Competition generally means the number of results you get when searching for that particular term on a search engine. You'll have to factor in other considerations when deciding on the competitiveness of a keyword - the number of results it generates is only the beginning.
Here's a helpful article on how to conduct a keyword research: http://www.firstclickconsulting.com/search-marketing-centre/search-engine-optimisation/keyword-research-for-seo/20-seo-category/58-keyword-research-for-seo |

There is no mystery in going after competitive keywords, they just require more time (for authority to develop), more content (to reinforce relevance) and more link diversity (to create the right link profile) for success.
1) Perform a search query with the keywords “in quotes”. This is a quick way to assess the benchmark of exact match (how many sites are competing for the term).
2) Perform an allinanchor check allinanchor:domainname.com , if it matches up, then you know that the exact match is fairly accurate in determining the barrier to entry.
3) Find the top 3 sites and cross reference their age, back links and number of respective pages on the subject (SEO Quake is perfect for analysis).
If you see a page ranking for the phrase, other than the home page, then check the number of links pointing at it externally. Then analyze those links (with SEO quake) to see if they have authority. Most sites for moderately competitive phrases are only augmented by a handful of external links. Then it is merely a metric of quality, relevance and timing to outrank their page. |

Ledford there are a lot of elements you need to consider but here is the 3 basic areas you need to consider first is your knowledge of the product or service that you're marketing. and choose at least one word that characterizes the product or service you offer . Second, The customers.. Customers can be your best source for valid and relevant keywords, because you're trying to reach people just like them. and lastly is the competitors try to check on their respective websites for additional keywords.

Google and Yahoo both got a nice tool for this. Yahoo one would give you actual search numbers, whereas Google would show a comparison chart pretty much. |

A word or words used by a searcher on a search engine. In SEO, keywords are the words that a website is optimised to rank for and in PPC, keywords are bid on by advertisers. In Online Reputation Management, a keyword is a term that is used when searching the Internet for mentions. You can determine if the keyword your using is competitive,if your site improves its link popularity.Fresh content is key. Writing fresh and quality content regularly will keep your visitors coming back, and when spiders notice you update regularly they will visit your site more. Your content must be of value to human visitors as that is what search engines are constantly looking for. |

Based on the emails and response you received and it's also matter of researching the number of searches done, which isn't totally accurate, but it can give *relative* numbers, and then checking how many pages are returned for the search at Google (and now, Yahoo). Beyond that, one of the most telling is to look and see who the competition is. If there aren't very many SEO'd sites it generally isn't as difficult to compete as in areas where it's obvious that sites have had "professional" optimization done or are using aggressive techniques. |
