Over the past week I have been doing some analysis on the keywords I have chosen for SA articles and squidoo pages and how they are performing with respect to ranking on Google

For 14 key word terms
79% have a search volume of between 100 - 1000 monthly searches
21% have a search volume of 1000+

Google page ranking
47% are on page 1
29% are on page 2
24% are on page 3

Interesting thing is that 100% of the articles submitted to SA with a search volume of between 100 - 1000 monthly searches all rank on the first page.

I have done a couple with search volume of between 3000 -7000 but have only submitted them yesterday so I will watch them and report back

So what I have learned today
So the moral of the story is that

• SA is a great vehicle to get traffic to your site as the articles rank quickly and hold their ranking.
• Search volumes of between 100 - 500/1000 monthly searches work really well for articles.

Good luck
