SEO beginner- How to decide what keyword to go after?
-
I started a website called Think and Grow Entrepreneur. I'm not sure where to start with Keywords and which ones to go after.
Should I input the same keywords over and over my blog to rank in those or should I look at every post as a single entity and try to rank different keywords in each blog.
Ideally I would like to rank for the keyword Entrepreneur, but there are already very powerful companies with the same keyword. How should I go about this situation?
I appreciate any feedback. Thanks!

Hi Sung, first of all I recommend you to avoid one term keywords, look more to keyphrases. Look at what people normally add to the entrepeneur keyword to make their searches, for that you may use the adwords keyword tool. Expand your list of keywords as much as you can and then refine it removing the not related ones. You need to spend a lot of time in it because that will be the base of your entire work in the future.
After you got the keywords which more interests you look at the seomoz keyword difficulty tool. That may give you insight of which keyword will be the easier compared to the volume it has. Than if you still find those keywords are still too much competititve try to extend those ones with the third term. In that way you'll find which are the best kws to start with.
Remember that when you start achieving value to some longer keywords you're still getting value for the shortest combination, and in the future you may achieve some authority and start seeing your site ranking for the most competitive keywords too.
As a general rule, start getting market share in the bottom lines, huge brands normally leave unseen lower trafficked keywords, they achieve traffic because everyone looks a t the top keywords only. Then you'll start growing from the bottom.

How can I learn what are the most popular keyword phrases?
I have done a lot of research on Google AdSense (e.g. how to get started, best practices, how much money can be made, custom channels). I want to write a blog post based on my research, but my question is -- how can I learn what are the most common questions about Google AdSense or Internet advertising from a keyword search perspective? For example, are more people searching for "How to make money with AdSense" vs "How to make money with Internet advertising" vs "How to make money with a website"? How do I know which phrase is searched most? It seems to me that I should make my page title, URL, H1, etc. exactly match (or as close as possible within proper grammar) the question that is most often searched. Thanks everyone! Ryan

Keyword competitiveness/research
I'm familiar with ranking factors and can get a pretty good idea of whether going for a keyword is realistic by looking at the seomoz keyword difficulty tool. As well as the % score it has a lot of useful information. There was an seomoz article a while ago that detailed how 100 or so experts determine a keyword's competitiveness. Does anybody have the link? Or just as good, any useful guides to interpreting the data to gauge how possible it is to compete? Thanks

I am a new pro member and have noticed that a lot of my keywords are very similar. i.e. "piano movers Atlanta" vs. "Atlanta piano movers" vs. "piano movers in Atlanta" Is there an accurate way to see search counts for each of these terms do determine which one I should target? Does anyone have any recommended tools or strategies?
