    I've been looking at nichebot at a term I use alot on my website and I think it could potentially bring in quite alot of people (or so my stats are currently suggesting) Anyway, the term I'm currently using is livefood (or livefoods obviously)

    http://www.nichebot.com/?term=livefood

    Its quite poorly searched, but its got a healthy ratio. Live food on the other hand is much more searched, but its got a terrible ratio:

    http://www.nichebot.com/?term=live+food

    So, I'm not sure if I should change it. If I'm SEOing enough then it would obviously make sense to change it, but I'm not sure if I'd be able to get the top spots (there are presumably alot of professional livefood selling businesses out there which could have paid for their place)

    I could use both, but from a reader point of view it would just look like sloppy writing.

    Your thoughts on it?

    I would go for livefood. I think you'd get more traffic from a first place ranking for that than you would from a 2nd page ranking for live food.

    Just curious, what is a live food? You mean raw? Is it something to do with cannibalism? :)

    My website is on exotic pets, alot of them require a diet of live food, be it crickets, locusts, waxworms, mealworms, etc etc.

    I agree that you should stick with 'livefood' - I think it's always better to begin SEO efforts with as little competition as possible, and then take on the "big boys" once you've established some traffic and authority. I don't think it's impossible to mix the two iterations, either - it may require some creative thinking, but I've seen a lot of sites use clever ways to SEO for multiple iterations. If nothing else, you could place one version in your meta tags.

    HTH,
