SEO MelbourneNeed help with your SEO? We guarantee you ranking on the first page of Google. Get a free SEO assessment now! Free SEOWell I currently rank no.1 for SEO Melbourne in all the major search engines. However now that I have achieved this extremely difficult ranking I have decided to ditch my blog entries of 3 years and start afresh. WHAT!? I hear you ask. Won't that adversely affect my rankings? Yep you bet! So why do it? Well firstly I love a challenge. You may think SEO Melbourne is a good thing to rank for but it really is only good for bragging rights. My clients are not searching for these sorts of phrases. That is the key, to know what your clients are searching for SEO, as a term is just jargon. I will continue to rank for other phrases my clients are searching for but I don't expect to rank for bragging phrases any more like Workchoice (which I ranked no.1 for nearly two years) or SEO Melbourne. From a business perspective I will be focussing only on terms I want to make a $ out of. Like my soon to be launched SEO Video site. Trackback(0)

Is this "seo melbourne" considered a competitive keyword, with just 1 million competition?
 written by Administrator, September 21, 2007
It sure is Joe. Nice backlink grab btw. Except I have nofollow tags on comments DOH!
The number of results has nothing to do with competition for ranking. It is a common mistake people make. If you only get thirty results from a search but the first 10 are very well optimised, then you will have a hard time getting on the front page. If a result has say 2.6mill pages like the phrase "Australian Federal ELection 2007" but is poorly optimised then you have a good chance. Which is why I rank no.6 for that phrase in Google. Your "Competition" is other optimised pages not the number of results. So in answer to your question. SEO Melbourne is a highly competitive phrase as every SEO company in Melbourne wants it. Make sense?  written by owl, October 26, 2007
Hi, Jim, well done on the ranking for 'SEO Melbourne"! Seems you can brag about the federal election keyphrases as well now!

I was just doing a search on "bad credit mortgage" and found your new website bad-credit-loans.com.au ... which i thought was quite interesting because only a couple of months ago i've registered bad-credit-loan.com.au
I will be doing same type of lead generation on it as well... which is why it was registered in the first place. how valuable do you think such domains will become eg bad-credit-loan.com.au or badcreditmortgage.com.au (whhich i also own) Do you think they be worth over $10k within the next 2 years as people realise the value of SEO domain name?  written by seo melbourne, June 06, 2008
not sure you can claim it when there is another site ahead of you .. in both .com.au (worldwide) and .com.au (Australia only)
worth considering rewriting your page to allow for not being at the top now ..  written by Google Guru, June 11, 2008
What you saw was a Google dance of local data centres. Basically what you were looking at was only your PC. Can't believe you tried to link up your site off mine! Sheesh.
We are still no.1 :-)  written by The Breaker, July 02, 2008
Hi Jim,
Nice point about the inevitable loss of ranking in one area not hurting $$ on account of your refocusing on those money-making phrases - if I get your point right. It's taking that one small step further away from terms which aren't sufficiently targeted and hence don't connect with the right customers. An article I read recently, for example, berated a motor cycle helmet manufacturer for using `motor clycles' in Adwords when every Tom, Dick and Harriet searched on the subject for a million different reasons. I'm engaged in a project at present for a client and if you'd been in my target industry I'd have searched for `SEO Melbourne' not because I wanted services from you, but because I wanted to convey information which might be of interest (effectively trying to sell TO you)... Actually now that I think about it, dropping off the Adwords.Sponsored Search lists for `SEO Melbourne' sounds like a good move, but do you really want to drop off the regular search too? Doesn't it cost you a different currency? That of visibility?... or maybe that's where the challenge is. Anyways, my 2 cents worth. Keep up the great work on the videos.

Hey Breaker,
Actually I wrote that post 18 months ago after I buggered up my blog and lost 3 years worth of posts! I decided I had to start again, hence my "I'm starting from scratch" excuse! I have never bought SEO related phrases from adwords. All our online leads come from organic rankings. In fact we still rank no.1 organically for SEO Melbourne. As we focus on generating leads and sales for businesses rather than just rankings or traffic, the phrases we target tend to be less jargonistic than SEO related ones. Write comment
