Domestic keyword searches

[Kroeriks]

Hello

I've spent some much information about how to get the best keywords for my SEO niche page.

However, since the recent google changes, different opinions I fond it hard to use something accurate.

Also the fact hat may keywords has so many variables, it makes it even tougher and more complex for a new beginner like me.

Could anyone please guide me in the right way please?

Lets say I would like rankings for Electronic Cigarettes in Norway.

It can be written in so many different way, ecig. e-cig. elcig, e cigarette etc etc. (norwegian version ofc)

I have for the most part used google keyword planner,  but I am really unsure of what boxes to tick and not.

I have deleted my wordpress installation and starting from scratch. But I want to make sure I get it 100% right this time before I start.

It sounds like you might be getting a little overwhelmed which can cause a lack of focus. Try to go a page at a time starting with as little as 3-5 key words per page and using On Page Grader make sure you're scoring an A. From there it's time to start some strategic link building. The 2nd video down on this page is a great place to start http://moz.com/blog/2012-mozcon-videos-are-here. Hope that helps.

Thank you iybi!

That made it a lot more clear. So when I have used Moz page grader, that was for the starting page only and not all the subpages? I have been using it constantly and monitored. Few days ago I got as the picture show. My problem then was "Am i creating and using the right keywords in the niche for norwegian users and google-norway"?

Going to watch the video you linked for sure.

Thank you very much!

Hey there, I know a bit about the e-cig space, when I am trying to understand permutations, e-cig vs ecig vs e cigarette I do something super simple.  I type in one term and see if Google bolds the matches to the other terms. Here is an example: http://screencast.com/t/mmVk3tdE now egis doesn't seem to match e-cig, so I would try ecigs for instance, and you can see here what matches and doesn't match: http://screencast.com/t/GsxgthQXxTBA

We are splitting hairs here though, I find that over time (and usually very quickly) the machine learning starts kicking in, and Google gets all the matches, so I wouldn't worry too much.
