    I too doubt that but you have to assume there is a few daily searches. Hula Hooping is huge (40 years ago) :)

    Uncompetitive is the the keyword (no pun intended) target the right ones for the most success.

    Digg rank well, but not that well, certainly not for anything competitive without doing some additional off-page SEO.

    I agree with everybody that says it doesn't work. Nobody should try this...ever. You won't succeed at all and you should never, ever think about writing articles with long-tail keywords.

    If you had something like 20 articles that focused on 20 different long-tail search results and it got you to the top 3 results for those keywords; and, each of those search results resulted in two or three visits a day, you would have 40-60 unique visitors a day from people doing basically, "wallet-out searches".

    Yup...won't work. Don't try it.

    Nice article. This is why I never tell my clients about DP forums. ;)

    I like that suggestion a lot. Thanks for the tip. Digg sounds like it is a great solution for fast traffic. Do you think this would work for a video based website like mine? www.sportsmanstube.com ? There are not stories per se, but the video content should work right? Thanks!

    maybe google recognized that YOU were trying to rank high and thus told every searcher
    to stop searching for that keyword?
    joking apart, I think that is the main problem, never trust the google keyword tool. I did it
    too and it slaped me with super low traffic althouh it showed "average" traffic.

    its best to use google trends tool but for long tails it wont work because those
    keywords are too less searched for. the surefire way to know exactly how often
    a long tail keyword is looked after is to run an adwords campaign for some days,
    just to identify how often a keyword is searched for, although this time you should
    try to prevent clicks. so, try to write ugly ads :)

    Thanks for the laugh. In fact now you mention it this is a stupid idea that wont work. If you are reluctant to target specific, uncompetitive keywords then this is not for you. Everyone stop doing it right now.

    One question though. Will this work for new domains or will their be sandbag issues?

    Good Question. The answer is yes and no.

    The site will need some SEO value in links so that it is crawled and ranked by google. Depending on the amount of competition determines the chances of a new site without much SEO on it.

    However because you target uncompetitive keywords and this technique does not use huge amount of links you will most certainly go under the readar of google and be one of not many sites that provide the content being searched for. Therefore google cant afford to sandbox you.

    Now, you are right that it is estimate as for various project, we can't give exact figure.

    Have you encounter with that type of situation before? Had you got high rankings for more competitive keyword?
