Hi all,

I don’t really know how to measure the likeliness of being successful with the keywords I choose in my website. I would like to be ambitious - but realistic!! so I found this formula on the web;-

% = (Approx Average Search Volume/total results) * 100

Monthly Approx Average Search volume, found from Google keywords tool, and total Google results for that keyword.

This gives a percentage and I would like to know if this is a good approach, and what percentages are realistically achievable?

You can a visual representation of the competition can be seen on the green bar. Google probly use a similar (albeit more advanced) forumula to calculate the bar.
