You should brainstorm what markets you can dominate. Some smaller ones that come to mind are 5 card stud, omaha hi/lo, etc.
If you can locate a market like that with less competition, you'll have an easier time getting traffic from SE's.

Not to sound like I am being a push over but why tell someone not to go for something cause it will be difficult? poker reviews and poker strategy are not impossible terms...obv poker or online poker would be hard but poker reviews???? A little bit of time and some work and it is possible.
My thing is this...why shoot yourself short by going after the non competitive terms only to realize that they suck as far as traffic goes? There is no problem obtaining ranks in a not so competitive market but ultimately we all want to make money...
So you shorten your goals to be obtainable, give yourself easy targets and where does that get you...It gets you six months of trying to make money off of "easy" terms and having to start over with something else when you realize its not happening.
My suggestion to the person here - if you want to target certain words and phrases great...the best of luck to you, have more than one goal in mind and start reading than keep reading.
