Day Three - Competition Analysis

Whew! Using Market Samurai, I narrowed down some key phrases that interested me, and were showing good search stats and low website competition. Then, I got to use Market Samurai again to analyze the top ten websites for each key phrase. This was so cool! Market Samurai was able to go in to Google, track down the top ten sites and then share all sorts of information about them and their optimization. I learned their page rank, how many backlinks they sported, whether the page was optimized for that phrase in their title, description, etc. and more.

Simply fabulous! And all in one easy spot. Now I know that's it is still "all greek" to me, but I was definitely able to choose one key phrase (actually, I have two different areas....sue me!) to focus on. Some of the key phrases I'd originally chosen simply screamed at me "NO WAY!" when I checked the competition. There would be no way I could compete with some of them.

So here - for all the world to see - is my key phrase:
