The research is incredible, but spending too much time working on a site which is getting 10-20 people daily seems as if it would not pay for the work you put in. Personally I am up to around 5k monthly for one of my sites and others sitting around 1k monthly. I see your point with increasing CTR’s, but using your example with the Iceland music schene wouldn’t the best way be to create the main blog or site on Icelands music schene then attempt to rank well for the icelandic rappers schene on a sub page or a blog post. I feel squidoo lenses, hub pages, articles, are the way to go when trying to rank for a long tailed keyword which has no competition. Anyway excellent post that was a ton of info I am still trying to soak it all in. I think I will read a couple more posts.

Fascinating,

To think that Google which in my minute perspective is the “plumbline” for all things SEO. It is disturbing that the search results are manipulated.

I recently am developing a micro-niche for my blog and have been nervous about being found. Your comments about the “Icelandic rappers who use beatboxes” for a long- tailed keyword phrase is encouraging. 🙂

Leveraging the news even with micro niche blogs is a powerful strategy.

Enjoyed your article. Thanks.
