This keyword research method helped me to grow my website to 125k monthly visitors without actively building links.

Here's how I did it 👀👇

The most common advice that I see about keyword research is to avoid big fish (high authority competitors) in your niche... and this is a HUGE MISTAKE.

A high authority website will usually rank for millions of keywords.

But did you know that only 10-15% of their keywords rank in the Top 10 in SERPs?

It means the remaining 85-90% of keywords are fair game, and we will be able to discover many low-competition keywords with this huge database.

How to Find Thousands of Low Competition Keywords using @Ahrefs

Add a high authority domain in your niche to a dashboard and set the following filters.

Position: 11-100
KD: 0-20

How to Find Thousands of Low Competition Keywords using @Semrush

Add a high authority domain in your niche to a dashboard and set the following filters.

Pos: 11-100
KD: 0-29

So depending on the tool and the keyword difficulty setting we received up to 1.2M of potentially low-competition keywords to work with.

Crazy, right?

Let's say your website or a cluster on your website is about flooring. We'll add an additional filter to include all keywords containing 'flooring'.

Now that you have a few thousands of relevant low-competition keywords, your goal is to find gaps in SERP and feel them with your high-quality content.

Once your article lands on the first page for a given query in SERP you can use my powerful tactic to outrank even the toughest competitors.

WARNING: Most SEO tools calculate KD (keyword difficulty) based on the strength of incoming backlinks so you shouldn't blindly trust this metric.

Before you create an article on a particular topic, make sure to manually assess SERP to identify who are your competitors and if you stand a chance to rank on the first page of a targeted SERP.
