how to select a keyword?

Make sure they keyword is making money. Check to see if people are running ads for the keyword. You can google the keyword and if you see ads on the side then you know its a money keyword. It also should have low competition. Now it doesn't have to have low competition you can aim for high search volume keywords but make sure you have the funds to get it ranked.

Google keyword tool is the best one for check search volume. When you are going to select the keyword keep in mind the following things. From backlinko .com (Brian Dean)

When it comes to commercial intent, all of the millions of keywords out there can be placed into one of four categories:

Buy Now Keywords
These are keywords that people use minutes before making a purchase. People searching with Buy Now Keywords may literally have their credit card in their hand.
Here are words that tend to be part of Buy Now Keywords:
Buy
Coupon
Discount
Deal
Shipping

Real life examples of Buy Now Keywords are “Bluehost discount”, “Buy candles online” and “Custom t-shirts free shipping”.
As you might expect, these keywords convert like crazy. They may not get great search volume, but their sky-high conversion rate makes up for it.

Product Keywords
Product Keywords are searches that focus on a specific product category, brand name, or service. People searching for Product Keywords tend to be a bit earlier in the buying cycle than people using Buy Now Keywords.
In other words, they convert well…but not quite as well as Buy Now Keywords.

Product Keywords tend to include:
Review
Best
Top 10
Specific brand name (“Nike” or “Toshiba”)
Specific product (“Macbook Pro” or “Samsung Galaxy”)
Product category (“Wordpress hosting” or “tennis shoes”)
Cheap
Affordable
Comparison
Don’t be thrown off by terms like “cheap” and “affordable”. Believe it or not, keywords with the words “cheap” in them convert really well.
For example, someone searching for “cheap laptops” has already decided that they want a laptop…they’re just looking for a product in their price range.


Informational Keywords
The vast majority of keywords online are Informational Keywords. As you might imagine, people looking for information don’t tend to convert especially well.
That being said, you can’t ignore Informational Keywords because they make up such a huge chunk of the keywords in your niche.

Information Keywords tend to include words like:
How to
Best way to
Ways to
I need to
The best way to leverage Informational Keywords is to find keywords that have high search volume and low competition.
Then, get as much of that traffic as you can on an email list. That way, you’ll be the site on their mind as they’re ready to buy something.


Tire Kicker Keywords
Tire Kicker Keywords are searches that are VERY unlikely to convert now…or in the near future.
Here are a few examples words that tend to make up Tire Kicker Keywords:

Free
Torrent
Download
…for free
A keyword like “watch The Simpsons online free” is a classic Tire Kicker Keyword. Good luck getting that person to buy anything (or even click on an ad).
On the other hand, keywords like “Buy Simpsons TV episodes” (Buy Now Keyword), “Simpsons DVDs” (Product Keyword) or “How to watch Simpsons Episodes” (Informational Keyword) will convert relatively well.

First of all THANK YOU all for replying and helping me. I am working on a website, I have an e-book that I have uploaded. and I am working on content looking platform. Now i need more help my e-book is book that contains weight loss tips.
so please tell me on what keyword should i work? either on "weight loss" or weight loss tips" ?
"Weight loss" has high competition. On the other hand "Weight loss tips" has medium competition.
"weight loss" has approximate 21000 k traffic.
"weight loss tips" has approximate 11000 k traffic.
Please tell me which keyword should I chose? and also tell that how much time will it take to rank website on keyword "weight loss" on first page?

One word for me

Use SEO tool and find out Key word Density like

Google keyword

When looking for keywords, I would suggest using a lot of longer keywords as these are often easier to rank for. But also look at search volume as well because if the keywords don't have high volume (>100) then they wont bring in too much revenue.

First priority is to go for all the low competition long tail keywords and make sure you fully optimise your page for the long tail phrase.

There are plenty of keyword finding tool available which helps to find the best keywords for your website. Google Adwords is one of the best tool, there are few more you can Google it to find those.

Hopefully this helps.

Hi jessikaload,
