for which to optimize your webpage? How do you make this decision?

Is picking the lowest possible Advertiser Competition value (from adwords search tool) keyword is helpful?

A good way is to use a keyword research tool, and then target to less popular keywords and phrases to begin with and aim for success with those.

I would start with less competitive keywords with reasonable CPC.

You can also try to look for very-well searched keyword, then for it's long tail possible combination.

Do keyword research. Google Adwords is a free and much quicker to use. You can also try Google insights. it also good since it provides a visual representation of regional interest on a map.

I usually use 2 more competitive keywords on my homepage while use some less competitive keywords for catalogs and pages. Use long tail keywords in my page contents everywhere.

By "competitive" you all mean Advertiser Competition value? If yes, then isn't it represents how many advertisers are bidding on it, not what the competition among pages for this keyword is?

You can use KEI ( Keyword Effective Index ) for Choosing the best keywords.

**Jessica14** · 10-26-2009, 10:56 AM

of course pick keywords that has lots of searches every month. not just by only looking for its advertiser competition.

Selecting right keyword is really so important so we should go for most relevat keyword that suits to your page higher chance to get clicked with low competition I mean to say it should be less compeitive with economic CPC.

Google Adwords is a free and much earlier to use. You can also try Google insights. It is also good since it provides a visual representation of area interest on a map.
Do keyword research.

KEI is a meaningless metric based on erroneous "theories"

**rypher21** · 10-27-2009, 07:51 AM
