What specifically are you struggling with in regards to keyword research? If it's too hard, there are lots of people here on the forum that will do it for you for $10 or so.

Don't make it harder than it is - step away from that description that you don't understand and look at some simple keyword research tutorials like

How To Do Keyword Research - The Beginners Guide to SEO

Not my site but it's a good overall explanation of keyword research.

I think people have trouble with keyword research because they expect to have a formula that provides "exact" results. Keywords are your best guess based on the information you find.

There is no one way to find the best keywords - you find a method that works for you and that you understand and that's good enough to get started. When a product tells you find keywords with XXX searches or XXX competing sites - consider those numbers a guideline rather than a strict requirement. Sometimes the ratios work even when the numbers aren't quite there.

ok now guys if im new to this is this the best thing to start with or do you guys know anything that is better for learning techniques for newbies. am I OK to continue with this or should i use something else first to learn?

Peter if you are building A100KB sites I suggest you follow Michaels keyword research procedure as outlined in the course.

His keyword research is a little different because of the type of keywords you are looking for and also because you are considering the CPC for each keyword. If you are having trouble with it then send Michael an email he is really good with customer service. You might also want to consider joining the Adsense 100k Blueprint forum as you will get a lot of help in there.

thanks Sheryl can you provide link to the form ill join under your referral if they have one.

Peter, I'm learning right along with you. I struggled because I thought I had found a golden niche and when I learned how to do keyword research, I found out that my money maker got a whopping 36 searches per month. Sure, I could be #1 in Google, but no one would find me.

Then I got more frustrated because everythiing I have any sort of expertise in has a flooded market. I did a lot of digging and I think I've finally found something.

What are you using to do your research? I downloaded the trial of Market Samurai although I'm not convinced I'll buy it yet.

I have Market Samurai trial and keyword elite 2.0 I dont know if Elite is as good but I bought it before, so i might as well try it

You may also want to consider several years down the road. Those large keywords that everyone are so scared of, the ones that get the large traffic with the "big dogs" sitting at the top, they are not impossible to achieve, with some of the payouts being well worth the wait. So while you're working towards the long tail phrases for the short term profits, keep a constant trickle put towards those main keywords. One day, in a few years from now (which is much closer than you think), you may find yourself sitting on something very valuable. Or at least something powerful. Building authority, or at least an attempt, in at least one main niche, with the future in mind, couldn't possibly hurt a thing...

But I guess it's not like everyone is on a mad dash to hit all of those long tale terms, leaving many of the choice terms alone, for someone willing to work. So never mind, no one stands a chance...

You're young and intelligent, don't cut yourself short. And Don't throw your money away. "Watch" some of the leaders, closely, then do it better. It's not that they're smarter than you. Funny thing about the Internet, most everything is an illusion. You can be whomever or whatever you desire, if you desire.

Good luck on that blueprint

look for a user named bfas on here. He's the creator of the program and he answers any questions anyone has about the program either through a topic or through PM.

Pretty sure he can help you out.

thanks guys!

At first, I didn't understand keyword research too! What I did was look at YouTube videos and some of the free ones really helped me out a lot.

I would suggest building a long term plan. Outsource your keyword research. Then build many sites every month, and expect great returns 1 to 2 years down the road. Until then, relax and continue to build.

Thanks all for the good advice, and kind words re: A100k.

Peter, if you're stuck on keyword research or any other area, you're welcome to PM me and we'll figure it out.

Unfortunately, there's going to be some time & effort involved if you want to succeed with this - or most any other - business plan. But what you'll get in return is a strong, sustainable business. Autoblogging does not have long-term viability, especially after the "Farmer" update.

I had similar problems to you and I have found that Traffic Travis helps a lot. The price is right in my opinion, FREE. They do have a paid version but the free one does everything I need.
