Keywords: How low do I go?
- SEO |
I would think it would depend on how much revenue you would receive from PPC or another form of advertising?
Would an insurance related term that gets 500 exact searches a month be enough, or would that be considered a waste of time? I know 500 searches for insurance would provide more revenue opportunity than 500 searches for toothpaste.
What is the minimum amount of searches I should look for before I spend time, money, and effort on a web site, or blog?
I've read anywhere from 8000 to 20000 minimum exact searches per month before many here would do a site on a subject.
I've used a lot of the tools I have found on this forum already to do some research on subjects I have been thinking about do some web sites on.
However, when I do this research, I'm finding many of the first page web sites I would be competing against, with 8000 to 20000 searches, already have 1,000, 5,000, 10,000 plus backlinks, and hundreds, if not thousands of pages. Must be a lot of readers of this forum

I did find one keyword where the #1 google site had 15,000 links, and the #2 google site only had 268 links, and #3 had 43 links.
Seems you could rank at #2 or #3 easily here. But, this keyword only had a monthly exact search total of 3100 searches. It also had a google suggested bid amount of less than a dollar.
Seems to me the more people that create web sites and blogs, the deeper into the long tail keyword pool you must dive. Just how low do I go?
