Most searches entered in the Search Engines by Internet
users are a combination of two or three words. Keyword
combinations of four words typically don't have very high
demand, and combinations of five words rarely have a search
volume that is worth targeting. The search volume for any
combinations with more than five words is too low to warrant
a page to target the search phrase.
Please keep in mind that, even if you are not specifically
targeting a long keyword combination, your pages may still
rank for a number of longer phrases, each with a very low
search volume (the so-called "long tail").

long tail of marketing, please see this TNT article...

What is a good Demand/Supply/Profitability number?
Try not to get stuck on the actual numbers of DEMAND,
SUPPLY, and PROFITABILITY. Make your
brain the ultimate judge.
The #1 benefit of the Brainstormer is the sheer number and
relevancy of keywords that it brings back. But...
The SUPPLY and DEMAND numbers are still merely gross
guidelines that point out some interesting big pictures.
SUPPLY and DEMAND come from a wide variety of resources,
which can be quirky at times.
And PROFITABILITY is calculated from SUPPLY and DEMAND, so
if one resource has one weird number for either of those,
the resulting PROFITABILITY will be wacky. So, at all
times, you must be the one who puts it all together,
conceptually, and makes the final calls.
At this point in your 10 DAY process, review the following
resources...
1) DAY 2 to DAY 5 of the SBI! Action Guide

No single keyword, no matter how profitable it may
calculate out to be, makes or breaks a business. The
overall quantity and quality of all your
pages, which address a wide variety of all the keywords,
ultimately, are what makes your business snowball, growing
faster and faster.
Quick Tip... Use Search It! to
complement your research efforts, if you have the time...

Select Brainstorming as your Search Category (STEP1). Then
review all Search Types (STEP 2).

Can I transfer my WordTracker credits between my SBI! sites?
While it's not possible to transfer your WordTracker credits
(the labour cost to do so is more than the cost of the
queries), please do not be afraid to use them.
WordTracker queries only cost about 10 to 20 cents each. For
pennies per query, your Return On Investment is
thousands-fold!
If you have multiple sites, they all deserve the same amount
of attention to detail when it comes to keyword research.
Skimping on research for one site, while doing excessive
research for another, will result in you doing yourself
(and your business) a disservice.
The key is to maximize your use of the WordTracker tool
before and after you select your niche (or niches, if you
have more than one SBI! subscription).

Is there a way to print out Brainstorm It! Master Keyword
List results?
You can export your keywords to a special kind of text file called
a CSV file. Then open that file with any text editor and print it.
Or, if you prefer, you can import that file into any spreadsheet or database
software. The CSV file contains the keywords and all related data,
ready for you to manipulate and analyze.
For more details, please go the Master Keyword List page. Scroll to
the bottom and click on the question mark button next to the
three types of Export links.

How do I save the Master Keyword List?
You don't see a "Save" button because Brainstorm It!
automatically saves your data in the SiteSell database.
If you need to take a break in the middle of making your
Master Keyword List or during a Brainstorm, simply close
your browser. The next time you login to Brainstorm
It!...
http://brainstorm.sitesell.com/
... select the domain (or Order #) you were previously
working on from the drop-down menu. Your data will be right
there for you to use or improve upon.
Happy brainstorming!
