I am not going to forgive you.

I personally do not trust serpbook for seo comp or anything other then rankings, however, in case you would like to get it researched, you can pm me the 4 keywords and I will have it checked and sent back to you. Only if you are comfortable with it.

I use different tools in seo comp in serpbook.

If you need any help on keywords ask me and can help you sure. Just PM me your keywords and i tell you the competition. It will help you lot.

Judging SEO comp is something you learn overtime.

After you rank your first website you can look at your competition and say ok they had xyz links and it took me x months to rank.

After that you can judge a lot of stuff within minutes of looking at the top sites in pretty much any keyword.

Asap is right.

But I would like to say something people over look (Even KW 'Experts').

Look past the top ten, Top 20 at least. Now a days in SERPs you can have Amazon in top ten twice, Walmart, and CNN in top ten with no direct links to the page. The rest of the top ten can all be ecommerce sites but you may think you can beat them.

Then you look at page two, and find ten sites all targeting the KW with a hidden PBN, several hundred links to that exact page, and a couple Sape links.

When you look at top ten, and in most KW competition programs the type of KW I mentioned would be relatively easy or medium at most. When you look past page one you can find a whole lot of ugly. Page one has a lot to do with CTR.

I am trying to say be extensive. If you do that you should have no problem.
