The Ten Commandments of Keyword selection
Thread Description:
Good foundational article regarding keyword selection. The pearl I think is
the formula that is used to calculate the worth of certain keywords. It would be interesting
to know if anyone else has developed a similar formula.

I don't like that formula
The # of competing pages just really is not a good metric since only the top few really matter. I think Dan Thies created a formula where you make an assumption as to how perfectly relevant the keywords are for your products...and then ended up calculating effective useful searches (or something like that).
I think it was something like
Search Volume * how well the word is targeted = effective searches.
Another Formula
Maybe you guys would be willing to look at http://www.socengine.com/seo/tools/keyword-difficulty-tool.html
It analyzes quite a few pieces of information about a keyword, including the competitiveness of the top 10 positions at Google...
It's not perfect, but it certainly contains many more metrics than the article recommends - metrics which I think you'd be foolish to ignore.
Great Tool

Thanks.
