  • As you can see I searched the keyword “How to create a blog” and you can see this keyword is having 14,800 monthly searches along with high competition.
  • You will also get some more related keywords ideas with their monthly searches and competition.
  • Either you can write down all the relevant keywords with monthly searches along with competition or you can export the entire list.

After export, just review these keywords.

How to choose right keyword?

Now, how to select better keywords from the list?

We should target those keywords which are high in monthly searches. As the competition is high and your website is NEW then there may be some difficulty to come on the top of the search page because there are so many high PR and high ranking websites with these keywords will be on the top of the page.

> If your website is NEW then follow below model to target the keyword.

Target those keywords which are HIGH in Monthly Searches and LOW in Competition.

> If your website is at least 6 months old and have good rankings then follow below model to target the keyword.

Target those keywords which are HIGH in Monthly Searches and MEDIUM in Competition.

> If your website has good Alexa rankings, high PR, good quality back-links, good domain authority and most popular over the internet world then follow below model to target the keyword.

Target those keywords which are HIGH in Monthly Searches and High in Competition.

Now, it’s your turn to target the right keyword and get most popular on Google search engine.

    Is there any way how to escape special characters in keywords?
    For instance, let’s assume (I have different keywords, and they are read in from a database, I don’t put everything in manually, so the question is not how to search for floppy disks, it is just an example), I want to search for 1.4″ floppy disks or maybe Mailaddresses like [email protected].

    keywordplaner is telling me every time, that special characters are not allowed.
