Does this keyword research look right to you? ( I even give away a free niche)

    Hey guys just need a little advise from you pros out there. I think (or hope) that I have the keyword research area down but I need some advice to see if i am doing this right.

    I was strolling through sitepoint.com and was looking for a good niche to dive into and came across the niche "acai berry" to I did a quick look on the amount of hits this exact keyword recieved and its around like a 18,000 or so but the competition is in the millions so i looked down the list and found another longtail keyword which was 'acai berry juice' and it recieved like 989 hits per day and only has like 266,000 pages of competition. I decided to launch my attack that this level. The only issue that I have with this is that the number of daily hits for any sub keyword for 'acai berry juice' tappers off quickly. I mean the only other sub keyword that has a good amount of daily hits is 'acai berry juice benefits' that gets around 155 hits per day and only about 961 pages of competition so I figure I'd hit a gold mine but the only problem is that everything below that sub keywords only get hits in the single digits or teens.

    Did I dig to deep into this niche to wrap my site around? Should I have moved a little more broad to a term like 'acai berry' ?

    Thanks for any advice on the whole keyword research you can shed my light on.

    I'm not concerned about this site being competed against as i only launched this site as a test so see if i could get some traffic to this site regardless of making $$$$

    PM if you would like...I hope I am doing this right...

    anything to do with acai berrys must be oversaturated by now - you can't move for seeing spam and or ads for it.

    magda assumptions like that are what kills the keyword research of some websites. Even though you may have seen a lot about acai berries lately, that niche does not look competitive. The websites showing up look low quality. There is even a youtube video on the 1st results page. I think any decent seo could make it to page #1 for 'acai berry'.

    I do think that acai berry juice may be too limited a niche. I think if you are going to target acai berry, you should cover most of the available keywords. Maybe ignore the phrase 'acai berry' to start. Then once you have rankings for other phrases then start building links with just 'acai berry' as the anchor text.

    Another word of advice...don't rely on the number of search results as a good indicator of competitiveness. Instead examine the websites ranked #1-10. Check how they use the target phrase on their site and check how strong their links are. The seo for firefox addon helps a lot with basic competition analysis.
