ETV (Estimated Traffic Volume) is an estimation of website traffic that can be driven by a certain keyword. It is calculated by the following formula: search volume * traffic distribution rate.

KEI (Keyword Efficiency Index) shows the potential of a keyword to generate traffic. The higher the value, the easier it is to promote a keyword in TOP10 of SERP. The data is calculated by the following formula: KEI = (search volume)² / (total number of results).
Traffic Cost shows how much paid traffic would cost in case you launch a PPC campaign. This data will enable you to estimate how successful your SEO-campaign is, and, if necessary, make a decision on the budget reallocation.
