Found keywords. Move on?

So i did my research on certain niches and found a few that seem pretty decent. All of the ones i have found are low competition ranging from 22,400 -74,000 global search per month (google keyword tool). I am going to buy two because i plan on making a content site and a web store. Should i be looking for better keywords to make my domain or just buy what i have found?

  • Depending on the niche, that sounds like a lot of monthly searches.

    Are you using "exact" searches for this? If so, you may find that there's a lot of competition and you may have problems ranking for this keyword.

    • i am searching in google keyword tool as if people were searchin in google. such as "buy ebooks"
  • I think what Peter is asking is are those numbers "exact" monthly searches or broad...in the Googles KW Tool.

    Those numers are fairly high to not have a reasonable amount of competition.
  • have you checked the Page Rank of the top 10 sites in SERPS? How many backlinks do they have?
  • I think it is important to check the competition in this case.

    Look for if this is any authority site on the 1st page.

    Also see how many of them have the keyword on the domain

    Best of luck
  • Yea, that is a high search volume, I hope you have checked out the competition before heading into this one.. The worst thing you can do is bite off more than you can chew.

    Check the first 10-20 results to get a rough idea on how you can rank here. Look for:

    -PR
    -Age
    -# of Backlinks to Page
    -# of Backlinks to Domain
    -Keyword in Title, Meta details

    Next, go in and actually explore some of the backlinks from the top contenders, where are they getting them from, how good are they really, etc.

    Devise a sound link building strategy that is about 2x more powerful than what you anticipate they are doing. (Not all indexed backlinks actually show up in the Yahoo/Google backlink checkers).

    Good luck.

    • Check out the tools at seobook.com You can download their toolbar for free. It toggles on and off with a click. When you turn it on you can run any Google search and all the info about every site will appear right under the listing on the page.

      DO read their supporting docs though so you know how to use it properly, and also how to interpret the data.

      - SEO SpyGlass Backlink Checker Software: X-Ray Your Competition

      here are all the link quality factors found in SEO SpyGlass:





  • first you need "
    local" not global
    and you need "exact" not broad

    also
    you need to check the competition on top 10
    if you have not done that you have NO IDEA what your competition is, so you saying these kws have "low competition" would not be accurate

    you need to really learn how to analyze the competition before you decide on the kws
    otherwise you are wasting your time
  • Market samurai is a good tool to check SEO competition as they can provide you your competitor backlink and their anchor text (what keyword they go with)
  • I think you need to see exact.

    You are looking at broad search. broad search is not a good way to do ur research.
