[Ultimate Guide] How to Analyse SERP and Keyword Competition

[Holzr]

Great guide, I will read it again and again when I'll get more time



Just to be clear, are you saying these 3 high volume keywords are examples of a good opportunity to try to rank (based on your guide) ? Sorry if it is a dummy question, as I said I will read your guide again with more time, but I ask that just to be sure

Practice what I have shared in the article and you can find out. I've not analyzed them at all so I can't say, I can only give my initial opinion.

perfect guide but not understand what to do with 250 monthly search volume keyword in to rules of .25 score of KGR you mentioned. its already very low search volume

Search volume is not everything, calculating the value of a keyword is much more important than judging a keyword by its search volume.

Is it correct to say that: if the result of allintitle is around 250 or lower a site would appear in the top 100 ?

Awesome guide @Holzr. You nailed it completely. I was following this KGR method for a while, and it works in some case. But it's not about relying on the no. Only as you said. Nice explanation and hope to get some more like this in future

Been waiting for such a thread, so thank you.

So I should not look for keywords with more than 250 searches per month?

Is it correct to say that: if the result of allintitle is around 250 or lower a site would appear in the top 100 ?

The number of Google results that have the keyword phrase in the title divided by the local monthly search volume, where the LMS is less than 250.

If the KGR is less than 0.25, then you should rank in the top 100 when your page is indexed.

So, if you have a keyword with 250 MS and 250 allintitle you have a 1.00 KGR:

You should still rank in the top 250 when the KGR is between 0.25 and 1. And it should be pretty fast.

So I should not look for keywords with more than 250 searches per month?

No, you need to evaluate the monthly value of each keyword rather than looking just at the search volume. With the KGR the original formula looks at keywords under 250 MS but you should use the rule of 63 if you want to calculate the KGR for terms above 250 MS.

How can you explain this?

I have a blogspot site with DA of about 5.
If I search on google, the exact title of a post from that website (5 - 8 words) my website is nowhere, no matter if I had 400 or 1600 word articles.
But if I search on "google images", the same title, an image from my page is in first 5 results.
I had no back-links, only a few facebook shares, and the pages I'm talking about are indexed.

It's strange how Google prefer to offer pages from websites with DA 40 - 90+ , instead of offering results from smaller websites, but with content better optimized for a search query.
I'm talking about post titles, not long tail keywords, and my website is nowhere in search, until I search the same query in "google images".

I have gone through this article and will confess its really helpful. I'd like to ask a question though. I came across a long tail keyword of 2900 monthly search and the kgr is 0.0055. That's to say the all in title search came back with 16 search result. Is it possible to rank this keyword in the top 10 results on google?
