Low Competition Keywords

[blogger2013]

My blog, which started in May, is doing really well except with Google. My traffic is growing and so are my subscribers etc but my keywords have very high competition. I don't really like google's new keyword research tool. Any advice for finding keywords I have a chance with? I am only ranking in the top 50 for one keyword (#1-2 spot) but it doesn't give me a lot of traffic. Thanks!

blogger 2013, you started your blog for a reason and assume you did some research on the competition. Right? well let's go back and look at this research with some real basic common sense. Search like a human not a BOT. Moz tools are as Tommy noted great, Google is not going to be real accurate, " BUT FREE", and SHOULD get you on track. I suggest looking into your competition and reversing the search by looking at links to your competition, content, and code they show public. Otherwise be patient and hit the tough terms. Tommy is on target but be PATIENT and NATURAL.

Hi,

Google is blocking all the analytic on organic keyword search.  Therefore, i doubt there is any tools that can give you solid data on the low ranking keywords.  If you want to rank in Google, i suggest using Google's very own tool.  Google's keyword research tool is your best bet for a free tool.

You can also use Moz's analytic tool.  They give a 30 days free trial so give it a try using it to research for keywords.  http://moz.com/products
