Thanks for the insight!

Alright. So use phrases that make sense on your site. But what about domains? If I want to get ranked on a high-traffic low-competition keyword phrase which doesn't make sense (missing a "to" or an "at" or such), should I use it as a domain?

Hey Walter, you want to choose a domain that makes sense to your target audience. Do not choose a domain based on keyword searches or data. You want to make sure that the domain uses proper grammar too if you're using a phrase. If a keyword is missing words like "to" or "at", you need to add them in to make it grammatically correct.

Thanks! The only thing is with the 50 searches per month. Carson made a long post regarding how it could be less & still considered a good keyword.

That's why if it gets more than 10 searches a month I will go ahead and use it. Sometimes if it even gets less than 10 even though I wish it got more than that. I guess if you find 10 keywords that get 10 searches a month you will have 100 traffic to your site. That's a good way of looking at it I guess

yeah exactly.

50 searches a month as a "minimum" just means that you're targeting keywords that have some historic data indicating they will get searched. The most IMPORTANT thing when choosing a keyword is the competition being under 400, and the keyword being relevant to your audience. Well said Scott!

Thanks for that comment, on the searches for the month, wish I had read this before I did my keywords this afternoon, I will look at lower one's and maybe I can get a few more.
