    Hey guys,

    Having a bit of a strange problem. Maybe this has happened to somebody else also..

    Using Adwords Keyword tool and also market samurai...

    Found a great keyword for one of my sites with a large amount of phrase and exact searches per month according to Adwords and Market Samurai.

    I am now fourth on Google for the searchterm but am getting NO traffic.

    Google trends also says there isnt enough traffic to show trends.....

    Im stumped as have never come across this before....

    Hope somebody has some insights...

    Cheers,

    Stuart

    Those statistics might not be very accurate all the time specially for long term phrases and seasonal keywords...

    Just keep on testing other keywords and phrases and sure you will find the ones that should be targeted ;)

    Competitors can give you ideas, but don't copy their work. They have what's working for them, you need to devise a strategy that works for your site.
