I am using Market Samurai to analyze keywords for a website in another country. I'm a little confused on which metric to look at when check out competition.

For example, "keyword x" :

SEOT : 11,364
SEOC : 1,630,000
SEOLC : 858

Would this be a good keyword to target considering the local competition is so low?

Do you know what those metrics are even representing?
 
Well to my understanding, SEOT is the estimated amount of visitors the #1 site would get on a daily basis.

SEOTC is the amount of websites globally that have the keyword in the title and SEOLTC is the amount of websites in the projects country that have the keyword in the title. I'm basically trying to figure out if I have a winner keyword for the country I'm competing in.
 
Sorry to break it to you, but no tool is going to tell you if the keyword is a "winner".

The only way to find out is to do it. So what are you waiting for?
 
I know no tool can determine what a guaranteed winner is and if you read my actual post I was just asking other MS users if the indicators were favorable for that keyword. This is my first out-of-country project so I wasn't sure how to use the additional info.
 
I suggest you read some comments on the portion of their site that shows the tutorials for determining good keywords, and the videos. Not trying to give the obvious asshole(:nopenope:) answer, but it goes into the options deeply.

I would answer, but I have never done anything internationally in regards to SEO. Besides geo offers :food-smiley-010:
 
That is a very good keyword. All you need
to determine weather you want to compete
for that keyword is in market samurai, click
on the keyword and when it opens in the
new window select 'SEO Competition' and
than analyze the top ten results on Google
to see if you want to compete with them.

After looking at that you will be able to
decide weather you want to go for that
keyword or not.
