Hi, Whats the best way to check how competitive a keyword is in Google? I have recently come a cross seo for firefox. It shows the number of links to a site, plus lots of other info on all the sites ranking for a certain keyword. Say you search for a keyword and you find that the top 5 sites have only a handfull of links pointiong to them. Is it safe to assume that this is not a very competitive niche from an seo point of view? Thanks razaw
Search results volume give a good indication for sure. If you find top positioning sites have few backlinks you have a good chance to fight if you do things right on your end.
