I was checking the competition manually for a few keywords on google. And they all seemed like they weren't too bad to rank, it'll take a little more effort than some other keywords I found, making them seem like medium competition.

But I plugged them into Traffic Travis, and it showed medium difficulty, and difficult for a few others.

So heres my question: Should I just go with what I saw manually, or what Traffic Travis said?

Well Traffic Travis shows info on each keyword by showing top 10 competitors. Analyze them and decide if you can outrank them!

By the way are you using the Free version of Paid one? If paid, how many keyword analysis can you make per day?

in moz I will go for a keyword if it has anything between 30-50/60% difficulty to rank ,
and also see if top3-5 results have less than 2-3k backlinks.

Alright. I'll have a look at the top links manually, and look at their backlinks.
Thanks for the help everyone!
