Is this keyword easy to rank? how can I estimate what kind of work it takes.

[zsyed]

I am Using Micro Niche Finder

KeyWord: Send SMS online

domain available: .org

Avg. Monthly searches: 1600

Adword cost : 2.12

Measure of Back link: 633

SOC: 20 (green)

Most of the Back link using Majestic SEO appear to be coming from sendhub.com and massmailsoftware.com website.

I researched sites with these keywords and those sites appear to have tiered pricing plans and appear to be charging money for their services.

My plan, put some effort in organic SEO and rank this site to page 1. Get some optin users and start communicating with them to see what is their pain point.

How can I tell on what it takes to rank this page to page 1 on google? Would it take lot of blog articles for back link and if so… how many? Is a rough estimate possible.

Thanks.

I can tell you right now that average monthly searches is wrong. The term is peaking more than ever on Google:

Software such as WhatsApp is increasingly keeping people from texting traditionally and using the internet instead.

Hi, the Moz assessment of keyword difficulty for "send SMS online" is 62% which is defined as follows:

Highly Competitive
Powerful sites with strong pages tend to dominate these results. Links in quantity and quality (at both the domain and page level) are required to earn top rankings.

I think if you don't have a site established and a track history for this already, then your chances of ranking well enough to earn traffic from search engine clicks is small to zero. If you have a product to sell for this term then my advice is that you are better off spending any money you have to pursue this by using Google Adwords. But then at the USD 2.12 cost you listed, then it's possible you won't see a return there unless you are hoping to sell packages for sending SMS online in high volumes.

I hope that helps,
Peter
