What about authority sites not optimised for a keyword - whether to consider or disregard them? Your views on total PR is very interesting.

The biggest problem I have with looking in quotes is that you don't really know how tough the competition is going to be. I personally like to see the actual sites I'm going to have to beat to rank #1. There are a lot of ways to do keyword research.

When I search for good keywords I usually use keyword tool for adwords and then do a search for a word or phrase on Google with quotes. Whay do you think about that ? Is it stupid/wrong ?

I use the 30 and under rule... if the PR of the sites on the first page add up to 30 or less I'll take it on. I have found adding them together to give me a better indication of competition than just looking at any 1 given site. It's a toss up adding a brand name to your domain name. It can help with ranking, but you could also get a cease and desist letter from the trademarked company then all your work will have been in vain... so it's up to you to decide if you're willing to take the risk.

Probably a bit late but, hey - better late than never. I must say you have great stuff here, and not so overwhelming like the rest of the other blogs out there. Probably because of the way you put those ideas/concepts into context. I have some questions: 1. "1. What if Amazon is the top listing? I don’t worry about it. The page is getting to the top based on the authority of the entire site, not the page itself. It can be outranked with good backlinks." What if that Amazon page has a PR 4 or 5, or in combination with other authority sites with the same PR - say Facebook, hubpages, yahoo answers and wikipedia. If the overall PR is below 30, should I still go for it? Does high PR ranking in the 1st SERP, like 4,5 or even 6, affect your decision in choosing keywords? 2. Do you consider the total result count, like if there are 50-150 million results, does that raise a flag or something? 3. A friend's advice is whenever I see a PR 3 or higher, I should drop that keyword, since it'll take at least 2-3 years in order to outrank those. 4. It's a bit out of topic, but here goes: Is adding the brand name on your domain name like bestdeals.com a good thing or bad? Thanks and more power to your blog! Hi Jackie,

I’ve been following your blog for quite some time now – and I guess it’s way to take some action! Probably a bit late but, hey – better late than never. I must say you have great stuff here, and not so overwhelming like the rest of the other blogs out there. Probably because of the way you put those ideas/concepts into context.

I have some questions:

1.
“1. What if Amazon is the top listing?
I don’t worry about it. The page is getting to the top based on the authority of the entire site, not the page itself. It can be outranked with good backlinks.”

What if that Amazon page has a PR 4 or 5, or in combination with other authority sites with the same PR – say Facebook, hubpages, yahoo answers and wikipedia. If the overall PR is below 30, should I still go for it? Does high PR ranking in the 1st SERP, like 4,5 or even 6, affect your decision in choosing keywords?

2. Do you consider the total result count, like if there are 50-150 million results, does that raise a flag or something?

3. A friend’s advice is whenever I see a PR 3 or higher, I should drop that keyword, since it’ll take at least 2-3 years in order to outrank those.

4. It’s a bit out of topic, but here goes: Is adding the brand name on your domain name like bestdeals.com a good thing or bad?

Thanks and more power to your blog!

It just looks more natural in the eyes of Google. I think building a lot of lenses is good ~ and if you can keep on that track do it... but I'd say take an hour or two a day and build some links to multiple lenses regularly ~ it takes time for links to be found, and counted and one days linking just isn't going to do the trick anymore.

Practice makes perfect. And the idea of testing things out is the exact thing I'm following. Btw, I have another question. I'm making lenses and I'm creating and promoting one lens every 2 days. You know, from doing keyword research, creating lens to building backlinks. All in 2 days. Day 1 will finish with keyword research, lens building, blog postings (including all free ad blogs), RSS submission, and some social bookmarking activities. Day 2 will finish off with my articles submitting on EZA and other article directories and a free blog network, and some more social bookmarking. Day 3 will repeat day 1. I don't know if I'm rushing it or not (although it sounds like that), but can you please give me some advice from your experience? Should I keep that schedule or should I slow down? I'm thirsty for success... Anyway, thank you for your quick reply :) Wow Jackie, another amazement :D

I have hundreds of lenses and when I wrote the guide and did the lenses the ones where the keywords fit that criteria were fairly easy to get ranked. Like I said ~ it's a down and dirty technique ~ it's not perfect, but it's a great way to get a quick idea of how tough it's going to be to rank a certain keyword. Same thing with MNF. Lenses are teeny tiny 1 page websites... you've got to have very little competition to be able to make it worth the time to get them ranked. I found if I kept the SOC under 20 it was fairly easy to do that. People ask me what I did ~ so I told you... please feel free to experiment with my process. It's nothing written in stone ~ and most will find that they play with it to create a system that fits perfectly with them. I am happy to review lenses for <a href="http://internetmarketingformommies.com/kiss-club">KISS Club</a> members, but I no longer just do reviews.
