Bought EMD with 22,000 searches a month

Is this any good? Plan to monetise with AdSense. Am a total n00b.

It's a .net EMD, was wondering if 22,000 searches a month is considered a decent niche, not much competition.

Was it broad, phrase or exact.

Broad or exact? 22k isn't bad either way. You can probably make a few hundred, maybe a thousand a month off that if you monetize it correctly.

It depends on the niche, though. You might have one that gets maybe 1,900/month but converts well and is high ticket, so you could make a few thousand. If your 22k is for "killer whale vs great white shark" then you might not do as well.

  Sorry, excuse the n00biness. I don't know the difference between broad and exact. :confused:
  
  Thanks

  So it's 12,000 when in speech marks - does this mean exact?
  22,000 if not in speech marks - does this mean broad?
  
  Thanks

  Kiwiviktor8, hi
  
  You stated/implied the keyword gets 22,000 searches per month. You must've used a keyword tool to determine this, the most common being the Google Keyword Tool. This, however, gives 3 results for the number of searches: Broad, Phrase and Exact.
  
  The Exact search count is the one you want; this is the number that shows how many people typed the exact phrase/keyword when conducting a search. This is usally much lower than the other results.
  
  The "in speech marks" idea you're referring used to be the default method for verifying the "competition" of any given keyword; i.e. you type your keyword into Google in speech marks and see the number of results which are returned.
  
  I hope you do realise these are two different factors you're looking at:
  
  (i) searches: the number of times people type in given keyword(s) into a search engine
  (ii) competition: the number of sites competing to be number one for your keyword(s).
  
  Thanks

whatever program you use for locating the keyword should have the option of broad match (the keyword in any order) or exact match (the keyword exactly as the order is).

  Ah, I see. Thanks for that. I was using the Google AdWords tool.
  
  So it's 22,000 exact match, then.
  
  Thanks

Depends on the market's competitiveness (is that even a word??). That amount of searches in the weightloss niche will be very competitive whereas something that has no commercial intent and no AdWords advertisers and no CPA offers won't be as competitive, for example, free roadkill bird feathers. Ok, that wasn't the craftiest (is that even a word??) of examples but you get the idea.

I'd recommend you get the Stealth Keyword research tool thing WSO, it works very well for finding awesome keywords and is very affordable and newbie friendly!

Hope this helps

  Wow, thanks for all the replies guys, these forums are awesome.
  
  So I used the Google AdWords tool and found the 'exact search' tag in the drop-down menu. Turns out there are 3,600 exact searches, 12,000 phrase and 22,000 broad.
  
  Never mind, I guess that's still fairly good.
  
  There is very little competition in the niche, going by what I found when I chucked the keywords into Google.
  
  Thanks

  Has to be one of the most common mistakes made

  exact match domain
  
  .com is best, followed by .org and .net.... they're both pretty much the same.
  
  EMD's are great for ranking, google loves them.. like a woman, a good one is hard to find.
  
  Thanks

  @ danthony: the site isn't up yet, I just bought the domain today based on an idea I had for a flash application and the fact that there was very little competition in the niche and (I believed until very recently) 22,000 searches/month.
  
  When it is though, I'll PM ya.
  
  Thanks
