Few searchs x highly competitive
-
How to do when all of our keywords are highly competitive ( more than 60% seomoz tool ), and the monthly searchs are very few.
One example:
flv converter - 63% - 18k search/month
Is there any advice?
For US, all the keywords are very competitive....

Do not just limit yourself to the high competition head terms if you feel they are going to be hard to rank for. I know for a lot of those video conversion terms you have to go up against competitors who are selling software and people who are affiliates so it is quite competitive.
My advice is to target only a few head terms, and focus more on mid term terms and long tail traffic.
Go an get a blog set up and post a few relevant posts each month about cool things you can do with FLV converters or random other things which are related to the niche that is a great way to generate traffic fro the long tail.
Also do some analysis on social media and Q&A sites I am sure you will find areas where users are asking questions about FLV converters lend a hand and build links this way

What to do about one site dominating search results? (multiple pages ranking)?
Anybody have thoughts on dealing with search results where the same site gets listed multiple times? "weebly vs wix" is one example (same site #1-3, repetitive articles, not crazy high authority), but I see this now and then. I know Google likes variety, so it's weird for me to see results like this dominating search results. Thoughts? What gets these sites to take over the top rankings for a specific term? Any way to rise up in this situation, outside of the usual? Any tips on duplicating this kind of success?

So What's Up With Those Crappy Search Results?
I used to rank for some keywords now I've been outranked by crappy websites. But what amazes me most is that among the top 10 results for a particular keyphrase, 3 of these results point to websites that are no longer online! Worst than that, these websites have to backlinks! So how come 404 pages / non-existing websites rank higher than I do? Is Google loosing it or are they trying to create so much confusion in the hope that website owners will turn to Adwords?

Keyword - Competition between competitors
So, I'm about 2-3 weeks into my subscription and see a renewal coming. I love the information I'm getting - but I really want to maximize my capabilities with these tools. Any article/blogs or forum post suggestions that I should read would be awesome, right now I'm still in that phase where i see lots of cool things - but have no idea to fully use them to really give me that even bigger boost. My First Question is - There are some keywords, that I climb and sometimes slip. But overall a competitor and i flip flop between 15-22 range for it. What would be a good way for me to really add that extra push to throw me down into the top ten and leave them in the dust?.. Also on the Keyword topic - There are a lot of keywords they probably rank for that I don't, what is the best way to go about identifying keywords they may targeting/have a good presence in that I'm not aware of. I do have a site that is on multiple newspapers, and .gov sites. Among other things... This has already proven to be very good for me. But I'm 99% sure I have a few/lot of leaks, that if they were plugged - We would see a lot of good things come from those results.
