Hi everyone, I am a lurker for a while on the forum but since last week, I decide to give a try and finally start my website.

I have found the primary ideas for my kw's, which seems nice but when it's time to analyse the competition, I'm a bit useless. Can someone give me a lead?

here's the infos for my 3 primary KW.:

1. Traffic: 559 PBR: 24% CPC 5.85$ Daily


2. Traffic: 61 PBR: 30% CPC 4.57$


3. Traffic 61: PBR: 16% CPC 15.20


So from what I understand, the competition is very high based on age and PR. But not sep optimize as most don't use the keywords on their title/url/desc/head. I'm I right? Then, if the previous statement is correct, does very good SEO, amazingly useful articles and good quality back links could outrank them or I aim for to high?

Now, I understand most of the tactics we can use, but it's more the power of those tactics that I'm not sure. If you think that the competition for my keywords are too strong, would you mind explaining me what I should look and aim in term of competition?

Most of the guides here explain what we should look in term of traffic/cpc/comp but merely talk about what kind competition we should aim.

Or it's me who haven't look at the good manuals

Thank! amazing forum here!

    Here is another example that I'm not sure, I have another website that is aiming a local niche, here's the infos:

    Traffic: 4158, PBR: 36% CPC 7.27$


    Now the only ones that I'm concern are those numbers 4 and 5, which are the only ones that focus on the exact product. None of them are seo optimized but one have a 9 year old domain but I know that the guy use black hat techniques since he start to get ranking. Do I have chance to outrank them?

    Last question, why number 5 is before number 6? from the graph, I would think number 6 is more powerful then number 5 and they are also way more important in that field then number 5... Is it the quality of back links?

      It's pretty simple. Market Samurai gives you absolutely no useful information for determining the level of SEO competition. Things like backlink counts and PR tell you nothing about how difficult something will be to outrank. You need to dig into the backlinks with a better tool to understand the level of competition.

        Got that, thank you. But then which are the better tools?

        Also, I just saw that my post is in the adsense, I meant to put it in the Main Internet, as my questions are not related to affiliate/adsense. Does a moderator can change the section?

        Thank!

    Something like SEO SpyGlass is far more useful for determining your competition. If you really want to do it right, sign up for Majestic SEO and SEOmoz and import the link data they have into SpyGlass with all its link data, and analyze the whole lot of them.
