Ok, I know that this is a general question and too broad, so I will narrow it down
I am using a tool (if it is ok to say what it is let me know cause I like it ) that gives
Please read this very important post:

OK, I will , but I kinda needed a direct answer, cause the more I read the more I know and the more I hesitate
It's good you hesitate to go into areas with big competition. Really...my direct advice is to go for something with little competition, That doesn't mean you ignore areas of big competition, because you can learn a lot about what they do.
When it comes to competition, you are really more or less competing for 1st place in search engines which is essentially competing for traffic. The recurring theme I get at WA is to forget about competition, and focus on delivering quality content, with SEO optimization, for your visitors. I see SEO optimization as short term strategy for initial ranking in search engines, and quality content as long term strategy to obtain new traffic, referrals and returning customers. Between the two, I would focus more on quality content over SEO optimization.
Again, I would review Kyle video in the link above, because you maybe successful in obtaining 1st place on search engines, but then to monetize on the traffic is another matter.
I already went through it , don't worry I am avoiding them all , I decided to go for it , I am sure at least I will learn a lot from it , and I know how to earn back the cost of the domain so it is a win win situation , If it doesn't work out as I hope and didn't get ranked for 1st place I will still have made enough money to make it worth my while , and I will be able to follow through with my certification and don't waste more time :)
Thanks a lot for the advice though :D

Most important factors when measuring the competition ??

You know Bk. I have been here 4 months and haven't found a niche, because I know the importance now is not about making money, or the competition, or the factors above you talk about. What I learned is this:
If you are doing this for the money, you are starting off incorrectly. I did this, and failed.
If you want to make this affiliate marketing work, you must first be passionate about what it is your niche covers, because you will possibly be writing content on this subject for the first year without any revenue coming in. Sure you want to be able to monetize your niche as well, certainly. But passion comes first. What are you passionate about?
Competition can be over come with your learning here. Do not let that get in your way of choosing your niche. I've been told by Kyle that I could be running right beside his url in first page google myself doing the same things he has done. Just takes time. So. Think about it.
Passion first.
content...meaning 100 posts, blogs are articles to get started.
Don't be so critical of the technical stuff starting out. This hurt me as I tend to think of these things instead of writing content!
And of course read the post Lemm has directed you to. This is a good lesson.
If you are overly concerned with competition at this point, you need to go back through the lessons on competition and read again, what Kyle says. That will help I think. It is good to be concerned of course, just not overly so.
Good luck to you!
