Googles keyword Tool?

If a search phrase on Googles Keyword Tool is showing an estimated traffic of 368,000 searches a month, how reliable is that figure?





Obivously I know its not going to be exact, or anywhere near exact, but are the chances that that particular keyword has a lot of searches good?





What about the advertiser competition, how accurate is that estimate?|||The advertiser competition relates strictly to Google adwords and does not relate to organic results.





As far as the traffic figure is concerned it will not be entirely accurate for competition reasons. However if it shows up a lot of searchers it will be a popular keyword.





Remember to change your keyword matching options to exact in order to get a more realistic figure.|||There's no reason to believe that Google's information isn't accurate. If that's what the keyword tool says, it's probably pretty close to that number.





What's more important is the number of websites that contain that keyword. If you have 368,000 searches but it appears on 2 million websites, you are cutting your chances of having someone find your site down to nothing.





It's better to find a "long tail keyword phrase" that doesn't appear on a lot of websites but has a decent number of searches. I just wrote a blog post about this topic today that you might find helpful: http://www.eunicecoughlin.com/internet-m鈥?/a> .

You may want to join SBI which teaches you exactly how to get traffic by using keyword density, etc.

If you don't want the 100% sure way to make money online (sbi) you can use the wordtracker free keyword tool which seems to be very accurate:

What is of upmost importance is high quality organic searches that result in conversions and many keyword tools do not help in this area.





To me is good search keyword phrase or longtail keyword is one that converts.





I also find that to find out what keywords convert you often have to have a good PPC campaign.





Even if you do not do PPC adwords campaigns you can get a good idea of what words competitors are bidding on with the following tool and it is a free keyword tool ...

You will get a list of adwords that the top sites are biding on and usually if it is a high bidded keyword it is likely to be a converting one. What is even more amazing is I have found some real good converting keywords that would be considered niche phrases that convert well from an organic search.





As far as advertiser competition I always look at the key phrase or word without quotes and see what sites are in the adwords game on the first page to determine the strength of my competition. I am not worried about the number of them but the strength. If I am competing against amazon and ebay then I look elsewhere it it is joes hobbie websites on the first page ... then I have a winner.|||Hello, i have find this link and work fine for see density.
