Keyword golden ration

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki

Keyword Golden Ratio is a phrase coined by Niche Site Project's Doug Cunnington[1]. It explains how to locate keywords to optimize for those that aren't extensively covered on any existing website. KGR is a type of long-tail keywords that can be used to uncover opportunities that competitors may have missed.

As long-tail keywords, they have a lower search volume, with only a few hundred (or less) monthly searches. Therefore, businesses can quickly rise to the top of Google's search results by focusing on these phrases. KGR-specific target pages can be ranked in a matter of days using this method, provided the site already has a strong reputation in its field[2].

Calculate keyword golden ratio[edit]

KGR is an intriguing concept because it is an equation. As a first step in determining a keyword's KGR, divide the total number of allintitle results by the total number of monthly searches for that keyword. The "Allintitle" search operator is a Google advanced search feature that returns the total number of results whose titles include the search term. For Example, just write "allintitle: keyword research for affiliate marketing" into the search field if the long-tail keyword is "keyword research for affiliate marketing."

Doug suggests using KGR's keyword research for phrases with 250 monthly searches or less. This is because it is simpler to achieve high rankings for keywords with a lower search volume than for those with thousands of monthly queries.

The maximum allowed number of searches is set at 250, which may seem random. However, this is a fantastic rule to live by, especially for a new website. When the site's traffic has grown sufficiently from the content itself, then the team can focus on acquiring KGR phrases with more monthly searches.  Professionals can steadily increase the number of organic website visits in a short time by scaling their efforts.

Google is rumored to place freshly released websites in a testing area called "Google SandBox" to avoid being penalized, professionals should remove the new site from SandBox as soon as possible using the KGR technique. This prevents the brand-new site from ranking, even for easy search terms. The time it takes to get the site out of Google's sandbox is typically between six and nine months, but it can be reduced using KGR strategies[3].

Allintitle[edit]

Searching Google for how many results rank for a certain keyword is now possible with the allintitle feature. For every given keyword, allintitle can reveal how much existing content is ranked. Simply enter allintitle:(the keyword) into Google's search bar, omitting the space after the colon.

Sandbox[edit]

Using KGR keywords, new site can be removed from Google's Sandbox in a matter of days. These search terms are simple to place in search engine results and thereby drive targeted visitors to the website. This can cause Google to treat a website as authoritative and remove it from the Google SandBox. New websites must wait a brief period in Google's "sandbox" before they may start ranking highly. In spite of widespread speculation over the years, its existence has yet to be verified[4].

Keyword Golden Ratio Success Story[edit]

Initially, KGR was presented by Doug Cunnington in 2015. In just 12 months, he boosted his Amazon affiliate site's monthly commissions from $450 to $20,000.

To some extent, the site's success can be attributed to the fact that organic traffic increased from 4,000 unique visitors per month in December 2015 to approximately 35,000 unique visitors per month by the end of 2016[1].

Doug didn't just rank highly since he used KGR keywords in 200 of his monthly blog posts. Additionally, he invested effort into developing inbound links via guest posts. This demonstrates the importance of completing an SEO plan with the greatest on-page and off-page strategies.

Advantages and disadvantages of KGR[edit]

Employing the Keyword Golden Ratio in keyword research and content production may be substantial long-term benefits. It's not a magic bullet that can be applied to any website and have it start raking in traffic right away.

While KGR does have certain positive features, it also has several drawbacks that could hurt an online business if too much emphasis is placed on them. Knowing the benefits and drawbacks of the Keyword Golden Ratio will help an owner determine whether or not to use this strategy.

Advantages[edit]

Speedy results[edit]

KGR is made to speed up the process of attracting organic visitors to a website. Search engine optimizers are able to boost their sites' search rankings by targeting keywords with minimal competition on Google.

Improves the Quality of Keyword Research[edit]

The Golden Ratio of Keyword Research provides an additional dimension to keyword analysis. KGR gives experts an additional level of granularity over and above what is available in standard keyword research tools. Doing so can uncover at least a few keywords that will help propel a fresh website to the top of search engine results pages[5].

Perfect for inexperienced webmasters[edit]

Building specialized websites that get lots of visitors involves a lot of moving parts, which can be intimidating for newcomers. However, novices need not worry about these things and may concentrate on making amazing content with KGR at its center. They can diversify into other areas and pursue more aggressive terms once they have established a steady stream of visitors and money.

Disadvantages[edit]

Requires a huge amount of content[edit]

Due to the low search traffic associated with KGR keywords, authors are encouraged to produce as many articles as possible that are tailored to these terms. That entails hiring authors and vetting their work to ensure quality. If a business owner doesn't have the funds available, setting these up can be challenging.

Not for obscure sites[edit]

For KGR to function, it relies on information gathered from Google and other keyword research tools[6]. Incorporating KGR into a plan is impossible if the site's niche is too niche-specific for any existing keywords that match the KGR criterion.

Keyword difficulty vs. keyword golden ratio[edit]

To find terms that would rank easily, SEOs might use tools like Keyword Difficulty and Keyword Golden Ratio. Both the KD and the KGR may be right, therefore there's no need to pick one. They show up at different metrics to assess the level of rivalry surrounding a specific keyword[7].

To boil it all down, the distinction is as follows:

Currently ranking web pages' Link Profile Strength (LPS) is the basis for the KD metric, while the KGR metric relies on whether or not the term appears in the page's title[8].

Consequently, the following are the most important factors that KD considers:

  • Authority of Domain and Authority of Page
  • To Majesty, Citations, and Trust
  • Determine whether or not a webmaster is aiming to rank for a particular keyword phrase by using the KGR. To be safe, presume that the webmaster is not aiming for the keyword if the term is not included in the title.
  • Even though they approach the solution from opposite ends, both indicators are helpful for assessing the level of competition.
  • If the KGR and KD metrics for a keyword phrase are low, then it will likely be difficult to rank for that keyword.
