You should not use the WA keyword tool. I did that for 5 of my posts, and i might as well throw all the hard work used on them out. I found keywords that WA said was like 8 competition. My articles are 1500 words and i have like 25 comments on them. I'm not even on page 10 yet. So you should really never trust this WA keyword tool.
I have also tried searching the same word like three times and i've gotten three different results every time.

Thanks for your help with this!!

Yes. I actually compared results earlier from two different keywords (with jaaxy and WA keyword tool), and I got approx. the same exact results.

However, when I wrote a post using one keyword with little competition, but a very high volume of searches, doesn't seem like that specific post ranked.

I believe though your always better off searching LSI, or long-term keywords. Their much more predictable and reliable, than a simple 2 word keyword.

Anyway no reason to lose any hope at all. Just keep writing quality content when you can. That's what really counts in the end. Be consistent, and be patient.

I blogged about this recently and I show you why you can trust the keyword tool. Hope it helps :) https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/steveo5770/blog/understanding-competition-analysis-for-beginners

ok will do:)
Also was getting Google suspicious by my constant searchings… had to verify I wasn't a computer a could times… is this normal?
Thank you for your patience with me:)

Sounds like you have found a glitch. 0 results can be returned at times if the API has a hiccup.
ALWAYS double check when a 0 result occurs.

This might help you to understand what the WA keyword tool is doing in the background. http://onlinelabguy.com/google-lies

Hey blairdc… I'm confused with that. if there is only 56 results… there is only 1 page???
Timrowland… One thing I figured: the """ around the search entry must ensure it only searches direct quotes; instead of bringing up every page with the random words through it...

when you search the same keyword in google, you have to go to the very last page...that's where you will see the "56 results."

Wish I could help you...but I just ask the same question. Why the results are very different using the keyword tool here and when you type it (the same) into Google. Considering the competition results appear to come up in Google.

If you find out...please, let me know.

Thank you everyone!
Another case of wanting to be THERE when I'm still wwaayy over HERE:)
Still in Level 3 so will be patient… (Thank you Boomergp08 and Carlalver).
(See you there Loes.)

Robert's right. Wait for the training. And once you get into the social services, they all have help available. Good Luck!

Yes, this is all covered in Level 4 training. If you are not near Level 4 training yet you do not have to worry yourself about it. It can wait.

Go to facebook and just fill in the required stuff, no more and no less, you can fill in later what you want to share, the same on twitter and G+, it is not so difficult, meet you there:) Loes

Hey Blaird, Thank you for the help… your answer probably confirmed what I thought. So, I can link a list of recipes, and provide my own photos… thanks so much!

you can certainly link to an external webpage without permission. For example, if I wrote an article and said, "According to a study done by the NIH..." I would link that study but don't need permission to do so.

As far as the images, that's a different story. You cannot take the picture without permission. I would encourage to find free images first. Or, if you have made these recipes yourself, take a picture of it and post it.
