Question:

I found when searching for EXACT MATCH on "keyword", there is only 200 per month vs. 27,000 for broad match. competition=10,000.

as a broad match, this looks good for me, but it sucks as exact match because 200 a month is terrible.

Should I be caring about exact match or just concentrate on broad match?
thanks

    exact match is more accurate and its what you should be looking at.

      that depends on what you're using it for.. if its for SEO, then no... phrase match is better.

    I use phrase match most of the time. Exact is too limiting and just doesn't pull enough.

    One important thing to remember.

    10,000 is NOT your competition.

    Only the sites on the front page are. You are only competing with 10 sites, not 10,000.

    You're going to fail. If you're afraid of failure then you do not belong in the Internet Marketing Business. Period.
