Competitive Keyword Analyzer (CKA)
Compare Your Keywords
Find out who is ranking well for the keywords in your niche and identify new SEO opportunities.
The Competitive Keyword Analyzer (CKA) compares the top keywords in your niche and provides you with an extensive pre-analysis of which keywords are strongly competitive. A graphical heatmap representation helps you to instantly recognize potential anomalies and thereby finding keywords, with which you can rank more easily. Start a CLA for the keywords that you wish to analyze in more detail. The CKA considers the overall, or the project blacklist, when loading URLs for a keyword, i.e. Wikipedia, for instance, can be excluded.
The factors for a top placed keyword vary depending on the selected search engine and language. Therefore, the relevant data must be queried for each country and each language.

The graphic heat map representation visualizes each selected metric of your keyword and displays the respective top results. Thanks to different color strengths you can find possible irregularities or deficiencies in the rankings. Of course, you can also view the individual values by moving the cursor over the corresponding entry and then view a description for each value.

Using the Context Menu, you can easily and quickly start other tools. For a more detailed search, for example, you simply run your preferred tool for the selected keywords. Run the Competitive Landscape Analyzer (CLA) to obtain a comprehensive analysis for your keywords and be able to assess your market situation better. Click the Common Backlink Tool (CBLT) to obtain a list of links which strengthen your top competitors or use the Link Juice Thief (LJT) to take advantage of the links of your competition.

Select whether you want to see the heat map relative to all keywords or not. If you do not check the box, it will be compared by line/ keyword which page ranks best for the keyword. If you tick the “Heat map relative to all keywords”, then all keywords and pages are compared with each other in order to determine the overall winner.
Specific Functions and Settings
Run your cursor over a particular entry ranking and receive more detailed information about the value, the average and the difference to the other rankings respectively.
In this example, you can see that for the keyword "auto insurance tips" the URL ranking “www.forbes.com/forbes/2010/1206/...” comprises 664 backlinks. The average of the top 10 ranking pages for the keyword “auto insurance tips” is 203 backlinks. A large deviation from the average is an irregularity, which is, in this particular example, marked dark in the heat map.
