]]> Comment on SEO: choosing your target keywords by Stephanie http://www.webwrite101.com/blog/2010/04/seo-choosing-keywords/comment-page-1/#comment-8 Stephanie Wed, 21 Apr 2010 17:52:35 +0000 http://www.webwrite101.com/blog/?p=251#comment-8 Hi Sue Thanks for writing this - it's very helpful. I think I've got my head round it now - for a niche blog, it seems best to go for key phrases with relatively little competition that are very relevant. As you say, not much point in trying to rank for highly popular key phrases that have high competition. I like the idea of including niche terms in the copy. Also using particularly good key phrases to get ideas for blog posts - hadn't thought of that. A quick question for you... is the competition bar in the Google Keyword Tool a good way to get a initial idea of the competition level for a list of key phrases? I guess it's not measuring the same thing as WordTracker but it's free! Thanks, Steph Hi Sue

In particular, should you go for a phrase where there's lots of traffic but lots of competition and hope to get a bit of the action? Or should you go for a phrase that's getting fewer searches but where there's less competition? Or should you try and work both phrases in even if they have no words in common?
