Ranking high for Top Keywords
As mentioned in my last post, I always do a bit of reasearch (whenever I find some time from my busy schedule) on the keywords, I want my sites to be ranked. One of my main income generating website on Baby Photo Contests - www.KidsandBibs.com is basically about baby photo, baby photo gallery and baby photo contests. So I am aiming for the same keywords and I want my site to be ranked high for these very competitive keywords. Ranking high for keywords which are not even searched makes no sense and it is not going to benefit your website. So when you use Google Adwords Keyword Tool, it gives you an exact idea about the search volume and also how many advertisers are actually after those keywords (not exact numbers though, but you get a rough idea). See the attached screenshot.
Doing SEO is an ongoing job. You need to keep working to maintain your rankings in the search engines. Recently I noticed that many visitors are coming from Google.com for keywords like baby photos , baby photo, baby pictures that is when I went in to check my rankings. It always used to be on 2nd page but to my surprise for both baby photo and baby photos, I am ranked on Page 1 and it was indeed a very good acheivement for me. I have attached the screenshot for my own archives 
The ranking keeps changing so having such screenshots in place will make a happy memory
