ok i've been doing some keyword research and i have a few questions bfore i make a big mistake.

how do you define a good keyword? i know it must have at least 3 words to be a more targeted word but how do you define if there is to much competition? is it the broad search or the exact phrase search? os some other factor?

    In doing research for my clients and myself, these are my keyword (not niche phrase) guidelines, which are by no means written in stone:

    ~over 1000 searches monthly using Google Adwords Keyword Tool set on "broad" (of course, the more the better, to a point)
    ~two-to-four words

    I don't do research on keyword competition. If you have a stellar niche phrase, you shouldn't have to worry about your individual keyword competition.

    That's just my two-cents!

    The method that's worked for me is Josh Spaulding's keyword research method that is described here: Keyword Research Simplified!

    I think that market research is so much more important than keyword research personally (although I do do some KW research, it isn't near as intensive as market research). Too many people worry too much about traffic. You can find a keyword that gets 2-10 clicks a week and converts 1 in 4. You could also find a keyword that gets 1,000 clicks a day and doesn't convert at all....
