This has been discussed before but I can't find the post. So I am starting a new thread.

As a lot of you already know, the search results (or competition) has an enormous effect on a mini-sites ability to index for that term. Example:

Results 1 - 10 of about 5,610,000,000 for search [definition]. (0.34 seconds)

If anyone on Namepros were able to land search.net/org/us it would be extremely hard to get that site to index in the 1st page of Google's search results.

Now consider this:

Results 1 - 10 of about 2,690 for slorpy. (0.08 seconds)

I have full faith that all you would need to get slorpy.com indexed #1 in Google for that term is <title>slorpy</title><body>slorpy</body>. It would be that simple because of the keyword.com domain and the massive small competition (or search results) for the keyword slorpy.

I'd like anyone willing to expand on this, maybe even provide an algorithm of when a domain is worth hand-regging considering the search volume (Google Adwords Keyword Tool; slorpy would not be worth hand-regging) and its competing search results.

"If a keyword gets x many searches and has x many competition-search results it is worth hand-regging"

Fill-in the x's

Doesn't quite work that way - you have to factor in the quality of the competition.

Big difference between 5,000,000 results that land in a particular order more or less by accident and 5,000,000 results where most of them deliberately targeting the term to some degree ... and 5,000,000 results where the top 20 are established companies with savvy seo teams who work hard to keep them at the there.

Likewise, you can get "slorpy" dumped to never-never land if you overoptimize for the keyword or do something else that offends google.

Just like with automated domain appraisals, you can't make an accurate statement just from the numbers, you have to look at the whole picture.

something.com has more than just on-page seo, which is the small scope that you're limited to by only throwing a keyword into your title tag and body.

it shouldn't be that hard to rank for "slorpy" though.

I doubt many people (other than maybe that site owner) are seriously trying to target the word "something" by itself. So I'd call that "low competition", despite the number of pages on the internet where the word "something" appears.

Backlinks Checker Tool - Backlink Watch
Total Backlinks 48466

I believe that's the reason why Something.com is ranked #1 for the search term "something" despite "minimal" seo to say the least.

But i do believe that the example of something.com illustrates the importances of having a keyword.com for the term you want to be ranked for. That site is not ranked for other keywords although I'm not sure what the relationship is between its indexing value, domain, and backlinks

it might also illustrate what you guys are echoing here that search results alone don't tell the whole story. but i personally believe it's ranked #1 because of the keyword.com and the massive backlinks (probably built through backlink generator software). i dont think it's cause it has competition that doesn't care for that keyword. the fact that a lander page that bad is ranked #1 is astonishing which is even more astonishing considering "something" has 800M total results, many of which have that keyword in the title.

i'm just trying to find an easier/systematic way of putting out mini-sites. macro-management and passive income was the reason why i got into mini-sites to begin with.

If it has that many backlinks and the anchor text for all the backlinks is "something" and the content is "something" it will rank for "something" even if the domain name is "potato"

Since there's nothing else on the site except the word "something" it would be ridiculous of it to rank in a search for anything else. You used to be able to make a site rank for something solely by using links and anchor text - it was called a "google bomb". A google algo change diffused those bombs a couple of years ago - Google Kills Bush’s Miserable Failure Search & Other Google Bombs .
