I have found mostly that, those long-tailed keywords that have little competition or even entire niches that appear to leave room for dominance, also have very few people actually using the keywords or having an interest in the niche.

I say ‘mostly’ because occassionally you will come across a genuine opportunity, and if I compete against nobody in 19 niches in order to dominate just one, then that is time well spent for me.

Matt is therefore correct (he isn’t always – nobody is) in my view, and his approach mirrors mine although is far better expressed and likely far better executed.

If you don’t have good content, your visitors will leave. If you picked up a magazine at the barber shop and started scanning for something to read, you would look for something interesting by the headlines… Once an article is found and you start to read it, if it bores you, what do you do? Skip over it and find something else…. That is logically what bad content will do to your site. Either hold their attention or they will leave… Thanks for the post Matt….

Its all great discussing articles. Matts Advice, as usual, is second to none. My question is, whats effective task you can do with the article, once it has been written? I know the generic answer is “submit is to places like goarticles.com” etc, however I’d like a more specific response, ideally from Matt himself as I’m sure its possible to do a lot more than simply submit and forget.

Thanks for the useful article but i also like to know that Is keyword stuffing necessary to the content and if not then what else we can do for that. If anyone don’t have that much content then what he can follow. Hope i get good answer of that.

Matt is correct. Even very specialized topics can yield lots of traffic. On one of my blogs I wrote a short article on how to install Ubuntu Linux on an old model Toshiba laptop. it gets about 5 unique visitors each and every day. Amazing.

It is a great article, and I actually believe the use of Google Insights is a great tool to grab on-to those niches you speak of. On our blog we simply write about the things we love which usually is technology. It is remarkable the amount of traffic we produce simply by creating blog articles. We to started with a niche, technology.

I enjoyed the article and ironically I found it on Google searching the key-phrases : SEO Content Writing

shows that it works.

I completely agree, good content will drive good SEO.
The advice I have for my clients who are bloggers is use fewer, but more targeted keywords in your titles and wordpress entries. I enjoyed your article, but I really enjoyed the good comments underneath as well. I’m glad I found your blog and intend to link to your article so that others may find it easily.

I agree with digital pointing while I feel obliged to say that no matter how many new search engines appear and try to draw attention, as far as the focus is on creating valuable content like how it’s been defined at this post, we’ll be Ok.
People seek for what they need online to find and read. Content must appeal to them first. If this happens, search engines will approve such content and boost its ranking!

Matt, you wrote this post in 2006 and this is now 2009. And readers are still there… I’m one of them. I don’t think there is anything left to comment upon. This was a really wonderful, informative, brilliant post!!! As you have said, I got some ideas … I’ll be trying to concentrate on smaller niches rather going for my final target !!

Cheers
