How do I rank my pages? Aren't all the good keywords taken?
When it comes to setting up an online business, with every post we write you have this mindset of getting it ranked and hence we use the best keywords so that it would help in better rankings.
With a lot of writing and in the struggle of creating posts for my own website, a thought crossed my mind which was "What if all the keywords or the low hanging fruits are already taken in my niche". I mean what if everyone wants to target the same keyword which I'm targeting at, it would be such a waste if I used the wrong keyword and write a post which would never get ranked.
It might sound a little insane to a few but these thoughts do come in your mind when you are too much into keyword research and writing :P
However, coming back to the point I did wonder for a while that how can I be sure that the keyword which I think is a Low hanging fruit and best for my blog post isn't soon going to be kicked out of the low hanging fruit category.
So to all those people who have the same doubts and insane thoughts let's dig deeper into things:
Niche specific Content: All of us are creating niche specific websites here.I have seen that barely two people have the same niche, I mean there is a lot to choose from and people tend to go in for random niches.
Suppose you do find another person having the same niche website, the other person might have cornered his website in a specific area in that niche.The worst case you might have exactly the same niche and same keywords and same target audience, so lets face it- you need to have someone to compete with.
Too many keywords: There are so many people and all of them have different ideas and different combination of words are typed in that google search bar everyday!
So chill, you would find your set of keywords and you would always have a little bit of competition for the low hanging fruit keywords as well.You could easily rank ahead of them by posting regularly and following the training at WA.
Being Consistent is the key: We need to focus on being consistent as without it ,having even the best keywords makes no sense.You do need to post regularly, keep updating your site and do work a little on getting traffic through social media. I get it if you are being totally dependent on organic traffic but never abandon advertising on these social media platforms.
Using the right techniques to get ranked: That is the reason why we are all here at WA, to learn the right way to make money.People who have been investing a lot of time in the boot-camp zone would know the scam programs that we have around us. So, rather than using some scam technique to get your website traffic and rather get it sand-boxed, I would suggest take it slowly and you would definitely make progress since there is looking back!
So, all the best ranking your pages and keep writing !

Interesting and thought provoking post-Shrestha. There are a number of things that contribute to rank other than key words.
A good key word must also be high in views and low in competition.
I think unique content that people value is also important.
I saw one of my posts jump 151 points in a short time and go to no. 7 page one. That was the biggest jump I have seen.
Just because a post ranks high doesn't mean there will be a lot of traffic. I think that is where posting on SM sites can help.

I do appreciate for your thoughts and understand what you are saying, however this is just about the keywords and how ranking is affected by the choice of keywords.
I did not want to discuss onl the factors that help in page ranking, just wanted to touch upon the keyword section :)
However, I think your comment is really helpful to whoever reads this post :)
Thanks
Shrestha :)
