[Guide] Analyze Your SEO Competition Without Spending A Dollar

The Guide is awesome !! I will suggest you to add Domain Age Factor as well that way you can also comprehend how long it will take to rank the keyword
 
I knew from the start that i am no good at seo (2 websites, 1 website 6 months old not ranking at all, 2 website - over a year old not ranking now both closed). Bought keywords from both BHW and WF with tons of good reviews and all failed... now after reading this im even more confused.. well at least you saved me the time and money from trying it again...

Why don't you try and classify the keywords that you did buy using this guide? You'll rank if you try hard enough eventually. Also, what are you confused about?

The usage of tools is so clear, thanks for posting this guide
No problem. :)

Classify as in post them here ? And i did not buy any keywords using this guide i just went to the marketplace, look around who has the best and the most amount of reviews and... bought them.
As for what am i confused about is LSI keywords, i guess and how to identify if its actually low competition keyword or not? For first example you picked the keyword about the cats. All of the first results had high DA and PA but far as i can understand it doesnt mean much if you are not targeting that specific keyword in your title, url, h1`s right ?
So i decided to do some basic research on my own. I`ve used some free tools (mostly the ones that you mentioned in this or other threads like: Ubersuggest). So for example i picked "how to stop puppy from biting" (found it by using keywords everywhere plugin on chrome). Ubersuggest says its easy but im not so sure.. first result has the word "nipping" in the url, title, h1 and that is a synonim ? Other pages have similar keywords as well.
I watched one youtube video where a guy was talking about optimizing articles for seo and how google sees different keywords. For example if the keyword is related to dogs and your article has "K9" references in it google will see that as a keyword for dogs the same would go for puppy, shepherd etc. So even tho you dont have that exact keyword in your article or h1 you would still rank high. And that gives me confusion. How can i tell if it would be easy to rank if i dont see that exact keyword in competition on page seo but they have similar keywords. I know, to you and everyone else it probably sounds dumb and you are all wandering "Is this guy stupid, how can he not understand" but i dont... And thats why im glad i stumbled your thread cos otherwise i would have jumped into this for the third time.. use ahfres, kwfinder find the keywords that have like 10 difficulty buy articles, make a new website only to see yet another failure.. and sorry for the long post

No no, don't reveal your keywords to anyone, especially if you bought them.

The key to figuring out if a keyword is low competition is knowing if other (good) SEOs have tapped into that niche/keyword. If the top ranking sites have poor on-page it suggests that it is dominated by generic bloggers/inexperienced SEOs.

Don't blindly go with the keyword difficulty scores which third-party tools provide, you wouldn't need this guide if you could figure out the exact difficulty from tools.

Yes Google can figure out semantically similar keywords, all I'm saying is target niches where ranking sites have poor on-page optimization, which indicates that the niche is easy.

SEO is not really that simple, but if you stick to it long enough you'll eventually figure it out...

Also, the next time you decide to post something this long please, format it properly. :confused:

Markup is something which helps search engines or computers in general understand your webpage better.

And yes, markup can improve both your rankings and CTR.

For example, you might have seen something like this:
