A lens just won't beat those. I find that putting your keyword in google (without quotes) and then taking an average of the PR of the sites on the front page is becoming a much more accurate way of looking at competition. I look for the average number of the Page rank to be less than 3.0 You need an addon for firefox called SEOquake to get the PR to show up on the page. http://www.seoquake.com/ Just make sure you only have seo quake turned on when you are using it for searching. It agitates google a little bit if you run it all the time. (they think you're a robot) Jackie Barbara,

I thought you looked at the competition and looked for something under 30,000. Is that what 3.0 represents? Just want to be clear on that.
