Search Vol - CPC - Competition - KEI - Sites in SERPs - Traffic cost

[limpopoboy]

 

This is how my head is currently BLANK with all these terms, reading so much with so much contradiction it would seem. Nothing is making sense. Where can I get somebody to explain in plain simple English or to point me to a page that explains it in plain English - the various: Search Vol - CPC - Competition - KEI - Sites in SERPs - Traffic cost etc.....

How do they it all interact/interface? What is the relationship? what do the figures mean? ie... what is .7 competition? .7 of what? for what? what is a good competition figure? Whats a bad figure?  can you get more than 1.0?

In relation to search volume. Generally is 1000 search vol a month good or bad? low or high?  What is the relation of KEI 0-100 to search and competition?  I understand high volume / low competition is good but please put some examples of good and bad in the reply.  I know nothing is fitting nicely in a box but there must be some general rules..

a very frustrated Limpopoboy.
