do me no good.

There is a balance somewhere in between, especially for someone new to site building and ranking. Try to pick off the lower hanging fruit first, meaning lesser searched for terms, but not as low as Orange Watermelon Lighter Fluid. Learn to rank a site for a term first and then increase the competition level. Once you learn the HOW, then all that is different is the work involved in competing for tougher more searched for keywords.

To those surfers that visited this page looking for Orange Watermelon Lighter Fluid, I apologize, I am fresh out, but you may be interested in some Orange Watermelon Micro Niche Finder.

If only it would be invented and then become popular.

Dave, are you familiar with the blogs run by a guy who goes by the name of Grizz, or grizzly? His stuff centers on adsense, but he has tons of stuff about targeting keywords and getting backlinks. Just wondered what you thought about him.

I have read some his work, on the surface his work and writings seem fine of what I have read.
