Questions on creating and naming your Blogsite

I have a question which I just recently posted in our Breakthrough Seminar group at Facebook..... i know these are a bit "newbie" questions but il shoot anyway.. [affirmation: I will not be afraid to ask and to learn!!! LOL] =)

Q: Is it possible (or is it just okay) to create multiple blogsites / websites under 1 gmail account? or we have to create several gmail addresses for each of the blogsites we create?

A: 100 blogs can be created for 1 blogger or gmail account.  My advice is to just create like 10-20 blogs per gmail account to spread your risk in case your gmail account is disabled. Personally I didn't know this when i started so I have more than 100 blogs on a single gmail account.

Q: When creating a name for your blog [choosing your niche], you taught us (on the Breakthrough seminar last Aug 20) to use Google keyword tool to optimize the website, right?

A: Yes. For those who don't know this, it's the first thing that appears when you google "KEYWORD TOOL".

Q: Now, let's say we have 2 topics to choose from, one has millions of searches per month, the other only has about thousands (50k, 100k to around 500k).... which one is more worthwhile to do? the one with million searches (wow, dami ngse-search... kaso baka mas marami competition).. or the other one that has only so few who care to search for, for example the "Arnis" which leads to other related words like Eskrima or Escrima.. so generally speaking, which topic or niche should I be choosing?

Kasi if we see that 2M is searching about this topic pala every month, e di ibig sabihin lagi pinaguusapan.. e di mas malaki chance na makita agad through Google search yung site mo, lalo pag ginamit mo lahat ng mga tamang keywords?

Now, once you've chosen your niche.. the question is choosing your words (or blog name) wisely.. for example, when choosing the topic "investing".. we find that "investing for dummies" only has around 18,100 Global Monthly Searches and the Competition level is like 80%... now "how to invest" has 5M Global Monthly Searches (wow!) and the competition is only like 30%.... which one would you choose?

A: 
To address confusion: Competition in the Keyword tool means Advertisers competing against each other and not Bloggers or Websites competing against each other. You want this competition to be near 100% as much as possible. And you'll want to select a keyword that's either local, specific or both. "Cat" is not local. Cats exist in all countries.  Pusakal however only exists in the Philippines. I hope that's clear.

I would always choose a more specific keyword vs a generic or general keyword. The word "cat" is too general vs the words "Minx Cat" w/c is a specific kind of cat.  When you check the searches - the cat always gets millions. But minx cat is not near millions. That means less competition from other bloggers about minx cats. It also means cats have lots of sites and bloggers blogging about the generic topic of cat.

You don't have much hope in creating a new top selling store inside an already top selling and crowded mall.  This is "cat".

Your best bet is to locate a street outside the mall where people pass by BEFORE going to the mall - and set up your new shop there. This is "minx cat".

My choice will be investing for dummies philippines or investing for dummies for Filipinos
