What is the MINIMUM Opportunity You'll Accept

I have read a lot of different ideas on this - some marketers claiming that you need over 1000 per month, or 5000 per month but I honestly believe it has to do with your niche market. If you are focusing on the make money niche then any good search term is going to be really competitive to try and rank for so it might be more advisable to go for long tailed keywords that have a lot lower number of searches.

That is just an opinion on my part though - I don't worry too much about keyword searches - I check forums to see if there is any interest in my topic and what sort of problems that niche market will have. Then I check on Google to see how many pages are in my niche, and I also check to see if there are any adverts on the search results page - learned to my detriment that "no sponsored" ads is not a good thing - it means there is no money in the keyword.

Will be interested to hear what others will say

I am selling Clickbank products.

For me, the minimum number depends on the extent to which I think it's a "buying keyword". Some generalised sort of term, regardless of its ease of ranking highly, is a radically different proposition from a keyword that identifies probable buyers, isn't it?

300 per month might actually be enough for me at one end of this spectrum (though I admit I haven't yet found one I've wanted to try that's quite as low as that), whereas at its other end I might want at least 5,000 per month.

Nobody should ever be using Squidoo, Hubpages, Blogspot or any other site they don't own and control themselves as their money page anyway, so that doesn't change it much.

Probably about 300 per month, for me, anyway. In theory it oughtn't to matter, but in reality I think I'd perhaps look a bit askance at fewer than 10 exact searches per day. And to go that low I'd want it be a hot buying keyword and to know that I can be the top-ranked site for it. (It's not all too likely, really, is it?).

It only costs $1 to buy a .info domain-name and try something out, assuming you already have hosting of some kind (or are willing to try it out on free hosting, perhaps). It's about risking the time and effort, not money, isn't it?

Depends on how I think the word will convert and the profit per item.

If it is a 10 dollar profit I may want 2000 plus searches a month for the main keyword.

If it is a 200 profit and competition is weak I may go as low as 100-200 searches a month.

Of course this is all on my own domains where multiple products are sold.

The nice thing about all this are there are many guidelines but you get to make the rules and often over time those will change depending on how well you can convert traffic.

Alexa Smith said it best >>> Nobody should ever be using Squidoo, Hubpages, Blogspot or any other site they don't own and control themselves as their money page anyway, so that doesn't change it much.

Eventually it will bite you ...

6000+ per month

It depends on the way you are going to make money with it.
If you want to insert PPC advertisements to your website, 1,000 visits per day is not good and it doest worth but if you are going to insert affiliate products on your web pages, 1,000 visitors per day is really good and can make hundred of dollars for you.
