Search query with 14,020,000,000 results, can you be number one?
Filed under: Marketing by Sasha on March 22, 2008
There was discussion the other day between me and a friend of mine about what defines the saturated market online. I won’t go into details but my vision of saturation is simple; if you can’t get into top 10 on ALL search engines then the market is too saturated. When you read something like that the first question that comes to your mind is how to know if you can get into top 10 or not.
On of the first factors most of us will consider is certainly the number of results for a given search query. Some other factors include results with AllInTitle attribute, number of links Yahoo shows for top 10 results etc.
We all know what are the most saturated markets (pharmacy, poker, dating) but what about non profit keywords with a lot of results? What do I mean by that, well try typing in “a” as a search string into Google. There are 14,020,000,000 results. The biggest result set I have ever seen. If there is a query with more results please tell me.
So I wonder. Can you rank for this keyword? (or should I say keyletter 
).
I think that if a seo company could rank number one it could be a good proof to their clients.
What do you think?

I like the challenge. I’m just having fun trying to get Top 10 with 1 million!
