I posted in another thread of yours similar to the same topic. Keywords are easy to explain, but hard to properly optimize. Googles keyword tool is not really that affective, I personally use the SBI tool called "Brainstorm It". Keyword competition relates to how many people are searching for websites containing a keyword compared to how many sites also use that keyword, then of course their authority in the search engines. The best way to check competition is, as I said above, use Brainstorm it from SBI!, or use another great program called "Market Samurai". If you want to see if your site has ranked for that keyword, just use Google. Of you can also use Webmaster Tools from Google, or Analytics, that will also give you a good indication of what keywords are bringing users to your site from Google. A good PR will not always give you good SERP results either, your search results are based on keyword relevancy only.
Don't listen to the guy above about keyword tools. All you need is the free Google Keyword Tool. For your competition on keyword Distance Education, the first 4 links in Google for that word have PR 6,7,5,6 respectively. This will take you roughly about 2 years to get at least on first page of Google. However, none of the 4 sites have fully optimized titles. They all have some words in front of keyword "Distance Education". If your site's title is "Distance Education" with nothing else diluting the title, you have a much faster time ranking high. For backlinks, do not use 100% "Distance Education" anchor text links because Google will penalize you for that. It does not look normal. Here are tips for your anchor text links: Distance Education Distance Education Master Degree Online Distance Education Distance Education Courses Distance Education Degree Distance Education Programs Vary your anchor text links with the ones above, but primarily use "Distance Education". Don't expect to rank high in 2-3 months, but aim for long-term because this is a very tough keyword. Anymore questions just PM me.
