What's your baseline for number of searches?

When considering keywords for articles or other purposes, what's the minimum number of searches you look for in a day, month etc.?

Is 200 on Wordtracker a good number?

    Forget about WordTracker.

    QUOTE from their official page "All search terms are collected from the major metacrawlers - Dogpile and Metacrawler." (quote taken from About Wordtracker)

    Who the heck is using Dogpile and Metacrawler? A tiny-teeny fraction of the market that is close to statistical mistake.

    It makes almost no point to check this tool (and all tools that are based on WT results).

      What keyword research tool do you recommend?

      Unfortunately, overture is no longer an option as their URL now redirects to Yahoos small business site.

      Of course, there is the google adwords suggestion tool but that is specifically geared toward what competition you have in adwords for certain keywords and the average search stats given are less than enlightening. I find the adwords tool useful for telling me the popularity of keywords... if they're popular then they are more likely to be converting well

      Oh, and to the original poster... you have to remember that wordtracker results are NOT monthly stats but daily. So if the stats there say 200 searches then you're actually looking at around 6000 searches per month which is of course very respectable.
