When it comes to search engine, it is always tough to rank well for competitive keywords. Maybe you can rank number one easily if you read The SEO Book, understand every part and implement it. You can also try browsing sites like Sphinn and blogs like SEOmoz to learn more on how to rank well for certain keywords.

Yesterday I read a post by a famous blogger(Donna) in Blogging Tips which was about coining a term and ranking number one for it. What I normally do is to try ranking well for similarly pronounced words. If you can think for sometime, you will find many words that have similar pronunciation. For ex, few people write the bank cheques as check while others write it as cheque. Both have the same meaning and same pronunciation but the sites that rank for these two terms are not the same. Leave alone the first result, it is Wikipedia on both the case. See the second result for both the words and you will find two different sites ranking. While ranking number one for the term “check” is tough, the competition for the keyword “cheque” is comparatively less. But ranking for these two terms is overall tough.

This is just an example. If you can find words like these, then you can probably increase your search engine traffic. Also consider words like “their” and “there”. Though they don’t mean the same, few people mistype the two words. Consider this example: “their earnings” has a meaning where as “there earning” don’t have any meaning. People few times mistype the second term. Though these two words are not searched, you might consider them as an example. If you can think more, you will find words like that and as a result improve your search engine traffic.
