It shows the average number of searches for a keyword and its close variants based on the month range as well as the location and Search Network settings you selected. You can use this information to see how popular your keywords are during different times of the year.
  
• Competition tells you how competitive ad placement is for a keyword, specific to the location and Search Network targeting options that you've selected. The level of competition i.,e Low, Medium, or High is determined by the number of advertisers bidding on each keyword relative to all keywords across Google.
• Top of page bid(low range) tells you the lower range of what advertisers have historically paid for a keyword’s top of page bid, based on your location and Search Network settings. The average CPC of your keywords may vary.
• Top of page bid(high range) tells you the higher range of what advertisers have historically paid for a keyword’s top of page bid, based on your location and Search Network settings. The average CPC of your keywords may vary.
• Remember that every keyword has different Bid Rate per click and it also varies from country to country. You can see that for keyword "blogging" the bid rate is very low. Lower range is $ 0.030 and higher range is $0.22. This is why some blogs & YouTube channels earn lot of money from Google AdSense and some earn very little money.

• You can see that lower range for keyword "insurance" is $16.09 per click and the higher range is $61.52 per click. You can also see that for keyword "car insurance" the higher range is $153.89. It is super amazing. 
  
• You must have noticed that the keywords that have higher bid rates there is HIGH competition and where the bid rates are low there is LOW competition. So it means that people do lot of research before they choose keywords for their articles and ultimately write content for keywords with high bid rates.
