What would be the ideal budget to take the following keywords to next level?

Hi friends,

I have not spent much money to date on one of my online blogs for nearly 2 years now.
I took two services from the marketplace, but unfortunately, not the result I was expecting.

Here are a few KWs, which I consider spending money on to get 100k search traffic before 2021 starts.

FYI, these are only the top keywords, and I am not mentioning 500+ of long-tail KWs.

Can you guys please guide me about the next step, remove the roadblocks to reach 1st page of Google. Please offer your expert advice on:

1. What budget shall I keep
2. Type of service (s) to consider
3. Expected time frame

Are there other links to pointing at these pages?

I'd suggest quality PBN links with some guest posts as well.

But that would still depend on your competition, how strong they are, how optimized their content and yours is for the keywords and finslly the kind of links pointing to their sites.

1. It's really hard to provide exact estimation without looking at the keywords. However, if we take KWD 43 into consideration then around 40-50 contextual links will be required for 1st keyword. Further, such HQ links can cost in-between $80 to $300 per link.

2. For long term, I just suggest contextual links from sites having organic traffic. For short term, PBN will work.

3. At least 3-6 months as per my view.

Dunno without know what they are to give a decent answer.

However...

If it was me id be going for 13 and below first. Get decent position on 3-5 KWs with 900 searches p.m (900*5 = 4500) your already beating search volume of keywords 9 and higher with less effort and the traffic depending on what the goal is if ecom the traffic would be more qualified and resulting in a sale.

Use profits from sales to go after the higher keywords and so on..

How did you make that calculation? KD = amount of links?

It's a rough estimation based on Ahrefs KWD. Obviously it's not exact and no one out there can provide an exact estimation. If the keyword is not competing with major percentage of high authority sites then a rough estimation can be taken based on Ahrefs KDW. Let's say the keyword he's planning to target is having few high authority sites ranking on the 1st page & few of them are low or medium authority ones then links can be built based on KWD. Again. it's just an estimation.

For the first 4, answer is NO!
I wrote these articles 7 months back and found 135 relevant KWs without any back-links (except sharing on my Pinterest, Twitter and FB page).

As far as competition is concern, they are sites with excellent stats. Still, as per my previous experiment, I hang between posting 8-14 frequently which gives me around 700+ monthly visits for similar KW.

To be frank, I never tried to shoot any KW to the 1st rank, hence, asking earlier mentioned questions.
