See in one click how hard it'll be to rank for a keyword and save your time with the new keyword difficulty tool!

Every keyword you optimize your site for takes certain time — to do the on-page, to create content, to review anchor texts, etc. What if some of your target keywords are a complete waste of time and money?

To help you save the nerves and maximize your results in SEO, we've built the keyword difficulty tool that helps choose only the right keywords.

How exactly does it help you?

• You can save a lot of time and money by choosing the keywords that are not too hard to rank for.
• Use the keyword difficulty score in combination with other SEO metrics (search volume, search ranking) to better calculate your success chances.
• Prioritize keywords based on their difficulty — start working on those ones that will quickly bring you more earnings at a lower cost.
• Check the unlimited number of keywords for their difficulty score — no matter how large your keyword list, Rank Tracker will analyze each and every key phrase.
• Spot what helps your competitors rank higher and adjust your SEO strategy.
• Do niche research for any keyword in a matter of minutes.

What's inside?

The new keyword difficulty tool will check the top organic results for every keyword in your project. By looking at multiple metrics, the tool will show how tough every keyword is to rank for.

Here are some of the factors SEO PowerSuite will use to calculate the difficulty score (by analyzing the top 10 results in Google):

• Page PageRank
• Domain PageRank
• The number of page's backlinks
• The number of domain's backlinks
• On-page optimization rate
• Alexa Rank
• Social signals (Google+, Twitter and Facebook likes for the page)
• Page age (in months)

Under this tab you'll spot the overall keyword difficulty score based on all 10 competitors. The higher the score, the harder it'll be to unseat your competitors.
