Ranking A Page: A Case Study

I have a ton of blogs. Most of which are used in my private SEO network. I’ve decided to start focusing on ranking for single phrases or small keyphrase groups.

In this case I’ve selected a blog of mine that is built on an aged domain. The last Google visit was 3 days ago. I know the site will rank because I tested its current rankings with long-tail phrases. I’ve decided to go after a niche in the Halloween costumes vertical (a fairly high competition arena). It’s coming on that time of year and I figure I’m up for the challenge. I will be live blogging my progress daily.

Case study start date: Sept 14th, 2011 9:41 PM

I found an old domain I had and set up a blog on it. I’ve posted 3 of 4 youtube videos with brief 100 word synopsis of each video.

I installed the all in one SEO plugin and configured accordingly.
My goal is to create a page that will rank for our main keyphrase.

The keyphrase we want to rank for is 2 words. High competition with 60,500 local searches every month. I’m sure it skyrockets in October. We have about a month to get the top for maximum exposure. I have my work cut out for me.
