Can we talk about keyword research? Or am I doing this right?
I'm posting this because I want to make sure I am doing keyword research the correct way.
Here is how I do keyword research.
Starting from already having the niche.
I use Google adwords keyword tool. Type in my keyword. The list of keywords come's back.
Using match type "broad.
Then I find a keyword that has relatively low numbers under "Local Search Volume."
Open tabbed browser and type that term into Google with quotes.
See if there are 50,000 or below websites with that exact match.

Anyway that is how I have been doing keyword research. Now I have questions.
1) Is that a correct way to do keyword research for both articles and websites?
I create auto-blogs occasionally using Wordpress. Because content is obtained via an rss feed, I find it difficult to do keyword research in a way.
I mean you could break the blog up into categories or pages and name each one (one of your long-tail keywords) and add certain beneficial keywords to your seo plug-in (platinum seo). But when you pull in content with none of the keywords in the titles of articles- would this hurt your ranking? Or would it even matter?
I would appreciate anyone chiming in here, as I almost feel like keyword research may be "the be end and end all to IM"
You might not like what I say - but I believe it.
Build it, make money, then build some more
