In general, what is the minimum Google keyword "average search volume" that you consider or take into account for SEO purposes for "KW's"? Is it 1000 or 2000 searches? And what about advertiser competition: less or equal than 0.8? I am confused! Thank you
I take any keywords with search volume into account. As long as it doesn't say 'Low' for search volume then I consider it worthwhile to target that keyword. Of course I put more focus on the higher volume keywords. Sometimes a certain page is only relevant for a few terms and some have quite low search volume, but that is still quality relevant traffic.
Depends on the project. I'll take low volume for long tail any day, if it's not too competitive. I use other tools for competition research. The google decimal means nothing to me.
My personal approach? I track (and try to optimize for) keywords that, per WordTracker, get at least 25 searches a day. That's my cutoff. Yours might be 10 ... or 1,000 ... or whatever suits the nature of your website and the words you are targeting.
This totally depends on what your aims and objective are for your website the type of site you have and what your trying to get out of your website. Personally I go for any keyword that has over 20 searches a day using Wordtracker and GKT. 30x25= 750 searches however both tools use different data.
It really depends on how localized the business is. I have optimized pages for keywords with less than 100 average monthly search volume. If you are a small local company, such as a handyman, and can easily rank number one for the keyword (because of no real competition). You have 100 potential leads every month. For a national company, this simply isn't worth it.
