Best tool to research keyword competition?

[UNDƎRCAT]

What do you consider to be the best tool to research your keyword competitors? Their ranking, backlinks, etc. I will be monetizing through AdSense.

ScrapeBox?

Thanks for any replies.

SEOmoz Opensiteexplorer and Keyword Difficulty Tool.

Any others? I'm going to have a look at SERPAttacks - seems promising!

i use market samurai

TraficTravis(similar in some ways to market samurai), seoquake, google queries.

I've tested market samurai but it is to slow for my pc for now. So for seo competition module I like trafic travis.

I use TraficTravis as well, combined with google adwords and regular seach on google (inurl & intitle).

But I think the more serious people on bhw don't like tt that much!?

Yeah I've seen that mentioned around here (that they don't like TT).

I'm looking for a more automated way to compile competition statistics for given keywords than the classic manual searching.

Market Samurai ($149...~$50 discount available if you search) : Seems to be at the top of the list around here. Some say it's too slow (and they've had some recent troubles), but it's my favorite.

Traffic Travis (free and $99 pro version) : Nice interface and speed, but too basic IMO.

SERPAttacks (free and $47 pro version) : Closest to Market Samurai, but does lack a few items that some consider particularly important. Close second to Market Samurai (and cheaper).

Google Keyword Tool (free) : Some say this is the best, but others find it difficult to use. Personally, I like MS and SERPAttacks better, but this tool is just fine.

Good luck!

What I don't like about Traffic Travis and M.S. (besides the fact that its slow), is that you can only check a certain number of competitors and their backlinks PER keyword, and not multiple keywords at a time.
