Hi guys,

I just had a question


What is the most accurate and most detailed piece of software/service for analyzing top 10 search engine competition for a keyword - that works effectively in 2013.

I know Market Samurai's and Traffic Travis's SEO competiton tools are popular choices, but I wanted to know if there are other more effective and detailed tools out there, so you have the best idea of which keywords you could rank for...

  • I usually run a pretty large list of keywords through Traffic Travis to get a rough estimate. Then, the ones that look promising, I'll dig it a little deeper and do some research on individual sites.

    One of the main things I try and do is identify as many of the backlinks as possible from the sites in the top 10. Then, see if I can get links from these sources as well.
  • I've used Market Samurai for this for quite a while...
  • Yep I second Mike's opinion of installing SEOquake and looking directly at page 1 results in google itself, nothing is quicker to see what type of authority is on page 1...
