Not sure if it's what you meant, but the "competition" in the google keywords tool is the level of competition between advertisers gunning for a spots on the search results or on adsense enabled websites.

Traffic Travis is a good indicator of SERP competition and even better, it has a free version.

Thanks

I second that

I also checked serp attack site, as Kadztheman suggested, it seems to be good - but I still have to download and run it.

  You can't just rely on the tool alone to do the keyword research. To be honest, in the end you need to manually understand what makes a difficult easy or difficult to rank for.
  
  Unfortunately with most keyword tools, many of them base their competition scores on 'incorrect' seo factors, thus giving you discrepancies (as you experienced in your case) in what the seo competition of a keyword REALLY is.
  
  I wrote a complete comprehensive guide to figuring out how to measure and evaluate keyword competition manually, then transferring those basic fundamental analysis skills in to the appropriate software/tools. Personally, using the free version of Traffic Travis + Ultimate Niche Finder I have found to be the absolute most efficient way of finding low competition keywords. I first use Ultimate Niche Finder to do bulk keyword research and then I manually verify all the 'very easy-easy' keywords from Ultimate Niche Finder in Traffic Travis to make sure Traffic Travis states they are easy as well.
  
  And most importantly, I also view other factors MANUALLY before determining whether a keyword is going to be easy to rank for or not. For example, I check to see if the on-page seo is competitive, whether the article is engaging and relevant + keyword dense + LSI dense, I check to see if forums are ranking at the top, etc.
  
  Thanks

  I use the free version of Traffic Travis, then after it gives me a "easy" score, I manually verify the results in the google serps.
  
  One thing to note, the competition thing in Google Keyword Tool is only a competition indicator for Google AdWords, not how difficult it is to rank.
  So unless you are running an ad using Google AdWords, this is meaningless to you.
  
  Two small tips on seeing if a keyword is easy or not:
  1) Is the phrase search result count within 100,000? (You search using "")
  2) Is there a youtube video on page one?
  
  I find these two indicators really handy for quick keyword research.
  
  Thanks

Agreed . So many plugins come out to improve keyword research but almost all of them still refer back to the source Google so why not just start there?

Did you tried Traffic Travis, it could be good indicator of how the competitors are doing.
Firstly, never trust a tool that says its easier to rank or its hard to rank. They are not at all accurate, different tools show different results.

What you need to do it to get the data related to the sites, analyze it and see if you can rank for it or not. Get the no. of external backlinks(high pr), Page rank, SEO.. etc. and see what you need to do in order to outrank them. Reverse engineer the sites who are already ranking well.

Google keyword tool is the one for me.

Thanks

I use several tools, I use keywordcanine for mostly everything. It is a niche finder but a keyword tool or nichefinder tool are pretty much the same thing.

I think they are full but you can get on the waiting list. Yes it cost just like all the ones do.

I do not like google keyword tool, you get one information then go to adwords and it all changes. I might see a bid for 75 cents for page one but when I add it to a adwords campaign it says, well below the 2.50 min bid for page one. No google is about ridiculous now.

I am using keyword sniper pro. it searches search results and monthly search volume in the software itself so no need to search each keyword in google individually.

Any keyword with >1000 <5000 with low competition and near $1 CPC is gold keyword.

Thanks

You can use Google Keyword tool or Google Adwords to analyse the keyword and look at the competition on a particular keyword with global as well as monthly searches.I guess you can't get better then this.

You can check the competition of any keyword manually too. Use allintitle:keyword for analyzing the competition of any keyword. This will help you in understanding how many people are using your keyword in their title.

Secondly, you can also check the number of backlinks of top 10 websites ranking for your keyword. You may need more backlinks then those websites to outrank them. Backlinks will give you a fair idea about the competition.

24 replies and not one has mentioned SEO Spyglass. Guess not one person above knows how to do proper keyword research...

PS - LOL at using MarketSamurai to gauge competition. The metrics tell you absolutely nothing! So a site has 500 backlinks... big fukkin deal! What are the QUALITY of those backlinks! Are those all PR 0s or PR10s?? Are those links even up? Remember, MS uses MagesticSEO and they don't update their often. Of those backlinks, are they all from the same domain? Are they even really your competition? What anchor texts and keywords are they using? Etc. etc. etc. MS gives you NONE of these important data when researching competition!

Your right, clearly nobody here knows how to do proper keyword research; and you're way of executing it is the only and absolute definition of keyword research.

...

:rolleyes:

Slow your roll.

Ignoring your elitism and condescension, You have some good points in your post; unfortunately it's riddled with unnecessary/inaccurate points as well, or things that are VERY open to debate.

Majestic SEO not updating their results often? First time I've heard that. There are unreliable site explorers out there, but Majestic is certainly not one of them. Sure, there are probably better, however MSEO is not an inferior tool as you brush it off.

Gauge =/= Complete analysis. Experienced keyword research experts can pick out 100+ profitable MICRO-NICHE keywords that would rank with "better than competitor" content + On-Page SEO + a few bookmarks/social signals. However, if they/we were to go in to the level of analysis you describe (which is actually not necessary for MNS keywords), that keyword production would slow to a crawl, and be a lot less automated.

Personally, I think MS GUI and performance is crap and extremely slow; but it actually does tell you referring domains. Majestic SEO also tells you anchor text being used.
