I can't decide whether a keyword is good or not
Here is an example of 2 keywords.
1- Are these keywords easy to rank?
2- Which keyword is easier?
First Keyword: 3 words
Google Keyword Tool: 4,400 Global , 4,400 Local , $1.14 CPC
Search Results: About 1,160,000 results
Double Quotes Search Results: About 89,300 results
Market Samurai:


Second Keyword:3 words
Google Keyword Tool: 2,400 Global , 2,400 Local , $1.40 CPC
Search Results: About 1,590,000 results
Double Quotes Search Results: About 53,600 results
Market Samurai:

    In my opinion both of them are not so good. I would search for other if I were you.

    If you are doing it for organic traffic, you should be fine. But if you are going to use paid traffic, I recommend using a long tail keyword with lower competition. That will reduce your advertising cost. If you are, I recommend using Yahoo Search marketing, I only pay about 4 cents per click.
    My secret is to use "misspelled keywords" and typos, to minimize the cost I have to bid per keyword
    Best of luck!

      One of the keywords had 40% competition on SERPIQ.

      Organic traffic.
      I will try to rank well on Google by good content and backlinks.

    How about you post the keywords here so we can all help you look

    Just kidding! Yea from the Market Samurai screen it looks like a fair amount of competition. Definitely not a super easy set to rank for, but definitely not impossible either.

    All it takes is more unique content and better backlinks then your competition.
