Thanks for the response Court. I’m kind of new at this I run a distribution company for print and promotional products but those terms are way too broad to generate convertible traffic, lately we’ve been focusing on building very specific pages for products people actually search for. We use a platform called Hubspot that gives me a lot of data about keywords how many searches there are how difficult they are to rank for etc.

We are trying to create a situation where if someone searches a keyword like, document folders they land on a page that focuses only on document folders.

We are ranking for a number of words right now the problem is those words have very few searches we are trying to increase our rank for terms that get decent search volume but also have a decent likely hood of responding to a call for action once they get there.

If you can get really good at creating one, then it gets easier to create many, it’s all about the keywords and the competition on page 1. Make friends with those long tails!!

Hi Court
I know we hav been advice to go for niche product or niche search keywords but how about a situation where our core business is in very competitive market n we really need to target the same keyword as the top ranking site. Assuming we are willing to work hard on and off page optimisation, what would be the best strategy here…example the car industry. Most sites hav general car domain, car make subpages n model of each car make as further subpages. Do we do the same n work hard on getting more quality backlinks or..
1. Make sites of each model of whatever make of the car n link them as a network.
2. Make sites of each make of car n hav subpages of their respective models n link them as a networt.
3. Forget the whole idea n just go for niche keyword search where little sales is better than not at all.

sorry for the long question n thks for sharing your knowledge

Hey Chris! You would as long as you took the time to make sure each page ranked. People don’t do this and that’s how they end up with sites that have 150 posts and get 30 visitors per day. You could get more traffic by making sure that one of those posts ranked #1 for a decent keyword.

After you have one ranked #1, you can choose another and do the same. You then do another and another.

If you have that much content a lot of it should be used offsite to promote properly. If you have enough content to put up tons of posts and also promote offsite, then that would obviously be even better.

If you have the content why wouldn’t you create a bunch of pages that rank or at least have the potential to rank?

Patch that’s great – if you’re already there without the links you’re going to be in amazing shape when you get them!

It’s actually more a matter of getting the content there and then promoting properly by getting the right links!

I’ve actually found, with the proper SEO tools (All-In-One, etc and the internal linking, etc) I managed to move up quite a bit without building those external links.

Now I move on to that step in the process. This is VERY exciting. I’m already well ahead of my goals and feel like I’ve not even really started yet.

So are you saying you should create one very large page, by that I mean rather than doing 5 separate pages just put all those pages in to one big page?
