Competitive analysis of any keyword list in less than 10 minutes

 If you've been following this blog, you probably know that I like to develop some custom tools to help me with generating keywords or niche ideas.

As effective as they are, the one key component still missing is further analysis. It's very easy to generate hundreds or even thousands of promising keywords using these tools, but you really need an automated way to tell the really good ones from the probably less profitable ones.

For that, I rely almost exclusively on Nichebot - one of the best keyword research services I know. I am working on a separate review of that service, but the key benefits that you get are as follows:

• access to databases of Wordtracker, Keyword Discovery and Google - all from one place
  
• credit system - if you're not a very heavy researcher, but need a continued access to the service, Nichebot will cost you a lot less than any monthly plan from Wordtracker or Keyword Discovery. And even if you cancel your subscription, you can still use any remaining credits - for life!
  
• multitude of other helpful tools - you can read more about them here. Even better, you can try the service for 14 days paying just $1 - you get 15 credits, which is enough to generate a list of 15,000 keywords with search counts!

Anyway, the tool that's especially handy in our scenario is called The Count Collector:

You just paste your keywords or upload a text file and hit confirm.

The Count Collector will then use the Keyword Discovery database to check search counts for each of your keywords. You will be charged 1 credit for each 100 keywords checked.

When you have your results, you can also perform a competitive analysis.

If you need to check just the supply (number of competing pages), it costs nothing.

If you also need the CPC analysis, it's a bit more pricey, costing 1 credit for each 10 keywords.

To sum it up, using The Count Collector, you can very quickly get the following:

• search count for each keyword in your list
  
• number of competing pages (together with all possible ratios of demand/supply automatically calculated)
  
• CPC values for each or selected keywords (optionally)

It means that you have all information necessary to make a very educated decision regarding your niche selection (or post idea or title idea, etc.).

Your results will look like this:
