Hi Folks! I'm a little bit confused about my keyword analysis. I have made a comparison between the two of my keywords and I'm a little bit confused about the result.

According to Google Adword Tool, my keyword (keyword1) which have a high level of competition and low global monthly searches has ranked better than my other keyword (keyword2) having a low level of competition and high monthly searches than the other keyword.

How is that possible? :confused: I think I have done the same thing with those keywords and yet they ranked differently and weird.

Please give a light on it and explain it to me.

Hoping for your replies guys! Thanks!

    It sounds like you're using the Google keyword tool to gauge the competition? If so, that's the advertiser competition (Adwords advertisers - PPC ads).

    Check that you are using the exact search results and not broad in Google Keyword Tool.

      If everything is equal on both pages (on page and offpage optimization) it's probably the competition. From what you say one (at least) won't be visible in MarketSamurai or TrafficTravis. You could try analyzing it manually using Firefox and the seoquake addon, and searching Google ("keyword" - for competing pages, intitle and inurl searches, etc), but it's not as effective and much slower. You can try entering your URL in Google's keyword tool and seeing what Google thinks is the relevant keywords (doesn't always work) and try optimizing it from there, play around with the h1, h2, h3, keyword placement, etc. But all things being equal it's probably the competition.

      When analyzing the keyword use exact, use the other two to build a bigger/broader keyword list.
