Hello guys,

I am new to Warrior forum. I am learning SEO from past 6 months. I want to ASK HOW TO CHECK Keyword Competition for any keyword in google search ?:confused:

I know many people will say use adword/keyword planner but this is used to check ads competition not search competition.. Please any SEO expert help.

      Here's exactly what I do.

      1) Install Mozbar for Google Chrome

      2) For each keyword

      a) Search each keyword and look at the top 5 rankings

      b) What you want to look out for is high DA domains (80+). These are going to be your authority sites that are going to be very difficult to overcome. If the top 10 are completely populated with high DA domains, its probably not worth the resources to go after. It doesn't mean your site is worth giving up. There's always some keyword variation that yields a high amount of searches but has less competition.

      c) Also look out for a high amount of backlinks. If you see sites with lowish DA (20-40), then these are sites that will be in your competition range. Look at the number of links they have, which will give you an idea of how many links you'll need to reach that level. I try not to compete with keywords that have over 100 links.

      3) Caveats and exceptions to these rules

      a) If theres someone doing SEO in the top 10, I go for it right away. With the techniques I use, I can blow any amateur SEO out of the water (namely high PR/PA/DA backlinks from relevant sites). SEO sites are easy to spot. Look for exact match in the URL or affiliate links on site.

      b) If people don't have the exact match in the Title or URL. A lot of times, people will be ranking because the synonyms are in their Title and URL. Let's use 'dog training' as a hypothetical example. If the top 10 spots had a bunch of folks with 'canine obedience', then you'll have an easier time since you'll have the exact match in your Title and URL.

    What do you mean by keyword competition? Do you mean that the pages who are competing of that certain keyword terms? Google search itself is the answer. If you want to know the Advertiser Competition, you can check Spyfu.com
