I like to start my searches with Google and after finding keyword phrases people are searching for on Google go to Keyword tools to find out whether my phrases are high ranking keyword phrases.
Today I want to use Google search engine and WA keyword tool to find a good ranking keyword/phrase.
Say, I am interested in Gardening, and I want to find a high ranking keyword in the area of gardening.I know “gardening” is too broad a word so, without wasting time I know that I need a subset of Gardening to start my search.Alphabet soup technique is a good tool for finding phrases.

So if I use the keyword tool and it comes back with a listing for one that shows a search of say 1000+ , Article Power of 8.1, and PPC of 7.5 and another that shows a search of <10, AP of 10, and PPC of 9.6 which is better?

Don't even worry about Article Power or PPC. You want more than 50 monthly searches and less than 300 competition:)

A search with <10 is no good. It means it is not a good niche in fact not a niche at all. Under 10 people searched using that keyword in the whole month.
