Question regarding # of global searches I should look for in my keyword?

JDAX23 · 07-03-2011, 12:49 PM

Hi, I have been doing a lot of keyword research as of late and I have a couple questions before I proceed.

1. Since I am new to this, I have heard different numbers of global searches I should be looking for when trying to find a good keyword. I would just like that to be clarified. Should it be a couple thousand, maybe like 12,000 or in upwards of 40,000 global searches.

2. Should I focus on just a single keyword or phrase, or should I try to target a few different words or keyword phrases?

3. Lastly, is it possible that after my site takes off in a couple months or years or whatever, that I then focus on more competitive keywords, or do I always use the same one or two I started with?

Thank you for your help in advance

If you need your single keyword to rank badly then go with that.Otherwise check the suggestion for long tail keyword and try to rank it before trying this tough keyword.

I suggest you to rather go for long-tail keywords. They get less searches than general keywords, keyword phrases but it's easier to rank your site for long-tail keywords.
