let's forget about all the shiny tools and let's not over complicate things

What is your minimum main keyword criteria for a site using keyword tool and ranking for adsense?

would you make a site based on a global search total of 1,000 per month and cpc of $1 - is that the minimum criteria? If first competition wasn't too bad i.e. mainly low pr sites with not a lot of backlinks and not well optimized for the keyword - would you go for it? Assume the keyword has a decent click through rate for the purposes of this example.

I probably would go for it, 99% of the high search emds are gone so although these low search keywords won't yield big bucks, they should make a profit after some time.

Is this correct?

Please relay your minimum acceptable criteria for main keyword selection

thank you, much love,

    I usually try and work out how much I will get based on an estimated amount of traffic for gaining #1 spot. I usually try and go for keywords that work out to around $10 a day on micro niche sites.

      well, there is no guarantee you will make first spot

      I focus heavily on search total, cpc and competition and try not to get too bogged down with other things

      would people go with a 1,000 gobal search term with cost of above 1 dollar per month with low competition or is that too small time?
