Allintitle search for new keywords

How much is too much?

[Andy217]

When using the "allintitle" search at Google to identify new keywords to try and rank for, what's the "realistic" range to aim for? Some of these queries return some pretty high numbers that I feel are probably unrealistic to even try and attempt.

Thanks in advance for your insight!

It's all relative, I'm afraid. The key factors are how "serious" the competition is, and how effective you believe your search engine promotion will be. Strictly speaking there are no unobtainable keywords, although you will clearly find it a cumbersome tasks to try to get into the top three for large brand names, and tricky also for highly competitive markets.

There's no way to choose a number and say it is too high - it would be entirely arbitrary. I would recommend you review the sites you would be competing against (their site itself, and their incoming links) and decide if you would be happy to take them on.
