Help me understand what is meant by 'niche'

Hey guys,

I understand why positioning within a specific niche is beneficial; its easier to draw traffic, gain authority, dominate a space etc.

But.. if you are able to identify enough low competition keywords that you believe you can rank for, how much does it really matter?

i.e.

I want to create a website selling DVDs. I've managed to identify several keywords with low difficulty and intend to write articles around them (i.e. 'best 80s sci-fi films', 'best black and white comedys', etc).

I would end up with a website full of articles which ought to rank and draw in traffic, which I would hope to redirect to DVD sellers. However in this instance, my 'niche' would be pretty broad - basically I'm just selling DVDs.

Although I'm not really drilling down that specifically, would this still be a viable strategy for building a affiliate marketing website or is there something I'm missing?

Legit Reviews

The google review thing is insane I have gotten 2 legit verified reviews that i ask client to screenshot and observe goolge not post them, pretend like they never happened and when i sent them the image a policy message was sent . As I was browsing through the google forum a lot of ppl are getting hit with legit reviews being removed. While all this is going on i have observe a company go from 12 reviews to 65 reviews in a two month period with some stuff that dont make sense on some of them. Seems like a new business or profile is being limited while aged accounts can have a free for fall but who really knows. Still waiting for a resolution on a if any. submitted by /u/Ok-Bowl-6167 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/zkbfgDH

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

7 SEO Lessons I've Learned in 2025 (So Far) - From Building a Competitor Analysis Tool

Hey r/SEO , I've been spending a lot of time lately building a competitor keyword research tool (more on that below!), and it's really forced me to dig deep into how SEO works today . Here are some of the key lessons I've learned – hopefully, they're helpful to you too: Keyword Gaps Are Gold: It's not enough to just know what keywords your competitors rank for. You need to know what they rank for that you don't . This is where the real opportunities lie. Focusing on these "gap" keywords has been a game-changer for my own site. (This is actually why I built the tool – to make finding these gaps easier). Relevance > Volume (Sometimes): High search volume is great, but relevance is even more important. A keyword with 100 searches per month that's perfectly aligned with your niche and audience is often more valuable than a keyword with 10,000 searches that's only tangentially related. I've seen much better results targeting tho...
