Low Competition but High Search Volume Keywords?

05 May 16 6:22 am

The ideal is to target keywords that have high search but low competition. This is possible, and you'll often see this on information keywords.

I suggest you use Traffic Travis or Affilotoolsto check for competition. The Google Keyword Planner is excellent for looking at search volumes, but not competition as the competition data they show is based on AdWords.

Hope that helps. Have a good day!

ilearn058,

Did Mary or Cecille answer your question? It seems not, but I can't tell exactly what you are asking...

You asked, "is this keyword worthy to target?"

"body weight exercise" MIGHT be good, and it might NOT be good, it depends on what is on your website pages. Do you have information about "body weight exercise?"

Personally, I think it's a great one.

I would guess that the people using that keyword when they search in Google fall into one of these categories:

1. People who don't know what "body weight exercise" is and want to find out more information about it.

2. People who DO know what it is, and want to find out more information about it.

3. People who know what it is and are looking for somebody or some product to help them do body weight exercises.

4. People who are looking for a specific "body weight exercise" product, and are trying to find a place to buy it or a good price.

It's definitely not a "buyer" keyword, but if you have some really good, engaging content to keep people on your body weight exercise page, they might click on a link or two.

Here are three excellent articles to "hack."

So you are trying to tell that when you collect keywords in keyword planner you should not look for the competition as they are absolutely different criterias?

I'm not sre that the tool will collect data better than Google, especially the keywords with the low demand and frequency which google usually hides.

That is the disadvantage of using the keyword planner of Google, the keywords can be very limited. Google tends to hide the results from us because they encourage paid advertising on their site.

Like Cecille mentioned, all kw tools base their data results from Google. You may be wondering why some tools have better kw suggestions than Google Planner. This is because these tools have alternative ways to 'extract' results from Google search. So if you find the Google kw planner very limiting, then we suggest you try other kw search tools :)

So you probably want to know how you do this. Well, it is important to point out that, people have different methods and tools for achieving this research. In the first instance I believe that your primary goal is to find and optimize your website for ‘Low competition keywords’.
‘Low competition Keywords’ are those keywords that have a good monthly search volume but relatively low competition. I classify good monthly search volume as anything over 1,000 searches per month and preferably 3,000 searches. By low competition I mean that the sites occupying that first 10 places in Google can be beaten.

Good monthly search volume + Low competition = SEO success.
High monthly search volume + High competition = SEO failure.
Now is it easy to find these ‘low competition keywords’? The answer is no! The internet is extremely competitive, when other SEO firms find these ‘low competition keywords’ they take advantage of them for clients. However, that is not to say that there aren’t still a lot of excellent ‘golden keywords’ still to be found. Using long tail keyword phrase variations of competitive search terms is also a valuable strategy for getting your website to become an authority on a particular keyword topic. You want to look for the higher volume keyword terms, ones with at least 1,000 monthly searches (step 2 goes into this further) and then you can use a tool called Keywordtool.io to find variations of the keywords you want to target.

If you don't rely on Google for traffic, there is no competition.

Social media marketing is the future, forget Google it's too fickle.

The ideal is to target keywords that have high search but low competition

"High search but low competition" these keywords are few and far between. There's probably a reason keywords have low competition, it's because there's no money in that keyword and no-one wants it.

I'm not saying NOT to target keywords for SEO on your website, titles, meta tags/description etc.

Just write a kick ass article, use keywords for titles, meta tags/description and promote using social media, and if you rank in Google, see it as a bonus.
