I have been madly searching key words mad. I must not be very intuitive. I have finally found something I think fits one of my passions.

However it one of the tools I'm utilizing is making me question whether its good or not.

The google adwords keyword tool says the average search volume is 27k

But when I Google Trends version of Free Wordtracker it says competition is over 5 million and actual visitors is for a number one position is 111.

However when I do a Google search and look at the Firefox Seo results I see the following I have them listed in order from #1 on page down:

#1 | PR: 3 | Age: 01-2001 | del.icio.us Page Bookmarks: 1 | Diggs: 0 | Y! .edu Links: 2,450 | Y! Page Links: 0 | Y! .edu Page Links: 0 | Page blog links: - | Yahoo position: 7

In light of all the above is this a good money making keyword even though it is not a long tale key word for newbie like me or anyone to begin with. Forgive me for not giving up my Keyword, but if it is a good one well...

If this makes even the slightest bit of difference it is in an area of great interest and passion and one in which I have 30 plus years experience.

    Hi Tom,

    From the data you posted it appears that you have found a term that does not have much competition. It's difficult to tell if has any commercial value without knowing the keyword or general niche you are targeting.

    The AdWords Keyword Tool will give you an indication of commercial value based on what it cost for ad space and how competitve the term is compared to other keywords.

      Thank you for you reply.

      Well I'm going to try to do this without giving away to much. I have alway had a passion of getting the best quality everything I purchase at the best price. For instance I found a new coat for $25 via one of my buying strategies and retails for over $300.

      Also I built a road bike (Bicycle) for $800 from a frame and components that if I had purchased it already built in a shop would have cost up to $2500.

      So I want to combine my knowledge getting the most bang for your buck with ways to make more money so that people don't only save more, but they also make money.

      I figure in our especially in our current economy everyone needs and in good times they want pay less for the things they need and want and make more money too.

      So I want to provide information on how to both as well as introduce people to business oportunities that I'm either participating in and/or an affiliate of.

      I hope this helps.

      I have also been a single dad with full custody of my son and daughter for 18 years so I was thinking about targeting that demographic, but either I have not used the right keywords or that is not as good market as I would have expected. Which surprises me, because I do not know one single parent that does not need all the above more then the average person.
