    Hello team DP

    If i was to say to you, that i use google adwords keyword tool in the following manner to achieve designated keyword selection, am i correct?.

    Firstly - After brainstorming ideas and tree branching words i enter a selection of the keywords into the search box.

    Secondly - I change the match criteria to EXACT, this is important.

    Thirdly - I select only the exact matches that i know have organic search volume, from this i select results between 200 or more searches per month with low advertiser competition.


    If this is correct, then it is very very difficult to find niche keywords, does anyone here have advice, past experience, etc.

    Thank you, enjoy your day

    I've found that the keyword tool is very misleading. I've put in keywords that say there are only 100 searches per month for it and found websites based on that keyword that get 10000 uniques per month. Not to say it doesn't help show search trends but I wouldn't take it as gospel

    Dont forget to actually search for the term yourself to see how many results are returned. Put the search term in quotes. If there are more than 10,000 results it may not be worth going after.

    An seo optimist once told me, that when searching organic results within the google window, anything beneath 200 000 search results is worth the pot of gold.

    Thank you for correcting this statement, i only regret the time wasted

    Thanks for you post friend
