20 SEO-savvy professionals on first page of Google & their keywords

You do not need to be “CNN Money” to be ranked on the first page of Google for a finance-related search, nor “Zillow” for a real estate query.  The right keywords, coupled with off-page & on-page SEO, can land you on the first pages of search engines.  Two key considerations when selecting SEO keywords are search volume and competition from other sites. Popular keywords with high volume  often come with strong competition (eg “insurance”).  One strategy is to focus on lower competition “long tail” keywords where there are higher chances of ranking well on search engines (eg “what is personal liability insurance”).  While the search volume of a single long tail keyword may not be very high, in aggregate long tail keywords make up the majority of all search queries.  Here’re 20 SEO-savvy professionals in finance, insurance, accounting & real estate, and search terms which got them on the first page of Google (as of July 14 2012).
