How do you choose good keywords?

[lemons884]

I'm trying to find good keywords for my site

I used

www.adwords.google.com/select/keywordtoolexternal

So how do I know which keyword to pick on this? Like some of them have no competition at all but theres no searches for the keywrod either.

Also once I do find a keyword I just stick the keyword in my meta tags, title tags, and a few spots in the content?

and you can use programs like Market Samurai to understand that stats on your particular keyword

I ask my technologically illiterate mother to write down a list of words and combinations she'd use when attempting to look for a particular product.

That's a great idea! Think like the user.

Wordtracker
Adplanner

Those are two sites I use a lot for research.

Yeah I came up with

How to build muscle and lose fat
How to gain muscle quickly

Just to name a few. Think like the user- I like it.

I wanna post my site here for people to look at but I'm thinking theres too many experts here that will take my idea and destroy the google ranks.....rendering me no chance to succeed.....

I use my somewhat technically illiterate wife to help me out. It's really amazing to sit back and watch how others actually search and the terms they use.
