Tell me, what does ADWORDS competition has to do with ORGANIC competition? You're judging ADWORDS competition (the number of people competing in PAID search). What does this has to do at all with what the actual competition is in the SERPs?
Looking at your posting history I'm very tempted to dismiss you as a troll.
Adwords competition is not used for checking competition. I'm sure there is some sort of relation there, but its not a predictable enough correlation to use in favor of more traditional metrics.
The main reason you look at advertiser counts for a given long tail is because
1. Its one of many indicators you can use to analyze the commercial viability of the specific term.
2. For someone running adsense, having ads that are directly relevant to what the inbound traffic is looking for normally has a MASSIVE impact on click through rates and directly relates to your revenue. - Its the main differentiater between 2 and 10% click through.
so I can no longer purchase one emd at a time I have to purchase a min of 3?
I understand that. I just don't understand how will you measure ORGANIC competition for all this.
[beach cottage furniture] 880 720 0.82
880-global exact match
720 - local exact match
0.82 - cpc, right?
[gout symptoms foot] 0.44 1300 1000 $1.38 1745
0.44 - adwords competition
1000 - exact local
$1.38 - cpc
1745 = 1000*1.38 + some other stuff, right?
I just don't understand the competition factor, how do you measure it and how does it fits everything.
'reputation management' has thousands of searches, big CPC, also big competition (meaning potentially high AdSense CTR). But it has one factor that's the reason this keyword won't be included in your list and all I needed is an explanation of this particular factor, what is it etc.
EDIT: I'm really sorry it seems I figured what this is all about now...you're basically selling EXACT MATCH DOMAINS so more adwords competition for these is actually BETTER. I thought your primary value proposition were KEYWORDS TO TARGET. Sorry again man![]()
