How to know which keyword are easy or hard to rank for?

    When it comes to keyword research, what strategy do you guys follow? The keyword difficulty score varies for the same keyword if you enter it in different keyword research tools, so that's kind of unreliable.
    But when I check the stats of the sites ranking on page 1 for a particular keyword, what is the threshold I should tend to stick to?
    I've been sticking to a DA and PA of less than 30 for at least 1 of the first 5 results so it's correct or not? and please correct me if I'm wrong

    You can just use the keyword planner in Googles Adwords. Just create a Google Adwords account, it is free.

    The times of focusing on a single keyword for all page are long one. Make sure your posts contain all the relevant terms and phrases correlated to your topic. For more help with finding long-tail keywords, how to find LSI (long tail) keywords, once you’ve known your primary keywords.

    Not sure why stated this. As per my understand only matters what kind of competitors are on top 10 those are exactly targeting the same keywords.
    For example, if you select the keywords those have very less no. of search volume and competition but if the same keywords are being targeted by the big brand or well-authorized sites then it is quite impossible to rank on top 10.

    A number of different factors. Long tail easier to rank for, less competitive niches easier to rank for, check competition if they are hiring SEO, etc.

    Choosing a keyword with good volume, but not too much volume, In general you don’t want to target a keyword that has low relative search volume if there’s an equivalent term that is much more popular.

    Keyword research is a process. Once you gut-check keywords and check their competitive history during your keyword discovery and research phase, you have to prioritize which keywords to shoot for. That’s plenty of work in itself before you even get to the ongoing climb of optimizing your content to get there.Should I go for that keyword? A keyword’s Ranking Difficulty score measures how difficult it would be to rank in those top search results. We added scores on a 1-100 scale to help you gauge it without guessing or interpretation.
