SEO Gap Analysis Shows Keyword Land Rush is Underway
Yes the title is over-amped but getting your business’s keywords staked out online is time-critical. SEO gap analysis shows that the keyword space (translation, available Internet real estate) is rapidly being claimed. This also means that the best ranking positions in search, meaning the first page of results, are being secured and held.
An extensive SEOMoz article SEOMOZ Beginners Guide to SEO illustrates that the first ten search results received 89.71% of all click-through traffic, with 42.25% of traffic flowing to the first ranking position. SEO gap analysis is a multi-stage activity consulting Google and Yahoo! to find your site’s comparitive strength of keywords and inbound links.
This means there is a literal Internet Keyword Land Rush underway. Sites which are ranked on the first page of search results will maintain those positions, so long as they continue proper keyword SEO. Translation: that keyword has been gobbled up, that claim has been staked.
