Google Adwords Keyword Planner Question
-
Is the keyword volume data shown the number of google adword clicks people made after searching with the used keyword, or is it the exact match search volume??
-
That's great, thanks David!

It is the average monthly exact match search volume. If you're using the tool, hover over the question mark beside "Avg. monthly searches" in the table and you'll see the full description of the data:
The average number of times people have searched for this exact keyword based on the targeting settings that you've selected.
About the number: We calculate the 12-month average of the number of searches for this exact keyword based on the location and Search Network targeting settings that you've selected (not including your language setting).
How to use it: See how popular this keyword is. This information can give you an idea if adding the keyword to your campaign will help you reach your advertising goals.
Note: If we don't have enough data, you'll see a dash (-). Average monthly searches don't take into account the keyword match types you've selected. To see the traffic for different match types, look at your click and cost estimates on the review page.

Does Anchor Text in Links Count When Google Looks at Overall Keywords on the Page?
So, on our site, we have a list of related blog posts on a page that focuses on bamboo flooring. These blogs posts have anchor text like "What's the best bamboo flooring?" "How to install bamboo flooring." "Yada yada bamboo flooring yada." Because the main keyword for the page is bamboo flooring, would the presence of these words within anchor text on the page be considered as keywords on the bamboo flooring page, affecting that page and possibly stuffing within that page?

Low Competition Keywords
My blog, which started in May, is doing really well except with Google. My traffic is growing and so are my subscribers etc but my keywords have very high competition. I don't really like google's new keyword research tool. Any advice for finding keywords I have a chance with? I am only ranking in the top 50 for one keyword (#1-2 spot) but it doesn't give me a lot of traffic. Thanks!

Evaluating Competition of a Keyword
I'm curious about how others evaluate the competition of keywords when putting together an SEO program: Do you place any faith in the competition listing in the Google Keyword Tool? Do you find value in SEOmoz's Keyword Difficulty tool? What other tactics or processes do you perform?
