**chrishirst** · 11-01-2011, 07:20 PM

Depends what you are doing keyword research for.

PPC Campaign?
Products?
MFA?

Or?

**Jim Gillum** · 11-01-2011, 07:24 PM

And it depends on the keyword...
Take for example....spambot blacklist......
That would be a low competition key phrase....
Right?

The way I choose keywords is fairly simple. Either I choose specific, long-tailed keywords or I choose keywords that have little to no competition.

**bogdannb2005** · 11-02-2011, 06:58 AM

i understand now how it works. I don't use ppc campaings, only for building a website

Keywords are very important in SEO because your visitors will depend o that, suppose you have a new website and you selected keywords which has no demand in Google then its very difficult to get the visitors for the website and if you selected high demand then it takes so much time and effort for ranking a website. So when ever you are fgpoing for the research find the keywords. with good demand, high supply and medium competition and the most important things all keywords checked at the broad match category.

Less competitive, not long tailed and most relevant to your website.

I use google adwords keyword tool, and market samurai

**payment proof** · 11-11-2011, 09:55 PM

I also look at successful sites that are similiar to mine and see what keywords and keyword phrases they are using.

**Arkanoid** · 11-14-2011, 08:03 AM

I use only Google AdWords suggestion tool and SeoMoz keyword difficulty tool.

**stuart147** · 11-15-2011, 09:48 AM

I find the free Google keyword tool excellent for specific Amazon products and it has served me reasonably well. The only thing is the time required and it can be a bit tedious, so have to be focused and disciplined.

Well, doing proper keyword researches depends on lots of things, especially - the kind of product you're trying to promote. It was a problem for me also, so I hired three professional web-marketers and left all promo-tasks like that to them. Each business requires a Pro to succeed, doesn't it?

No, not always.

And he came to these forums to seek for a professional's opinion... did he not?

keyword research is one of the fundamental tools in seo. I use spyfu (paid one) google ads and seobook and word tracker for keyword research.

**schwaman** · 11-30-2011, 02:29 AM

Maybe Google keywords can help you know the details of the specific keywords, just like the search amount and competition extent.

**spa3212** · 12-02-2011, 12:38 PM

I am totaly agree with above post google keyword does have everything you need to decide the keyword, Just go for a long trail keyword if you want to get on top page in quick time no matter if the search volume is low.

**amitmax** · 12-03-2011, 05:48 AM

I think first you can get idea about keywords from your competitor's websites.So first analyze your competitor's website and then go for keyword research.Choose those keyword which have low competition and high traffic volume.
Thanks

**alexrabe01** · 12-03-2011, 06:34 AM

First we need to mind our business areas and after that we can analyse our competitor's website's and keywords what they are targeting and according to that we need to choose our best and niche keywords.

**masusha** · 12-06-2011, 06:11 PM

I always use Google keywords, it's maybe best service for this. Of course you should also learn your competitors and their optimization
