Rate my keywords please? <- Noob

hi, i recently joined the forum, and been reading alot.

these information is just another world i never knew before,

and its really confusing with all the terminologies without any basic background knowledge.

Any ways, i found a keywords , made out of two words that has
40500 both local and global search volume from g tool.

this keywords has 903 intitle g search, and 4400 inurl g search.

is this a good keywords i should be working on?

the top 5 sites from this keywords are such
1. - pr5 - alexa rank 1,961,564. linking in 78 sites.
2. - pr8 - alexa rank 2,829,946. linking in 6 sites.
3. - pr0 - alexa rank 2,737,063. linkin in 3 sites.
4. - pr4 - 1,190,649. linking in 49 sites.
5. - pr2 - 4,872,810. linking in 4 sites.


how is the competitions looking?
and also i am confused.

if a competitor is the sub-page of the big site (such as yelp, facebook, and in my case nyu edu), how should i treat the competitor? is it valued as a main domain so i have to compete with the main domain? or am i just competing with the sub domain? (alexa would only give me the main domain's info)


also, would u give me some tip for the tools i should be using?
now im just using google keywords tool , and alexa

thank you so much, i love this forum

man...pr means nothing...

i have several sites (4 to be more precise) that are PR0 and outrank PR4 and PR5 pages with more links more pages.

there is no secret. just write good quality content and get good quality links and in time (several months) you will outrank them.

Pay attention to the keyword count. Are they [EXACT] search count?

the data you provided is not enough. plz download market samurai trial version and run seo competition for you keyword. blurr the urls and post remainig screenshot here. that should be able to give some rough estimate. though pr is rubbish thing,but seeing a pr0 site in top 3 makes me feel happy.
also to answer about your question regarding authority ,i have never seen facebook ranking for commercial terms unless its related to fb . yelp is directort,which can be taken down easily. if you are talking about authority site in a parficular niche with good on page off page seo,it can be difficult . though cant be guessed without detailed data.

Get traffic travis and run your keyword through there, take a screenshot, blur our the keyword, and post a screenshot here. Or do the same thing in market samu.

If you want PM me the keyword and I'll tell you, I don't have the time to compete with you anyways.

Try looking for keyword with 1500 exact searches to around 10K.
:chicken_w

When i look for competition i look for the number of Anchor text links.

Sometimes a site has High pr but with low anchor links it can be outranked.

I have searched another keyword
this keywords has 3600 exact local search from google keyword tool.

from google search with the quotation marks wrapped, it was 10800, 51 pages long.
intitle = 3090, inurl - 2360, and for both intitle and inurl 1880

how is this keyword?

i can't post images here yet, you can go to enutive c~o~m slash seo

for traffic travis result, thank you guys
