Ranking takes time, and there's no exact formula for how to rank a page or website. Looking at ranking metrics is just a guide to show you approximate competition and your chance of ranking. It's not a formula to say when you are guaranteed to rank.
As far as "how to rank" goes, there are several strategies laid out within the training that will help you increase your rank.
-writing content
-internal linking
-getting comments
-social sharing
-...and more
You are right that a lot of factors go into ranking. They might be PR 4 sites, so outrank the lesser known websites that have exact match keywords. But if those people put more work into their sites, maybe they would rank better! It's hard to know unless you actually try it.
No keyword is ever "not worth going for". Try your best, and you can improve the page over time. There are several resources within WA on how to improve your rank of existing pages.
Hope this helps!
Thanks Nathaniell. Your response makes sense. I guess that every successful blog requires persistent effort and time to build authority with Google. I understand that the ranking metrics are only a guide.

In lesson 7, on the topic of keywords, it says that "WA premium includes 500 handpicked keywords per month." What does that mean, and how do I use this feature? Thanks.
You can also use Nathaniel's curation of most of the important keyword training within wealthy affiliate's. Keyword Training Resources
They are located in the left sidebar section of the WA dashboard here: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/keyword_lists
Unfortunately, this isn't something that's updated very often so I'm not sure why they still advertise that.
But there are other resources within WA that you can get a hold of. As a premium member, you also have access to the Diamond Traffic Program: The Diamond Traffic Program And you can also find low hanging fruit keywords using the free WA keyword tool.: How to Get Keywords Ranked With Low Hanging Fruit Hope this helps!
Thanks Nathaniell. I downloaded the Traffic Explosion 3.0 from the Diamond Traffic Program link that you provided. It looks awesome, and I can't wait to read it. I have also started looking for the low hanging fruit keywords with the WA keyword tool. Thanks again for the great resources!

I'm an English teacher, and I want to teach college-bound immigrants how to speak and write proficiently. I used the Google keyword tool to search for relevant keywords, and al
My wife taught English to immigrant kids from Latin America and Southeast Asia. Most knew no English, but they learned fast because my wife didn't speak their languages and English was the only common language they had. We became personal friends with many of their families.
I agree that teaching ESL learners, especially kids, can be a rewarding experience. That's why I considered it for my niche.
Longtail keywords can be a great foundation of traffic for your business. Low competition phrases are what you should be targeting in the beginning because any new sit will have trouble competition with larger, established websites.
Sure, you have to work hard to stack some posts up and build traffic, but that's it pays off eventually, and can help you rank for more competitive terms later on down the road.
Thanks for the response. For my particular niche, teaching English to college-bound immigrants, there are only a few high traffic keywords and they are all dominated by established websites. The problem is that college-bound immigrants will use the same keywords as anyone else who wants to learn English. Do you think that I should abandon this niche and come up with something else?
I did Jaxxy search on "teaching English as a second language and got this.

This is obviously a niche you enjoy and have expertise in. You can help a lot of people. You want passive income. Develop a membership site and provide ongoing services.
It's a tough call, and you'll have to make the final decision. What about talking about specific subjects taught in English
Learn algebra as a non-native speaker
Statistics English I don't understand
Biology class in simple English
I'm just spitballing here. It does seem like a tough niche to think of ideas to write about, but I haven't done the research. Not to imply that you should ditch the idea, but did you have any other niches you were considering?
Bill, thanks for the advice! I really appreciate the time that you spent to research potential keywords for me. You have given me some great ideas to work with.
Thanks for offering a few ideas. I do have some other niche ideas in mind, but teaching English is my expertise. Then again, I can learn anything. I can imagine how busy you are. Thanks again for taking the time to respond to my question.
