The one thing you don't want to have to do is download the binary blob from nVidia and use it.  If you do, you'll have to reinstall it every time there's a kernel update.  Using either the kmod or akmod automates the process for you.

i'm sad because nothing work with nvidia driver installation steps.

here is what i did:
1st test:
su
yum update kernel\* selinux-policy\*
reboot
su
yum --nogpgcheck install http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
yum install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686

i get the following error message:
GPG key retrieval failed: [Errno 14] Could not open/read file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmfusion-non-fedora-18-x86_64

i got the same error message if i use: yum install kmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686

2nd test
/sbin/lspci | grep VGA

i see my graphic card is a NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT

next i typed: yum install akmod-nvidia

once again the same error message :-(

i search on internet and i just found that such package has no key... so what next ? :(
thx
