✅ [METHOD] Find Super Low Competition Keywords

Hey, I saw a Twitter thread by a guy named Ahmed. This is the thread, and below is the text version of the thread:
This method is very similar to what I do, but hey he deserves the credit.

STEP-1:
Search "[your niche]+forum" and find the top 2-3 reputable forums in your niche. Let's say you are in the home theater niche. Search 'home theater forum' and see what comes up.
STEP-2:
Put any of these forum home page links in Ahrefs Site Explorer. Go to the 'Top Pages' tab on the left and see which of the pages are getting the highest traffic.

You will be surprised to see how much organic traffic these sites are getting without any SEO or even backlinks.
In our example, these two:
  1. Are junction boxes in the attic ok? (traffic: 800)​
  2. What is the best TV calibration kit for consumers? (traffic: 600)​

STEP-3: Read the threads with all replies and do additional research on related topics to write down the most comprehensive article on that topic. If a forum site with no SEO can rank for this topic, your well-optimized well-structured article can certainly rank too.

Repeat this process for a bunch of top forums in your niche. In each forum, you will find a ton of golden keywords & topics that you won't find via your standard keyword research process. Cover these topics and watch your traffic go hockey stick.
Wow, thanks for the share but can this be used for new blogs?
 
can you easily outrank a forum? I always hear people saying forums are easy to beat. Why? I can see here below the forum are high ranked websites so how can you beat it especially if you have a fairly new domain? Shouldn't we analyze the competitor's site rank first?

No one is saying that you should just copy and paste every keyword that your niche forum is ranking for.

If you see a forum ranking for a keyword + other sites ranking do not really fulfill the search intent, then go for that keyword.
 
Even if a keyword research tool says that the keyword difficulty is 0, always do a manual lookup for that keyword before going with it.
 
Thanks for this tip. I also use the same approach on Quora to find niche topics to write on
 
If you see a forum ranking for a lot of keywords in your niche, be sure to check the links it has. Some forums get a lot of links from Highly Authoritative websites, and you just can't compete with them at that stage.
 
You gave me some new ideas, thank you! I did something similar in the past, and it worked well. Forums on high position in the SERPs are always a good indicator for low competition keywords.
