I know, I know....

I should have this down by now...

Truth is I still don't feel very comfortable in doing this.

I'm starting a new Amazon Product Review Site....

I need to figure out the best way to find a keyword to build around my product.

This KW will go in the URL and Everything else.

How I've been doing it...

1. I look for a product to sell in Amazon (example: gas grills)

2. I then try find a good Target Keyword to turn into a URL (example: Best Gas Grill.com or Gas Grill Reviews.net)

****the problem*****

I"M NOT SURE I HAVE A GOOD KEYWORD... EVER!!!!

I SPEND HOURS LOOKING FOR A GOOD KW (and I even have Market Samurai...which is supposed to make this process faster...so I Thought)


>Obviously I would like to find a target KW that has:

1. 100 visitors a day

and...

2. Competition is low or no good


I feel this is the most important step in the whole IM game...

Any Suggestions... and any good guides to doing this right?

    Once you find a group of keywords you're interested in, use the Firefox plug-in SEO for Firefox to determine the competition on the front page of Google. If you see a bunch of sites on the front page with low ranking, you're going to be able to make it onto the front page with no problems. If you see a lot of high-PR sites with a lot of backlinks, it's going to be tough to get onto the front page.

    I used to agonize over keyword research until I read a few posts on here. It's actually pretty easy once you get it. It just takes time to find the good ones.

    Like Argus, I don't understand your problem either. If you have a site about gas grills, obviously your base keyword is gas grill. You're just making this more complicated than it needs to be.

    Other words people might use: propane grill, gas cooker. I came up with those just thinking about it, without any tool.
