MindValley Labs Internet Marketing Blog

Today I came across a very pow­er­ful pic­ture that explains a very pow­er­ful and impor­tant SEO principle. 

The pic­ture says it all:

How impor­tant is this?  Extremly impor­tant!  It is very hard to  win for very com­pet­i­tive key­words and try­ing to win for one key­word is almost impos­si­ble, espe­cially if that key­word phrase is com­pet­i­tive.  How­ever, once you start to become an author­ity site on a par­tic­u­lar topic with lots of sup­port­ing con­tent, it can become very easy over time.  

You will see that we use this same prin­ci­ple on this blog where we con­sis­tently get a top posi­tion for key­words such as:

Google AdWords Blog
Google AdWords Expert
Google AdWords Trick
Mas­ter­ing Google AdWords
etc…
