Each keyword shows estimated Amazon searches (Low, Medium or High), estimated competition (Easy, Medium or Hard), estimated competitors and the estimated monthly earnings of the top books. They are estimates, not Amazon figures.

Estimated Amazon searches per month: Low, Medium or High. Hover a value to see the thresholds.

Estimated competition: Easy, Medium or Hard, based on competing books, their reviews and their sales rank. Hover a value to see the thresholds.

Estimated Competitors: how many books you would be up against for that keyword.

Estimated average monthly earnings of the top books: a rough picture of what books on the first page earn.

All of these are estimates built from public Amazon pages. Amazon does not publish sales figures, so treat the numbers as a guide for comparing keywords, not as a promise of sales.
