Greetings All;
I'm trying to get a good keyword to start my first campaign using Google's tools, i.e. the Adwords Keyword Tool and the normal Google search box. From the Adwords data I think I get what is a good local result (low number of 1000. I then go over to Google page and type in the keyword in quotes, result I think is good. Using allintitle command is OK. Then using allinanchor command throws the search in the garbage with an outrageously high result. What am I doing wrong ? I have some free keyword tools but they seem so user unfriendly at times. Any help greatly appreciated.

    Definition: Allinanchor: is Google syntax to search only the anchor text of Web pages. Results are listed based on the text used in the backlinks or outside links pointing to the page. Therefore if I have a site about blue widgets and I create 100,000 back links same blue widgets that's 100,000 anchor text.
    just for the one site

    so that means if there is 5000 sites that would like to rank for blue widgets and they all created 100,000 back links with the anchor text blue widgets via blog comments profiles and so on

    well you can do the math

    To get started just keep it simple.
    Use GAKT to get exact match results to satisfy your minimum number
    Don't worry about the local column just sort by the Global column

    To check the competition, install SEOQuake if you're using Firefox or Chrome
    Type your target keyword in Google search with no quotes or brackets and use Quake to analyze the Google first page results as that's your competition

    That's enough to get started
