Keyword research question

As a general rule, how much is too much competition when you are exploring a new market, by doing keyword research?

For example if you use wordtracker(free) and a particular keyword has 50 searches a day. and the competition at "google search" is 50,000

Is there a rule or guideline that can narrow it down to when to persue or when to forget a certain keyword?

For now I'm mainly focusing on article marketing.

We were thinking the exact same thing I asked this same question 2 minutes after you did.

He he he

cool. Hopefully we find out soon.

Never mind. I will piggy bank on hawkes thread.

I decide myself first i search $keyword
then "$keyword"
then allinurl:"$keyword"
at last allintitle"$keyword"


It gives me necessary information about competition generally.
