I’ve started a site that gets ‘not enough data’ in the GKT but it is for a high price item so I am giving it a shot. Will see if anyone bites. Also doing PPC on it too as am determined to learn and master (or at least make some money) PPC.

No, I dont think the 5m HDMI Cable site will rank well with not much content. The site you see just now is nowhere near complete. I’ve only got three posts on so far, I plan on having hundreds, which I will add gradually to the site.

Theres no definite figure that I look for on the GKT. It all depends on the product. I found a product yesterday that only gets 480 searches a month, but I managed to get the keyword domain and I can VERY easily rank number one for that term. Its a product with a high price tag and the commission is rather handsome, so I’m happy to target this product even though it doesnt get many searches. So its all depends on the product and my own instinct I guess!

I havent actually done too much research into what percentage I get, mainly due to the fact that GKT isnt 100% accurate. Ive ran PPC campaigns that have proven the GKT to be extremely wrong (usually the tool shows a lot less searches than there actually are), so I only use it as a guide.

Do you think the 5m site will rank well with not much content? I have a few sites that thin and some do ok rank wise and some not so well.

Also what kind of figures do you look for in the Google Keyword Tool?

If I get to number in Google for a search term I usually get about 5% of the exact searches clicking through to my sites. Do you know what figure you get?

Thanks for the link. Never actually came across the Wonder Wheel before so I’ll give it a bash

It shows similar searches that people are making which could help you gather a few more keywords to PPC or to include in your content:
