Ranking in a competitive niche
Last Update: February 04, 2016
Hi guys,
I have been really struggling to rank on the first page of Google. This might be because I am in a very competitive niche or the fact that my site is only about three months old...
I quickly went to check some of my keywords and to my surprise, realized I am on the first page with one of my posts!! I am really happy to see some results, as I am a bit negative at the moment regarding my success. The post that is ranked is not one where I used affiliate links, but hopefully I will start getting some organic traffic with that post.
Anyway, I just wanted to show you it is possible to rank in a competitive niche. Hopefully as my site starts to gain trust, I will start to rank on the first page a bit more.

It does get easier, I'm also in a highly competitive niche and up against big giants, but they are also sloppy and are churning out material that I can improve upon so over time I gain authority.
If you really like the topic I would advise stay with it and produce good quality content because Google will recognise that, regardless of who you are up against.

Congrats on your getting to the first page of google especially in a competitive niche, it is not easy. I am also in the same boat, I am ranking for certain keywords, but it has taken time for me with my website being 4 to 5 months old. Congrats again and thank you for sharing.

Great job on getting to the first page of Google! Thanks for mentioning how old your site is. I was starting to get discouraged about my page rankings - my site is about 1.5 months old. Keep up the good work :)
