In my niche, I've got about 5 to 10 competing sites that are regular bloggers, and that I consider real competitors. There are other sites as well, but their work is pretty shoddy.

From stuff I've learned here at WA, I've kind of figured out that there's a million keywords, and once you know you niche, you can just make them up because you know your audience. I've got tons of posting ideas and themes for articles.

But it's extremely frustrating when there's a trail of competitors pushing me out. The funny thing is that these 5 to 10 sites have about a week or two lag before they pic up on my new articles are posts. They take the exact keyword, write their own article, and push my site around.

Then about 3 or 4 months later, the others trail behind, with spun and poor English articles, flooding my work. I know the idea is that whoever posts first gets preference in Google, but it doesn't always work that way.

My positive thinking side says, "Work on your site, not your rank. Convert better for the keywords you rank for, and don't try to rank for so many."

My negative thinking site says, "Go get your own keywords!"

Oh well, I guess that's how business works. Just needed to complain.
