    The Google Adwords external keyword tool can't really be used to determine the competitiveness of a keyword phrase. It can be used to get a feeling for how many times per month people search for the keyword phrase.

    All you really need to determine the competitiveness of a keyword phrase is Google itself.

    • Search for the keyword phrase in double quotes ("my keyword phrase") to get a feel for the number of pages that have that exact phrase somewhere on the page. Note the number of results.
    • Search for intitle:"my keyword phrase" to find out how many pages have that exact phrase in the <title> element. Note the number of results.
    • Search for inurl:"my keyword phrase" to find out how many pages have that exact phrase in the URL. Note the number of results.
    • Search for intitle:"my keyword phrase" inurl "mykeyword phrase. Record the number of results.
    These last three searches especially are likely to reveal how many pages are active competing for that search term.
