QUESTION ABOUT DIFFERING KEYWORD TOOL RESULTS:

Our Keyword Research Steps:
- Found 'HOW BEGINNERS MAKE MONEY ONLINE' in LowHanging list (not exact wording!)
- 'Traffic' = 862
- 'Competing Pages' = 5

QUESTION:
When you look at the WA Keyword Tool + Jaaxy 'HOW BEGINNERS MAKE MONEY ONLINE' the results are:
- 'Traffic' = 11
- *'Competition' = 29
(*Listed as 'Competition', not 'Competing Pages' -- is this the same thing?)

We are wondering why the results shown in the keyword tools are different from the results shown in the Low Hanging list?

In other words...

Why does the Low Hanging list show this:
- 'Traffic' = 862
- 'Competing Pages' = 5
and the WA Keyword Tool + Jaaxy show this:
'Traffic' = 11
'Competition' = 29

Thank you to anyone who can help!

...Thanks again Trish!
(Still curious why the values given in Kyle's Low Hanging Fruit list is different than the keyword search results (using the WA & Jaaxy Tools), so have to check into that further... but now I can't find the Diamond Traffic Low Hanging list I saw about 4 days ago :( Oh well, hoping it'll all come together some how or other.

Thank you, Dom, this was really detailed and helpful!

I have a question on my own search. My niche is a particular weight loss system called the HCG diet. Searching for "hcg diet recipes" shows 3039 searches (that seems pretty good), 517 for traffic, and just 176 competing pages (yay!). If I understand the numbers correctly, then "hcg diet recipes" is a decent keyword for me.

But can it really be that easy? It was the first thing that popped into my head, I didn't have to brainstorm or dig deeper, it's grammatically correct, I can use it on tons of different recipe posts... Is this really low-hanging fruit? I feel like I must be missing something!

Yes, that sounds pretty good but you have to think about who is typing and searching for that? Is that the person you want? Or are they searching for how to loose weight naturally or safely? or whatever makes sense for your diet product. If you think people will type HCG then maybe that's good. I would not type that so you would not get me.

Thanks for your reply Wayne! Yeah, I know, I'm assuming people have already heard about the HCG diet. But that's the niche I'm targeting -- people who want information/resources/recipes/encouragement for that particular system. It's similar to targeting people searching "weight watchers diet recipes" or "atkins diet recipes." From what I've been learning on here so far (and it's only been a week!) it's better to target a smaller audience, where you have a chance to provide quality content and become one of the voices that's heard, rather than try to reach everyone in the world who's trying to decide on a diet plan!

Thank you for this tutorial. First thing I did after going premium was check out the key word tool and got confused about what the numbers mean. Great help :)

Hi DomW ! interesting discussion.. i am interested to know if the QSR is under 300, but with less traffic & more than 50 searches should be considered...i am quite confused when i did my analysis for back-pain relief my niche..

Traffic all adds up, but for something that low, I'd want at least under 100 QSR or it's not worth it.
