Difference between keywords?

I researched two different keywords and I'm wondering if it really makes a difference.

For the sake of the example, let's say my keyword is "Computer." It has 3,900 monthly exact searches and 0 competition.

When I added an "S" to the end of my keyword ("Computers"), I found that it had 9,400 monthly searches and very, very low competition. The bar was so tiny I could barely see it.

How do I know which one to go with?

Thank you!
 


What bar? If you're talking about PPC Competition then you're right.

SEO Competition requires you analyze the Top 10 ranking sites.
 
When I'm researching keywords in semrush and spyfu, my results are similar to yours. But when I'm searching something in google for my non-internet marketing needs, I use singular form of the word. I used to believe keyword tools, so if i were you, i'll put plural form of the word as the main keyword.

Not at all advisable to look at when looking for competition buddy. Do this as first step Download SeOquake > go to google.com/ncr (outside US) and search for "keyword".

Look for the Top 10 and look at their PR and pointing backlinks. That way you'll have some look at the competition more closer that the adwords result. But still not finished yet cause you need to do more analysis that's just an overwiew.

I just beat Microsoft and cnet with one search phrase close to your keyword even with High PR you can beat them. One thing is I own the "keyword dot com and" according to my research the "main target keyword" is not used in the anchor text of the backlinks of microsoft/cnet and top 10, so it's not their target. Google just cannot find something that gives out "keyword" so they look for something close in my case the close one is microsoft and cnet. So when my site came it got to the top1 in no time. Real gem :D

My 2 cents,
Walter
