I need a refresher on keyword research for adsense
- SEO |
Here is what I think I know using googles keyword tool in adwords (I don't want to use a paid tool):
1. Change match type to EXACT/LOCAL
2. Look for long tail keywords that get search volume over 800 for CPC of at least 2.00 meaning we should get about 1/2 of that. (I realize this is subjective as to what numbers and CPC to look at). I look at google and spyfu to check this...see below I'm confused here.
3. Check on page 1 of google for that term to see how hard to rank check for PR/number of links to page and domain (PR of 3 and under with 100 links or less, newer sites 1 year or less is easier to rank)
4. So combined 5 keywords I am looking for around 5000 exact local search volume for the microniche...of course if I find high paying words I can go for less.
Here is where I am confused:
1. Google keyword tool shows CPC alot higher than SPYFU in many instances...so should I go with googles CPC to get an idea of what I might get??
2. Under traffic estimator in googles keyword tool...is that a good barometer to show number of clicks daily if I were in position 1??
3. Is Adwords the other side of Adsense...meaning the people bidding/buying adwords are advertising on our sites?
4. Does the cost of the click change based on position in google of webpage. I had a site that was in the top 5 paying more per click to me then it moved down and it started paying much less?
5. In Spyfu...it shows number of clicks per day and then cost per day but to me that means take number of clicks per day times cost per click and the math should work out (as it does in googles keyword tool) but in Spyfu it doesn't at all....should I even be looking at this. To me this means if cost is 100.00 per day to advertiser and I am in position 1...I should get about 50.00 day (give or take..I number that is a mystery). Am I looking at that part wrong??
I want to just use googles keyword tool to do my keyword research...I know there are tons of other software out there to buy, I have done that, I have micro niche finder and I found it just as easy to use googles keyword tool.
I just want to know if I am missing something.
