Randy, you can always use the WA keyword research tool, which is included in your premium membership. Not as fast and not as many features as Jaaxy, but a fine tool
to get started.

Plus you have 30 searches to try Jaaxy free. That will help with your decision. There's no rush to use Jaaxy immediately.

This video might help you down the track to make a decision that is right for you:

Good question and comments. Thanks for sharing!

Plain and simple, you won't rank on every keyword you try for. However, with a bit of keyword research using Jaaxy you can increase your odds by having an understand of the keyword metrics you need to know, most importantly your QSR (competition).

When starting a website, you want to go after the low hanging fruit keywords, the ones that have little competition (under 300 QSR, the lower the better) and then build out your website targeting these. I usually aim for under 100 with a newer website as this will lead to the most rankings.

As your website gains authority and as you get a hang of creating content, you can start to tackle more competitive keywords. You have the idea down though Randy and once you get the hang of things, it does become like clockwork to get awesome rankings in Google.

Jaaxy is awesome, Randy. Here's a link to Joe's review about Jaaxy--just click on his URL when you get there. It details Jaaxy in a way that is really informative. Also, essentially you have it correct--when you find a keyword that has a lot of searches but relatively low competition, that is, not many websites are using that particular keyword, then when you write an article with that keyword or phrase in the title and maybe once or twice in the first paragraph and publish it, google will rank your page higher.

Also, if you don't want to budget for Jaaxy right away, you'll see something called "Keyword Tool" to the left there under the heading "Tools & Services". That is an excellent free keyword search tool you can use. But I like Jaaxy better.

It is and it isn't quite as simple as that. It is possible that you choose a low competition keyword, you use it in the title and the first paragraph of your post and you find that very quickly you are ranked on the first page of Google. Easy? Well no - because as many people have found, they choose what they think is the right keyword and then find themselves on page 4 or 5 of google where they may very slowly crawl up the pages or they find they never do. And there's lots of reasons why that may happen. (poor keyword choice, poor use of keyword, keyword stuffing, poor quality content....)

You only need one keyword per post/article. Don't try and use more - it's not necessary for your content to be ranked. WA provides a keyword tool for free - so you don't have to jump in and purchase Jaaxy immediately if at all.

Follow the training on keyword research and see what the tool comes up with for your niche. Make sure you always choose a grammatical phrase. Don't try and pick one that has high volume that makes no grammatical sense.

It's free to try. I really enjoy using it myself.
