There is a new function that allows us to choose between broad,phrase or exact match when analyzing keywords. What is the best selection to pick? I think a phrase match is the way to go for SEOT or is it?

Thanks

I am not a professional, still a beginner.

But my common sense tells me that if you find a good SEOT for a certain phrase match then it will be good. Just make sure that when you check the SEOC you check both broad-match and phrase-match SEOC for that phrase so you know what you are up too.

Also I believe that you can compete on some niches through using Phrase match or Exact match researched keywords and SEOC, Since the broad match often might be too competitive.

Thanks for the reply. I agree with you, phrase or exact are more accurate and are the way to go.

Hi cpelanne - phrase match is the most important - the figures given in the 30dc training videos - >200 searches, >80 SEOT, should be applied to the phrase match results.

Hi there,

Please stick to the 30 Day Challenge process. There has been a reason why that process has been recommended. And the rationale has been explained in the videos and also through-out this forum.

SEOT to be 80 and above using broad match - and it is based on a percentage of the total broad match figures. All this has been worked out for you in the MS tool.

SEOC is to be no more than 30K competing pages.

The other options are for those phrases that seem 'too good to be true' - and you double check in phrase match for searches and see that in fact, it is not a commonly used phrase.

They've been plenty of examples of people querying that here on the forum - so now you can easily check for yourself. An example came up the other day: "keyword com" - and it is not a phrase like that that many are actually typing in and search for.

This is also well explained on the Market Samurai blog in the knowledgebase.

Remember - ultimately the goal is to appear in the top of google listings for a keyword phrase in broad match - as most users do not search using " "

But we want to know how many pages are optimized and we're competing against using the actual phrase we're after.

I hope this clarifies it for you

I look at all the results that way you can get a better picture since the more information you have the better you know where your going. dont be put off a keyword if you dont like the numbers in exact match if the numbers are good in phrase match or broad match it just means it may take longer to get the traffic shown in the results.

my two bits worth

Along those same lines, can someone define and explain the relevance of the "PBR" section in the Market Samurai results?
