Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks for the reply! I appreciate it!

Thank you very much for the reply! guess it's going to take more than 1 tool and a decent amount of research to determine if a keyword is worth competing against.

I would think the key is to utilize SEOmoz to create a site that will become it's own DA & PA powerhouse.

I really like the Keyword Difficulty Tool. I'm looking to get into some affiliate marketing and I'm trying to assess a good niche site to create.

I have a couple questions about assessing the results of this tool:

1. When looking to compete for top 10 SERPs are Page Authority & Domain Authority closely related? because a page could have a 1 PA and an 80 DA.

2. What individual PA ranking is considered to be surpass-able? below 40? 30?

3. What difficulty percent would you consider worth competing for? or a waste of time?

I guess I'm looking for some breaking points here.

Thanks!
