Unfortunately I was too busy actually doing this stuff at the moment lol to take part in Wordstream’s neat group interview – The Ultimate Guide To Keyword Competition (essentially, determining how competitive a keyword niche is), but it’s neat stuff nevertheless and worth a read and bookmark if you’re drawing plans against a particular keyword vertical.
Before targeting a new keyword vertical, it’s imperative to evaluate the difficulty of the market. This is done through competitive keyword analysis. Search marketers estimate how much time and effort it may take to achieve top rankings for particular keywords or search terms. But the question is, how do you judge keyword competitiveness? What are the factors involved in gauging keyword competition effectively? Is there a specific keyword tool or tools you can use to analyze the competitiveness of keywords?
I might have a go at posting my tip here, later on in the month…. as it’s different from what I see published.
Still, great article :)
Note – Check out our article on keywords density and it’s importance in SEO for Google.

I tend to see by doing myself – just steam in and get a feel. BB
