AletheidesMemberTBCOnet – first off Google AdWords Keyword Tool gives viable options to bid on. I really only use the numbers as directional – espcially for SEO.
Online Casino returns 1.5 million searches globally. So I am not sure if you read the info incorrectly or you are simply getting different results.
Keyword research tools you should use:
KeywordDiscovery.com
AdWords Keyword Suggestion tool
WordStream – The Free Keyword Tool from WordStream – Free Keywords for SEO, AdWords, & BloggingNow with any tool you need to really understand they are not 100% accurate, but they will give you directional data regardless.
Good Luck with “Online Casino” – those sites are dug in like ticks

InactiveI dont wish to sound like an a-hole – but here goes..
Are you not supposed to do your keyword research first.. As how can you build a site without knowing for what your building it for ?.
I think you’ve missed the first rule of fight club.. “keyword research comes before anything else”.

Loraine321MemberHi – thanks for the replies.
I am new to SEO and I thought I had done my keyword research before..
I had found a number of very nice keywords but this was with the ‘BROAD’ search option enabled on Adwords Tool and not ‘EXACT’
Online Casino has 1.5million searches if you have BROAD ticked but only 165,000 if you have EXACT ticked..
Which one should I be using? What about PHRASE?
– Also I’m not really targeting ‘Online Casino’ lol, that would be madness to start out with! I’m trying to find some nice long tail keywords

winner.comMemberHere’s a new thing that I am doing. I build a page or a site with original content. (more or less)
then I check density and I ‘cloud’ it to see what the content comes up with organically. Then I tweak from there.January 18, 2012 at 4:36 pm #820679
frazerdMemberYou should be using “exact”.
That said, a lot of reasonable people have data that suggests the Google KW tool is – at best – a rough estimate.
