First Hello everyone My name is Oren I'm new to WF.

I have trouble to understanding how to evaluate new information competition.
I read some articles saying look with "..." But ordinary people are not looking with "...".
Please can someone help me?

The best tactics i use for keyword research is Google Adwords Keyword tool..... Its really helpful for me.... even it gives all the information you require and also provides you relevant keywords both long tail as well as short tail. Just go with it....

Basically, looking for an exact match tells you how many pages are there for exactly the same phrase. You are right that people rarely enter "search term", but then the less the number of pages, the greater your chance to rank for your long tail keyword. Here's a perfect example: compare the number of searches for: dog training and "dog training", training your dog and "training your dog", training your dog not to bark and "training your dog not to bark", training your dog not to bark at your friends and "training your dog not to bark at your friends". Now tell yourself which of the long tail keywords would you target?

I hope that the moderator forgives me those dog training phrases here, but they are here really for illustration purposes only.
