What's a good monthly search volume to target? I've been targeting 6-10 thousand searches a month for a keyword. I don't want to target something that's way to competitive. Do any of you have any recommendations? I want to make as much money as I can.
 


try to find the competitive pages instead search volumes

it is better to be in the first page even the search number is less than 1000 coz you get 50% traffic to your blog
 
^^^ what? ^^^^

no fucking clue what %50 traffic to your blog means but i think he's getting at that the competitive terms are that way for a reason... they convert well..

id say you are on a good track with the medium search volume terms and should shoot to snap up all the low competition keywords you can with decent volume..
 
Thanks for the replies! So what search volume is considered a "low competition" keyword? Also, what's a good # of results to target for a keyword? I mean, if there's a keyword returning over a million results, that would probably be pretty tough to get a # spot on the Google. I usually go by Google's exact match to figure this stuff out.

Thanks

I'd also love to know peoples opinions on this. I would say I am generally targeting search terms in this range and above, but I am just using this as a guide, and then checking to see how stiff the serp competition is, and i place more importance on that for sure.

I get this, but at some point the ROI time-wise gets pretty low for some low-search terms, even when it's really easy to rank. time is also an investment!


check SEO indicators like backlink number and RELEVANCY to see how easy it would be to compete in serps for keywords. I've seen terms with 80k+ searches/mo, with weak competition. I'd say that's definitely on the high end im-H-o, but I'm not expert at SEO so I'm sure others would be able to compete better (and have a different definition of "weak competition.")



i will suggest to research on keywords try this https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

hurr-durr.

Obviously you're already past this. I've been using SEO Quake toolbar (which is free) and finding it extremely helpful in quickly gauging serp competiton. I'd suggest adjusting the prefs to show PR, yahoo LD, and SEMrush traffic, and take out most of the other inline values for searches otherwise it gets super boated and yahoo will bitch. you'll see what i mean if you install it.

hope that helps.

Thanks for the tip! I'll check that plugin out tonight :)
 
WebCEO is probably the best tool I know to analyze your keywords' potential because it also checks how many people have the keyword in their <TITLE> tag, a very important factor from Google's point of view. Overall it's an amazing software if you're doing SEO.

However the sad part is the cost. 49$ for 3 months. If anyone knows a free tool that can bulk-check a bunch of keywords for "Keyword in <TITLE>", please let me know!

Hey, you can check this free with the Google operator allintitle. For instance, I just tried allintitle: "web work" and it shows me there's about 69,000 sites that have the "web work" keyword in the Title. The only bad thing is you can't do this with bulk keywords. It would be a good manual way of doing things though.

BTW. Here's a full list of ALL of the Google operators you can use :)

I wasn't able to get it to work with a proxy so far, if you don't mind risking getting your ip google banned feel free to use it. If you can get it working with a proxy please help me out :-)
