this is the one of most elaborate tut on KW research.

ok, the OP gave us his metrics for "good" keywords based on monthly "searches"

but how about "good" metrics on the competition side??

Here's mine:

for phrase search "keyword": not more than 100,000

intitle:"keyword": 10-15 search pages (1000)

inurl:"keyword": 10-15 search pages (1000)

I don't know if this is a good metric and I am getting around $20 to $30 on one website with this metric. niche is technology. (not using any EMD and the platform is blogger.com with custom domain)

It depends on the amount of searches. If a keyword has 100,000 searches, it's worth perusing if it only has 200,000 exact results. However, if it only has 1,000 searches with that many results, then its too tough.

An old thread brought back up... But wow, this was very interesting indeed!

I have a question I'd like to ask anyone who has experience with adsense and MNS. Using the OP's method, I have managed to find a keyword that costs around $35 per click.

Using Google's KW tool it has:
- High adwords competition,
- 2900 Exact global monthly searches
- 1600 exact local monthly searches

When doing Google search for KW it has:
- 57,200,000 results
- 78,600 exact results ("KW")
- 6,520 all in title results (allintitle:"KW")
- 4,590 all in url results (allinurl:"KW")

Is this KW worth going after? What do you think the chances of getting to the top are?? There doesn't appear to be any authority sites in the list.

Do the top 3 sites have the keyword in the title, url, desc, etc?

 

[sitemaster8]

Do the top 3 sites have the keyword in the title, url, desc, etc?

Searching - KW
Site1- title:yes, url:yes, desc:yes -> 13 times in source
Site2- title:no, url:no, desc:no -> not in source at all
Site3- title:yes, url:yes, desc:yes -> 11 times in source



Searching - "KW"
Site1- title:yes, url:yes, desc:yes
Site2- title:yes, url:yes, desc:yes
Site3- title:no, url:no, desc:yes

Searching - allintitle:"KW"
Site1- url:yes, desc:yes
Site2- url:yes, desc:no
Site3- url:yes, desc:yes

Searching - allinurl:"KW"
Site1- title:yes, desc:yes
Site2- title:yes, desc:no
Site3- title:yes, desc:yes

Thanks macdonjo3 for answering my question!

I think you should be fine with that keywords. However, don't put all your eggs in one basket. Try a few keywords.
