Hey everyone this is Nicholas Stewart and I just wanted to say thanks and give everyone a list of about 30 keywords that you can use right now to build a profitable website.
All 30 of these keywords have a reasonable number of monthly searches on Google and don’t have an overwhelming amount of competition.

I’ve done the keyword research for these and you can download it here:

The columns explained
For those of you who are not familiar with the different terms and ratios in keyword research I’m going to give a quick explanation of what each column means.
Column 1: the keyword
Column 2: the approximate number of monthly searches for this keyword on Google
Column 3: this is the broad competition, so if I search for this keyword phrase without quotes or anything else this is the number of sites that are competing.
Column 4: this is the phrase competition, so if I search for my keyword phrase with quotes around it this is the number of sites competing. If my keyword phrase is poodle manicures and I searched on Google for “poodle manicures” (with the quote marks) then I would see the number of sites competing for this exact phrase.
Column 5: this is the number of sites that have all of my keywords in their title. You can perform the search on Google by doing:
allintitle: poodle manicures
Column 6: this is the number of sites that have all of the keywords in their URL.
Column 7: this column is the Broad KEI. This number is computed by taking the monthly search number, multiplying that by itself, and then dividing by the broad competition (column 3). The lower this number the better.
Column 8: this column is the Phrase KEI. This is almost exactly the same as column 7. The only difference is he uses the phrase competition. The lower this number the better.
Columns 9 and 10: these are the same as the two previous columns except they used the title and URL numbers.
Column 11: this column is a measure of competition for your keywords in webpages URLs and titles. The smaller this number in the better.
For those of you who are more mathematically inclined and want to know how I computed this number I will tell you. I took the number of sites competing for keywords in title and multiplied it by the number of sites that are competing for your keyword in their URL. I then took the product of this number and computed a base 10 logarithm.
What do you think?
I hope you find this useful.
I am curious though: is this too much information? Should I omit some of the columns?
Personally I am kind of a numbers person and generally welcome more data but I know this is not the case for everyone.

Thanks for the list nick,
I think I am going to modify a couple of these to get a little more traffic.
That sounds great. Let us know how it goes.
Nick, thanks for the keyword research that you have done. Am now going to modify a little on doing keyword research for some websites of my own and then get back to you same place if i get a boost in my traffic.
Sounds like you have a good plan.
