I am new to SEO, I am currently in the phase of finding keywords.
So I am using google keyword tool,
I am not quite sure what the Competition column indicates precisely .
If it says Low, high or medium what should I infer from it from SEO perspective?
Thanks,
Ahmed
Competition column in Google keyword tool shows that number of advertisers bidding on that particular keywords. More competition means more advertisers targeting those keywords through Google adwords.

First choose keywords which u want to give services to visitor ... example.. Your website is php services than first choose php keyword.. don't mind if u choose that but just u see which keywords u take... how much compitition of that keywords? and if u have some problem to find keyword than suggestion from keyword tool.. there r lots of result which u help..
Which keyword choose from suggestion?
Two types of keyword result first is local and second is global.. and three types of keyword competition low, medium and high. Don't choose looking low, medium and high.. just look to global and local competition..
How much time for keyword result?
depends on keyword competition, your keyword competition high means lots of competitor than your keyword take a more time.
Relevant keyword
I suggest u first that choose relevant keywords which keyword on title, description, content, hyperlink, image.. etc.

Our company has created a "comparison" tool that uses unique urls to choose who you want to compare, example:
http://www.sportingcharts.com/nhl/2010-edmonton-oilers/vs/2008-calgary-flames/
http://www.sportingcharts.com/nhl/1993-carolina-hurricanes/vs/2008-dallas-stars/
Does anyone know if this is a recommended SEO strategy or is it better to use query string parameters instead of completely different urls. One advantage I was thinking of is this could grab long tail traffic searches such as "2010 Edmonton Oilers Vs 1995 Calgary Flames" but having this many URLS might also hurt the general SEO of these pages.
Does anyone have any experience in creating pages like this? What is the recommended strategy?
The style of URL is not going to matter much to search engines.
From a search engine perspective they are going to care more that:
You have 30 teams and 24 seasons. You are creating 30*24*30*24 = over 500,000 pages.
Each page has very little content. Its just two team names and some numerical stats.
The content that you do have is heavily duplicated across pages.
The search volume for your targeted keywords is going to be very low. Very few people search for two team names with two different years.
If I ran a search engine, I would not want to have my crawlers waste time crawling that site. I wouldn't want the pages in the index.
I expect that your site will suffer from "thin content", "duplicate content", and "excessive pages" issues because of this section.

I have developed a website for a firm that deals in pumps, valves and diesel engines. They require that when an interested user searches with some keywords like "Pump Dealers" or "Valve Dealers", their site should appear in the results. Currently I am not aware of how I can go about this, so my question is what should I do in order for better page ranking. I am using meaningful page titles and have enough text in every page.
Any suggestion is welcome.
Firstly Pagerank is irrelevant these days, so don't worry about that.
You should ensure that you use Google's Webmaster Tools to check that Google knows about your site etc. This will tell you what things it is coming up for on Google.
Make sure that the page has the text on it you want to rank for - as you mention, titles, headers etc will help but don't over do it.
The main thing to do is to get links to your site – write interesting blog posts, contact customers etc so they link to you.
It really depends on who your competition is for those terms - if there are already 10 huge companies ranking for those terms then you are stuck.
The other way to do this is to buy Adwords – this will likely cost upwards of $5-10 a day to get any meaningful traffic though.

When we find in search engines, the text we typed is seen in result list with some links as it is. But the matter is, when we go to those sites, the same text is also there, but saying 'not found'.(For example, lets say, we type 'best software to doSomeThing' in google, the search results shows results including what we typed. When we go to some links listed in search results, those sites also have the same text 'best software to doSomeThing-Not found or saying what ever..' the amazing thing is, some sites is not relevant to what we find. that means if we find a software, some sites on tourism,drugs also says about our software)
I want to know how those sites catch what the search engines finds or what we type in search engines?
Is it something done with Javascript or any other methodology?
You can check the HTTP_REFERER and parse the query string looking for q=
these can be done using several ways
you can use query string parameter which is appended with url of a page u you want to visit
or you can use hidden fields in webpage,like view state,control state
hope this helps...
Edit:
here is the link,that shows basic functionality of query string..

A solution to get quick exposure:
Since my website just got lunched 3 days, i still have time to change my domain name. I decided to do is:
Pick a domain name with keyword tacked before domain name as of: {Keyword}Brand.com (looks ugly)
Keep it for at least 1 year till my site get fair exposure, just to reach to my competitors.
Move back to Brand.com (Probably). I know i will loose ranks, but it won't be hard to bring it back because the website is already being exposed and used by many.
Question:
Do you believe this is a good temporary solution?
Hence, The keyword is non-English word.
So get everyone to learn your name and then change it and get everyone to learn your new name? Does that sound like a good idea? Why not build a strong foundation and then keep building upon it? Races are marathons, not sprints. Think long term, not short term. If you're actually good at what you do you will eventually outrank your competitors for all of your keywords even without your keywords being in your domain name. If you're not good at what you, then hacks and tricks like this won't help you anyway.

what is the relation between popularity and competition in SEO field?
i don't mean the formula.i mean the conceptional relation.
i mean can we say more competition cause more popularity or viseversa,more popularity cause more competition?
more competition about a topic means it is general that many sites talk about it and so maybe more people use the web for finding information about that topic and this cause more popularity.
on the other side,if more people search a special term on the web means there is some need for that topic and this cause site owner to talk about that topic to attract more visitors to their site and it cause growing competition.
what is your idea? am i think wrong?
It would be very hard to find any meaningful data on this, but this is how I see it and this is how I suggest these things to any client I visit.
If a subject is popular there will be more competition as it will be linked to frequently, and these pages would obtain link value for these terms within anchor text. Also, if a subject is popular it can be assumed that more people will want to search for it.
Obviously, if there is more competition then it's harder to become the best resource on Google. As it's typical for people to link to the best possible pages the best way to become popular in a field with lots of competition is to make your website the best possible resource for users; over a set period users will visit your website and those that like what they see will link to it.
As a result, the way to become popular in a field with lots of competition is to create the best possible web pages for that given subject. Naturally, there may be lots of competition in areas that aren't popular, but the data is already out there through Google and Yahoo tools to gauge what is popular and what isn't. It's just a matter of building your resources and being patient enough to become popular.
