I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on how to judge who is searching for a given keyword or keyphrase. For example, if you're a retailer selling taillights to consumers, how can you figure out which keywords are generally being used by consumers as opposed to those keywords being used by other taillight retailers (e.g. when they're looking for new taillight wholesalers)?

Just because terms may have high search volume, doesn't mean that they will convert. You want to spend your time and money going after the terms that are going to perform best for you! And, unless you're a big brand that has already established itself with the conversion terms, don't bother yourself with vanity terms! ;) Also, don’t forget to go after the terms that are going to have the best conversion rates first.

It just shows you that you need to understand your customers are looking for, (and not what words you think your competition is going after - cause they could be doing it wrong) and let that be the guide for the words you go after. Thanks for sharing your insights - this is great for anyone who needs a keyword research lesson!
