NooB - I am doing Keyword research from 2 days - But still in confusion how to pick right keyword

This is a terrible tip to someone asking for help ...

you should be ashamed of yourself

also, here is what I do, I think of what keywords people would use to find a solution to a problem my product will help them with. Then I cruise over to google, search those keywords, click on "show options" then click on "wonder wheel" link down on the left

That gives me other keywords for the same topic people are searching for and will give you some great ideas to give you LASER targeted traffic

Use that with some of the other previous tips and you should see good results.

Good Luck

To anyone interested in keyword research do not follow the advice above. To say "if there are less than 100,000 sites found than there isn't much competition" is way too simplistic and not true.

What matters is the SEO strength of the sites on the first page for the keyword you want to rank for regardless of wether there are 10 million results or 10,000

Depending on the keword you could find it easier to rank for one that has 1 million results than one that has 100,000

Yeh, i have market samurai as well as micro niche finder too.... But i consider the laser targeted buyer keywords..even with 20 searches per month It is pretty well for about 10 niches...Hope you understand!

1. I prefer the raw keyword. I base my articles directly off what I learn from Market Samurai. I will add additional words before or after, depending on the need to make it natural sounding.

2. We are talking about writing articles to drive traffic. You can write your articles to generate interest and excitement to buy. In your example "Premature Ejaculation" you could be clinical, or excited. Clinical will not create clicks. Hit their emotional hot buttons, inflame their desire to have change. Don't worry so much about freebie seekers. Discuss the value of the solution, which should lead them to understand "paying".

3. Not really sure I understand your question. For an article, if the phrase is getting over 1000 searches per month, and the phrase has articles on the first page of Google, I'm going to take the time to write a few articles and submit them to article directories, and build a few backlinks to see if I can unseat someone on page 1.

4. You should be able to find plenty of article topics/keyword phrases in Market Samurai by stepping sideways through your keywords. In other words, open up a phrase you find promising and re-run keyword research based on that phrase. You will find more associated phrases you can keep adding to your list. Make sure you click the box for Google Search Keywords, which will widen the scope of the keyword research.


Now to address a few differences of opinion with Evan, even though there is nothing wrong with his plan.

10,000 competing web pages means nothing. The top 10 could be highly optimized and heavily backlinked. 100,000 competing web pages means nothing. The top 10 could be poorly optimized, and have limited backlinks. The only thing 10,000 competing web pages tells me, it is a smaller niche, and likely to have less traffic.

5000 searches per month makes sense for a website theme, but not for an article. I can knock out a 400 to 600 word article in 20 to 30 minutes. If I can produce 100 visitors per month to my sales page from that 20 to 30 minutes, I will likely get at least one sale. That can translate to $20 to $50 for month one. Then again next month.... It is a very good return on investment to write articles for lower search volumes.

I will agree I would not build a campaign around anything with a small search volume, but an article or two?
