a couple o months ago i did a series of posts about creating mini sites, and one of the aspects i menitoned was keyword research like netvestor blog wrote, but in a more detailed post:

Stick with ~middle of the road and you'll be fine. Think ... What would everyone do then do something different and yes; I also enjoy freediver's post on that blog I learnt a lot / got reminded of a lot. What I like most about it is that it has no FLUFF. I'm great at beefing up articles but when it comes to learning FACTS you want straight to the point which I find that blog delivers big in.

KEI was dreamed up by a SEO named Sumatra Roy - now KEI is looked down on by SEO's

SEO's use specific desktop software programs or monthly subscription online services

What SEO's look for are:
good monthly search volume
"buyer" search phrases
low "exact search" competition
low number of backlinks required for top ranking
high CPC value
few top ranked sites using search phrase in page title
top ranked sites are generic sites like amazon, ebay, etc.

PS. wordtracker is no longer taken seriously by SEO's

Netvestor: How to find low competition keywords

Any thoughts?

I just read something yesterday on keyword research - not figured out how to do it so somebody here may be able to help

what I read was basically:
find search phrases used on social networking sites - as google now takes social networking sites as being extremely relevant regarding search and content

the second step is, once you've found all the relevant search phrases from social network sites, you build content on your own site related to those search phrases - then google will love your site

I like the logic, but suspect the product launch will be a big ticket event - this guy's stuff is always expensive - so I'm looking a low cost method of keyword harvesting the social network sites

Just want to point out that the example single word search phrase he gave produced a list of search phrases I've never seen before

Coincidentaly the example single word search phrase given was the prime phrase for my biggest traffic site - so I know he's on to something, as I haven't seen some of the phrases he found in 4 years of keyword researching
