Hello,
If you are looking into competition levels for a specific keyword, you can utilize the "Difficulty" rating in Moz's Keyword Explorer. If you are using this tool, you should also be mindful of the "Priority" rating for a keyword which takes into account search volume, competition (difficulty), and opportunity for each term. If you are looking for low competition keywords, I suggest diving into keyword research for long-tail queries that are relevant to your head terms. These are less frequently searched terms but tend to be less competitive and drive more specific visitors.
In terms of the Difficulty, Opportunity, and Priority metrics in Moz's Keyword Explorer, Rand provided great write ups for these explaining these metrics in detail and providing insight into 'sweet spots' for each.

Keyword search tool or API
Anyone have a suggestion for a simplistic (scaled down) version of a keyword research tool that I can put on our website? We need our clients to be able to perform some basic keyword research on their own without getting lost in the details of something too robust. We would like to control aspects of the tool, capture the data from the site visitor and move those results (from their searches) into a database or other web application.

Is there a way to check what keywords a competitor is ranking for?
Hi Guys I have been working on a site and I'm doing better but I just want to ensure I am covering all the bases. I have a list of competitors and I want to see if I can find out what keywords they are ranking for so I can research and see if there is any merit in me trying to rank for those keywords also? Is there any software or processes that any of you can recommend? Thanks

Prioritizing Keywords
Hi Everyone, I've been using many of the articles to find out the best way to create a list of long tail keywords I wish to target. Anyway, I used Google AdWords Tool in order to find out how many Global/Local Searches per month, and the Keyword Difficulty Tool on this site in order to find the difficulty score. With these two metrics, I've compiled a good list, but I wanted to know how people prioritize keywords. I was thinking of creating a formula in excel in order to compare both the difficulty score and the amount of searches, but I wanted to know other people's advice and how they decided to prioritize the long tail keywords they compiled. I am still a bit of a newbie at this, so any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
