This keyword Google search result breakdown was challenging because I had to view every URL for every keyword to determine what kind of a website I was looking at - this was very time consuming but worth it
This keyword group surprised me with the results I found
I downloaded a keyword list from Google Keyword Planner - Seed Keyword - Windows VPS Hosting
I needed to clean the list before using it started with 700 keywords ended up with 677 keywords
Anyone notice the quality of keywords from keyword planner getting worst and worst
I saw keywords dated over 4 years ago, I just cleaned them out so the list will be timeless
First surprise was the first image
I expected a lot more high DA sites to be in this group of keywords
just under 1/2 of the sites are doable for ranking on page one
I breakdown the DA values into 3 groups
0-40 easy
40-60 medium
60-100 hard
I also count all the ads for every keyword
I believe in following the money trail, serious PPC people must have their ads convert if they are going to succeed
I always follow the money trail
The AD counts just blew me out of the water
Almost 600 of the 677 keywords the AD count was max out at 7 for the page one search results
Next image is the site type breakdowns, since my tool is trained for general site types I need to verify the hosting site types so this was tedious work but would pay off for further work in the hosting niche
This keyword group is about hosting so in a way no big surprise the majority of sites are actual hosting sites, I've just never seen this in other niches
What did surprise me is the site types that were not identified how small it was
Here is the breakdown
total URLs 6746, this is not unique urls
this is the amount of urls found over 677 unique keywords
at this point I am not looking for unique URLs just the over all picture
if I was doing this for myself or a client I would go deeper into the analysis
hosting site URLs 4591
Identified websites 1625
unidentified websites 530
the unidentified URLs is where I saw opportunities for review sites, I saw few review websites and the quality of them in my opinion was low
The landscape of so many hosting companies is not about the elephants in the room is how many hosting companies are competing in this space
I was very surprise how many hosting companies their sites were outdated, loaded slow, the list goes on and on on improvements
who only knows how many of them were even mobile friendly
Next breakdowns
NEWS - they did not play much of a role in the rankings
WIKI - this time around wikipedia was the main player here
the other keywords I did breakdowns wikihow was the main player, in fact wikihow did not even show in this group of keywords, interesting how this played out
SOCIAL - linkedin showed up did not in other keywords I've done on BHW
Reddit really shined in this breakdown, if your reading this backlink opportunity and traffic possibilities here
VIDEO - not many of them and youtube was the only player here, again video opportunites only 59 listings and you have 620 keywords without video, lots of missed opportunities here
eCommerce - saw some shopify sites in the mix, overall not many real eCommerce sites, pretty much minor players
BLOGS - kind of strange some wordpress, and blogger but many sites had unidentified blog types but without digging into it could not recognize blog types
Q/A - again Quora the only player here, backlink/traffic opportunities here
Next is I identified the elephants in the room for Windows VPS Hosting seed keyword group
Out of the 4591 hosting URLs identified these sites showed up 3029 times in the breakdown
these are the top 39 sites for the 677 keywords
I had a spread sheet up and if the listings were more than what showed the site qualified to be listed
I could of picked more or less, it really didn't matter to me I'm just trying to prove a point
I listed the first image in the most listings to the least 300 to 20 listings
If I was considering this niche these are the players the elephants in the room I would dig into and understand there rankings
Some of the more well known names didn't do as well as I expected
Next image I looked at was their DA values, the majority had high, but many of them were medium to low, if you look at the spread the ends seem to hold most of the high DA values for quantity of page one listings
Next image the links
Everyone is so concerned about links
I just used a bulk link checker I am pretty sure the data came from Moz
Many disagreements have happened on who has the best link checker
Personally I don't care I just need to know if sites have a whole bunch or not in the early stages of doing breakdowns
If I was trying to compete in a hard to rank area you bet I would want to know alot more about links
For preliminary analysis coarse link analysis serves it's purpose
I had a glitch when it came to looking at the Google links so not skew the results into non-existence I limited the Google links because I couldn't really get anything to show up
Again the majority of the links showed up at the ends with the high DA values but the majority of the sites on page one had attainable amounts of links
I see so much written about what people should do in SEO and most of what I see is just a bunch of parrots out there of what they read from this guru and that guru
I do this all the time and niche after niche contradicts what is being said out there
Surprises happen all the time
Google is not going to tell you squat in their keyword planner, and just about everyone swears by it, come on guys open up your eyes to the truth
The truth is the search results, when you actually know what is happening for a specific keyword group then you know what your talking about
Anyone willing to check out the links for the elephants in this room please contact me I would like to see what the difference would be to see if it makes a difference
I am up for suggestions on what else I could add to the mix
Keep in mind, I've been dong breakdowns since 2008 and tried just about everything, most of what I see in the search results is noise and don't mean squat
