SEO competition general question

[simplex1]

I'm new to SEO and I was wondering how hard it is to beat the competition.

When I search with google for a keyword like "good SEO keywords" there are like 1'300'000 results.

I was wondering,

1. how many results are "beatable(first page on google)" , and what are the costs to do so?
2. What is considered a good amount of monthly searches for a keyword?
3. What is considered a good ratio of monthly searches / competition sites?

All those questions' answers depends on the situation, we can not talk general because it is SEO! There are many updates on Google, so ı think nobody can be %100 accurate.

1. how many results are "beatable(first page on google)" , and what are the costs to do so?
--> Ignore the number of results Google yields, this has absolutely no baring on rankings.

2. What is considered a good amount of monthly searches for a keyword?
--> That depends on how profitable the keyword is to you. I've ranked for keywords that have a few hundreds searches per month, but are worth 10s of thousands per sale and other keywords that are worth a few hundred dollars per sale and have over 100,000 searches per month. Both could be considered equally valuable. It's not about the number of searches per-say, rather it's on the profit potential * volume.

3. What is considered a good ratio of monthly searches / competition sites?
--> Using various tools competition classifications isn't always reliable. In fact, I never use such tools to determine for me as I find they are wildly inaccurate. The difficulty depends entirely on your skill set.

This can't be answered unless there are more details, there are so many variables.
