Ok - Who's the champ?

Just to break the tension!

[sachac]

Who scores highest for their single mega keyword in Google, in the most competitive category? Here goes, me first:

Current rank: #4
Number of results: 2,460,000

[Brett_Tabke]

drat, win some freshbot - lose some freshbot!

[Pebbles]

I'd like to see this thread with the addition of the PROFIT earned monthly from your websites. I'm sure there are some high-rollers in here.

[bigace]

This is interesting. But what about some of us that don't have any 1 word keywords that are relevant in our line. Who would win the 2 word phrase contest.

2 Word phrase: #1 out of 480,000

[BigDave]

I accidently got #1 (and #2) out of about 3M on a 2 word term (I know you said single word) that really had nothing to do with my site. I changed my site to no longer do well on that term because it was wasting the searcher's time and my bandwidth.

My best single word #1 that I know of is 383,000.

My higest traffic single words are #5 & #6 our of 175,000, and #8 out of 805,000.

The monthly profit from the website is -$39.95, the cost of hosting the site.

[Jesse_Smith]

Three keywords give me...

#5 with 5,420,000 links.
#1 with 1,610,000 links.
#1 with 3,570,000 links.

[GoogleGuy]

#1 out of 19,600,000 and
#3 out of 280,000,000

for me..
:)

[born2drv]

Haha, GG is back, so this must mean the update is any minute now :)

He's here to watch us squirm.

[Brett_Tabke]

I just knew he was going to do that. If our resident Onion lurker comes out of the woodwork, he's got us all beat:

kw: "the"
Results 1 - 100 of about 3,450,000,000. Search took 0.10 seconds.

[GoogleGuy]

Sorry, I was checking up before going to bed and couldn't resist. :) Goodnight everybody..

[getvisibleuk]

was #3 for one of the top 5 words on the net. I left the company and now they're number 10 - he he.

[Jesse_Smith]

:::#1 out of 19,600,000 and
:::#3 out of 280,000,000

:::for me..

And #1 out of about 5,150,000. (search engine)
And #3 out of about 221,000,000. (search)
And #2 out of about 29,600,000. (engine)
And #9 out of about 242,000,000. (web)
And #1 out of about 1,260,000. (googlebot)

[HitProf]

GoogleGuy:

> #1 out of 19,600,000

Did you optimize for it? :)

[Marcia]

Now #2 out of 2,580,000 - was #1 through the holidays, peak of season. Two word phrase.

But I have to be the champ for getting the mostest with the leastest. I am #2 and #3 for pages with *nothing* on them whatsoever except a background - zero, zilch, nada. I mean NOTHING. Not a speck of text, not a graphic, nothing. And each has only 1 link to it, from the same PR3 page that does not have the link text on it. Out of 836,000 pages returned - with only Netscape in the top spot beating me out. It's a three word phrase, not a single word.

Highest single word is #7 out of 1,820,000.

[EBear]

GoogleGuy:

> #1 out of 19,600,000

As pointed out earlier, anyone can be #1 for their own site name. The trick of course is to have a brand that produces nearly 20 million results.

;)

[jady]

Amen Shak... We are in the "Top 3" for about 5 KW's and all bring about 2,000 hits a month from Google. But our company grossed 500K last year... :)

[EquityMind]

Hey...GG isn't playin fair....aren't employees of said contest usually excluded? I know McDonalds employees can't play in THEIR contests....

:)

[dwilson]

#8 out of 11,800

Was there before finding WW. Now with this latest update, I'm looking to move up in more competitive KW's.

[allanp73]

What terms is Googleguy ranked #1?
I need proof ;)

[Receptional Andy]

GG, you forgot 3rd out of 1,040,000,000 ;)

Correction, 1st out of 1,220,000,000

[HenryUK]

#7 of about 4,000,000 for top two-word keyphrase.
#1 of about 740,000 for same phrase UK sites only

haven't really targeted for it though and it accounts for only a tiny fraction of our traffic.

the rest comes from thousands of naturally occurring phrases just from straightforward indexing of a lot of data.

we are #1 or #2 for more two and three word phrases than I can count...

[tosspot17]

OK, here's my best shot...

#9 of about 2,240,000. Search took 0.16 seconds

<added>just remembered another... #44 of about 9,200,000. Search took 0.12 seconds.

[jcoronella]

GoogleGuy, don't foget #3 out of 1,040,000,000.

Doh! Yahoo has you beat! Maybe everyone here can pitch in and add a <a href=http://www.google.com>www</a> link to their site for you.

[Receptional Andy]

jcoronella try searching for 'com' instead as I imply above.

[Slud]

Here's a thread I'd like to see:
Highest rank in Google for most expensive keyword in Overture.

THAT is how you know if a phrase is competitive.

[James_Dale]

I have a number 8 listed site on the big G for a keyphrase with 25 dollars (yep, dollars) per Overture click.

[Travel]

what fun- here are a two of my personal ones- If only I could claim a few I have worked with ...

5 of 1,870,000
1 of 727,000

[mifi601]

25$?! what's the KW?

oh i forgot

#2 of 107K

[Craig_F]

Single keywords:

#1 of about 34,800,000
#1 of about 7,240,000
#7 of about 672,000,000

[James_Dale]

I know of one Overture keyphrase which is $32.51 per click at the moment! Totally insane bids :))

Has anyone ever heard of a more ridiculous ROI effort?

[Shak]

$50 all the time on Overture for "mesothelioma"
