However I'd like to add one thing that I've learned: While the amount (number of pages with your keyword) of competition is something to consider, I believe it is far more important to determine the STRENGTH of your competition. Before making a final decision on a target keyword, find out who's in the top 10 of the Google SERP. For each of those results, use Yahoo Site Explorer or something similar to get an idea of how many backlinks your competitors have and THEN make your decision to go ahead with your chosen keyword.

Plus don't forget that the keywords chosen must have a big amount of searches than the number of competitors that also aiming to rank on the same keywords.

The problem occurs when you have to figure out whether the keyword targeted is achievable or not. At the end of the day the keywords must be relevant to the products/services offered, and sometimes there isn't a huge amount of choice. Keyword research is really powerful.

Think it will become even more important with Google Instant. The right first few word of the title become essential with Instant. Agree with your point about the importance of the title.

I also look at the PR of the sites that are in the Top 10 of Google. A lot says PR doesn't really matter. But it helps me to determine the competitiveness of a keyword. What I do is I take the average PR of the Top 10 sites. If it's 3 or below, I take it as a low-competition keyword, 3-3.5 is average, 4 and beyond is highly competitive. Also, if there a PR 0 site in the Top 10, there's a greater chance of beating the competition. If I may just add my own keyword research technique.
