How to find easy keywords to rank for?
-
We've got fantastic results from a keyword here. After we signed up for SeoMoz, we found that, for luck, this was a very easy keyword (1%) to rank for.
How can I find more easy keywords?
-
Well the question was "How can I find more easy keywords? " keywords people place in their meta tags are usually challenging and even if they are not challenging one must do the research to figure out if they are challenging... Another thing I like to do is check for related searches in a google search

True but since sites still have them it's a good indicator of what people are optimizing for. That's my point.

Meta tag keywords are not good for SEO anymore, Bing looks at this as a spam indicator. If the site you are looking at still has these tags on their site they are probably not up to date with the latest practices.... I wonder how good their phrases will be
-
All depends on your industry. What I would do is look at your main competitors and check out the source code to look at their meta tag keywords and start from their. You do this best using Firefox browser, right clicking, view source code. All the info will be in the head, top of the page. Then I'd run an analysis using the keyword tool here or using the keyword tool google provides. I hope this helps and good luck.

Use Google keyword tool to find good keyword phrases. (be sure to check [exact] field on the left of page) This tool will also suggest other keywords for you. The thing is it will show competitiveness for Google Adwords not organic results soo...
Once you have the keywords you want...
Check SEOmoz keyword tool to see how competitive each phrase is. Since you are a pro member you can check 5 at a time.

Rank checking tool for keyword analysis
We are looking for an ideally free suitable rank checking tool to perform a keyword analysis. Previously we used Firefox Rank Checker but currently this is not working effectively as it once did. We use Authority Labs as a paid tool to track rankings but this is a rank tracking platform and not so effective for a once-off rank check to perform a keyword analysis. Any thoughts, help or ideas here would be super appreciated!

I show a MON icon (it looks like a calendar page) for all my google rankings. The icon is not clickable. Can anybody tell me what this is? Also, I use to be highly ranked in 100's of keywords in google now barely anything. The domain is several years old and has performed in well in the past. Can't figure out what is going on.

Bulk keyword competition tool?
The SEOmoz Keyword Difficulty tool is great, but the 5 keyword limit is too small. I need a tool that will allow checking the organic competition level of 100's of keywords (to help in selecting blog topics). Anyone know of such a tool?

Are keywords rankings a zero sum game for our site?
We’ve made pages with resources for our customers. These pages have been well received and gotten us some good traffic. But these pages only target our main keywords tangentially. If we continue to build up pages like this -- that give us traffic from our customers, but don’t directly target our main keywords -- will our target keywords -- and the pages that focus on those keywords -- suffer? Is it a zero sum game for our web site? Does increasing rankings and pages for certain keywords mean that other keywords / pages decrease as a result?

Keyword variations
I have a question about keyword variations. To be specific, let's say "blue upside down cars" has low competition but fairly low traffic. However, the shortened variation "upside down cars" has low competition but extremely high traffic. Can I double my bet by going ahead and using "blue upside down cars" whereby in some instances Google would refer traffic based on the entire keyword, but it would also refer traffic based on the the last part of the keyword which has the higher traffic ("upside down cars"). In this case, we would optimize around "blue upside down cars" with hopes of getting traffic for both keywords (the long tail and longer tail). Is there any reason not to pursue this strategy? I hope I made sense!

Why is Adwords Keyword Tool showing zero search volume for popular keywords?
When I try to ascertain search volume for the the words "pills" "drugs" and "medicine" it is showing "-" for all types of search volume, including phrase, exact, and broad. Why is this?
