Hi Kalena…I became tremendously frustrated with this whole “keyword research” concept to. The process only involves two steps:
(1) Find popular long tail keywords sometimes refered to as key phrases ie. with local search counts greater than 1000

(2) Find phrases where the competition is less than 50,000. Competition is the exact phrase phrase count. Find this by placing quotations at the beginning and end of the phrase when doing a Google search

At one time I spent a lot of time using the free Google Keyword Tools, which are excellent.

The frustration I had was the amount of time it took to undertake the process. It just was not automated enough for me.

I finally bit the bullet and purchased an automated system. It freed up a lot of time and basically took the guesswork out searching for popular long tail – low competition keywords.

Before I start any campaign, I generate a list of 20 good keywords and try to incorporate them in all of my marketing activities.

If you want to take a peek at the one I use, click on my URL. I will provide you with a Free Traffic Report and a link to the keyword research tool site.

Email me if you have any questions.

Good Luck!
