Google Keyword Tool

    My main form of making money online has always been freelance. Recently, I've decided to concentrate on making money developing websites. I have moderate knowledge with developing websites and have made up to $400 a month in the past. My traffic however, was never mainly from search engines but from advertisements. This is because I never bothered to learn much about keywords and their effectiveness.

    Nowadays the only way to come up in SERPS is to research for low competition keywords with decent searches, correct? But how much is decent?

    I know I'm just rumbling off here, so here's the main question. Let's I come across a keyword on a very popular mainstream anime show (it's actually on right now!). Google Keyword Tool says it has very low competition, a Local Search Volume of 74,000, and a Global Monthly Search Volume of 40,500. Is this considered a good keyword for the topic?

    How about adding the word Buy in front of your keyword.

    Well, first of all, Google is showing a low competition on the PPC level. Not organic searching :p. Second, the 74,000 searches sound like a "broad" match. Try to set it to "exact" and see what it says. After you've done this, go over to https://adwords.google.com/select/TrafficEstimatorSandbox and see how many estimated clicks you'd get with PPC and times that by 20. That's about how many clicks you could expect with a #1 ranking on Google for that keyword.

    Better to ignore the actual search counts you get from Google. They are hideously inaccurate. Use them for comparative analysis only (phrase A is twice as popular as phrase B, etc).

    For accurate search volumes, you'll have to run a test PPC campaign.

    It's not to difficult, build backlink for your site on keyword or anchor text that you want. You will get that :)
