Even if so this never would help YOU to be competitive in top search query keywords you need to have established yourself as an expert in that keyword. that usually takes up to a decade or MORE of most intense professional work to achieve - thousands of pages on that keyword topic from all ponts of view and hundred thousand or more us$ investment to create such quality content to stay top 10 in top traffic keywords. most of us have started small and kept on working for years and decades ... one day you find yourself in such a top keyword way UP and traffic goes in ten thousands per day ... no work = no honey! no work = no money! the only keyword lists that circulate are from minor search engines and absolutely irrelevant to G or any other SE. to search for high traffic keywords and THEN to start creating content in that topic is self-raping. to be successful you have to BE GOOD. Good= expert on global level! TOP, knowledgeable in all ways. even multilingual in same topic sometimes to cater to multilingual global society.
Sorry hans but you overestimate what it takes to be competitive. There is no way that the process has to take up to a decade or more. With the right strategies you can be competitive in a year or less. Nor does it take thousands of pages or a hundred thousand dollars. I don't know why you would dispute the importance of keyword research either. It seems like you don't know much about seo. yesiwillbuy, you should try the Google AdWords Keyword Tool. It will give you approximate search volume on Google and their search network. You might also want to try these other free keyword research tools.
vansterdam you are probably right when you say "It seems like you don't know much about seo." it seems that to me as well. these past days I only have some 19'000+ unique visitors per day monthly average that is far from my goal and also below the potential of my current 3 dedicated servers running for a single site. with an advertising budget of 0 cents all past 11+ years of publishing, you could have done much better I am sure. I also have only some 100+ top 10 SERPS across 106'342 total Total Search Strings that where used ( this months march till yesterday to find some 7871 Total Entry Pages ). that means that I have a few pages NOT found by means of search queries. which proves beyond any doubt that "It seems like I don't know much about seo" - else ppl would find every single page as a result of my SEO. also my competing pages in my higher traffic pages usually are only up to 10-30 million pages on some of the top 10 SERPS. true SEO experts certainly can get top 10 SERPS among a much stronger competition of many hundred million competing pages or even billion pages hence I keep learning - my way. I have nothing to sell at all and my G adsense revenue is even less than 10'000$ / month. hence there is room to improve across my entire publishing work. also my annual traffic growth could be much better I look at some still existing old access_log stats and see that 2003 I only had a little more than 208'497 annual visitors, 2 years later in 2005 only some 1'867'168 annual visitors and last year some 6 millions uv. hence my annual traffic-growth rate - based entirely on my SEO also could be much better .... I am still a learning old man. but nothing to worry for you - I am learning and improving at my "old-man" pace! I also have other priorities in my life besides www and SEO. I am sure i could learn a lot from you! but I am in a totally different world publishing and competing and what may sound right for your heart may be different for me. for now and all past many years, I usually have to be happy to BE ONLINE at all, as www connectivity still is a major issue on my side of the globe! daily power off and www disconnection are normal here. hence progress limited as you see. I am happy to see that you appear to do much better. good for you!
Sorry but that post was frickin' hilarious. This guy is asking about finding the most searches keywords in Google and you're busy going off on a rant about how great your website is. I don't believe one word you say. I had a quick look at your signature links and blog. All I can say is: absolute crap. Your stats tool must be broken lol. Go brag about your website to someone who gives a shit old man.
vansterdam I strongly disapprove the abusive language you use in your 3 PM and recommend you stop that soonest as well as the various threats you verbalized. I thought that only 1 red rep is possible from one account to one thread to same person - since you gave 2 red reps within minutes for this thread here I assume you used 2 different IDs. You happy now after the 2 reps - fine! I you wish to continue, I recommend using direct eMail rather than via DP forum. My eMail is in my public profile.
Don't give me -rep just because I don't care about your junk website. Then you wouldn't have to worry about me contacting you at all. I was just trying to help the OP of this thread and you decided to go off bragging about how your website is soo great. And yes you will be hearing from me again via PM and direct mail. This is far from over between us. By the way, I only gave you one -rep. Obviously someone else didn't like your bullshit bragging post that had nothing to do with this thread. I don't blame them.
Nobody is interested in Wordtracker.com? I thought when you search for something you like or an expert in such field, will probably come to know good Keywords using Wordtracker. What do you suggest guys? Thanks
Google is so kind to show most searched keywords in their Hot Trends: google.com/trends/hottrends For example, for today: 1. adam lambert mad world 2. maersk alabama 3. justin gimelstob 4. o0hex8quzqe 5. earthquake los angeles 6. jamie waylett 7. all she wants to do is dance 8. ebaumsworld 9. tears for fears mad world 10. blessing of the sun etc. It shows top 100 keywords.
you can also buy a list of top paying adsense keywords from adsenseheaven.com. It doesn't give you the traffic volume but it is another list that gives me keyword ideas.
some good sites are there providing keyword solutions for free..they will track your site and suggest suitable keywords...u can use these kinds of services.
