Is the SEOTCR really that important in judging competitiveness?
- SEO |
SEOC - SEO Competition - The total number of webpages that mention a specific keyword term, in the same (phrase) word order, in Google's index.
SEOTC - SEO Title Competition - The total number of webpages that mention all of the words in a keyword term in the title of the page.
SEOTCR - SEO Title Competition to SEO Competition Ratio - This is the ratio of SEOTC to SEOC. A low score can indicate weak competition in a market.
Is the SEOTCR really that important in determining the difficulty of getting to page one of Google? Is this really a good indicator of competitiveness?
Or are there better ways of gauging the strength of competition and thus one's ability to get ranked?
Or am I better just looking at things like (referring to those sites already on page one) pagerank, age, total backlinks to a page, total backlinks to a site as a whole, their title/description/H1 tags, Yahoo directory and DMOZ submission, etc.?
