Thought this was cool

    I was inadvertently targeting the keyphrase humorous stuff, and after about three weeks, I got over the domain humorousstuff.com. I thought it was cool, and I wasn't even trying that hard with that keyword. Now it's not even the first page though, I'm #2, behind eBaumsWorld.

    I used to be targeting four "humorous" phrases: Humorous, Humorous Stuff, Very Humorous, and Humorous Pictures. Humorous and Humorous Pictures get around 200 and 97 searches a day, respectively, and the others are REALLY low, lower than I expected. I'm dropping them all and targeting one keyphrase: Funny Stories. It's going to be hard, but right now I'm #11, and it already is making a difference. :)

    That's great and I don't mean to burst your bubble here, but of the three keyword search tools I use, a search for "Humorous" does not bring up and searches per day/month for "Humorous Stuff".

    It would be a little more difficult and more of and achievement for you to rank for "humorous quotes".

    but congratulations anyway.

    I'm dropping humorous stuff, it gets a very, very low amount of searches.

    Good to hear that!


    Probably because people would rather search funny than humorous, not everyone can spell it :rolleyes: heh.

    that's definetly the reason, you should target the word "funny"
