Cool methods but these keywords usually are low in serach and geographically rigid. and to make things worse things taper off quickly with these keywords
I don't think if these keywords are low in search, took google hottrends, google show 100 keywords that most people view all over the world in google search engine. the only weakness of these are, sometime most of the keywords are not High Paying Keywords.
Great tips But I don't think that they will be helpful for a long run. It is better to target keywords that have high volume of searches constantly. And of course, keywords that would surely bring tons of traffic.
Google's keyword tool is very effective in determining monthly search volumes. It is very useful in determining what keywords to optimize for. You do not want to optimize for a word with extremely high search volume because it will be hard to attain a high ranking. Best case scenario is a word with relatively high search volume that can be beneficial to your site. This is a tool that many Michigan SEO consultants are using to optimize sites.
Google's Zeitgeist is anamazing tool that would serve the purpose of finding the hottest keywords being searched. And keeping track of Google's Trends and Yahoo's Overall would serve the purpose.Just collate info and post articles. But, the catch is, ur site has to be crawled and should be ready to be displayed when searched. So, its better to carry on in the niche chosen with highest paying keywords.
