How to find easy keywords to rank for?

[BrunoReis]

We've got fantastic results from a keyword here. After we signed up for SeoMoz,  we found that, for luck, this was a very easy keyword (1%) to rank for.

How can I find more easy keywords?

Use Google keyword tool to find good keyword phrases. (be sure to check [exact] field on the left of page) This tool will also suggest other keywords for you. The thing is it will show competitiveness for Google Adwords not organic results soo...

Once you have the keywords you want...

Check SEOmoz keyword tool to see how competitive each phrase is. Since you are a pro member you can check 5 at a time.

All depends on your industry. What I would do is look at your main competitors and check out the source code to look at their meta tag keywords and start from their. You do this best using Firefox browser, right clicking, view source code. All the info will be in the head, top of the page. Then I'd run an analysis using the keyword tool here or using the keyword tool google provides. I hope this helps and good luck.

Meta tag keywords are not good for SEO anymore, Bing looks at this as a spam indicator. If the site you are looking at still has these tags on their site they are probably not up to date with the latest practices.... I wonder how good their phrases will be

[bronxpad]

True but since sites still have them it's a good indicator of what people are optimizing for. That's my point.

Well the question was "How can I find more easy keywords? " keywords people place in their meta tags are usually challenging and even if they are not challenging one must do the research to figure out if they are challenging... Another thing I like to do is check for related searches in a google search
