Try it out. You got nothing to lose.

It sounds like a good keyword but keyword stats can usually either overestimate or underestimate and therefore aren't really a good representative of whether it is a profitable keyword. It's an estimate, that's all it is.

I would suggest you stick with the keyword for a month and see how you go. If it ends up being profitable, congrats!

Good luck.

Yep! Going to give it a go, flung a site up just had ten articles written and ten pages of content so going to push it up to page 1 and see what happens. My first real effort

Good luck.

The only way to really know if you've struck gold is to give a go.

It sounds promising man. I wish you luck in your endeavors. I often find a lot of KW's that no one targets through adwords "See search terms all".

Why don't you try it out and then see for youself. You will get nothing if you don't try.

Check it in adwords - how much do you have to bid to be number one, and then check number two and three. If the numbers differ a lot - the value is grossly inflated, if not - you may have a winner.

Update on this: I have sorted all content for the site and pushed 10 BMR posts up and a few AMR blasts, but have not moved from the top spot of page 2 yet. I will do some work over the weekend to push it up to page 1 and report back. I do admit I have not given this site much attention beyond that work. Traffic right now is very low, around 5 uniques a day but as of yesterday I was getting some very targeted search terms hitting the site, we will see if this improves as I climb the first page.

I have NOT put AdSense on the site yet, saving that for now

Update:AdSense added, generated 0.50 with 1 click now position #7 on page 1 - very little traffic (less than 10 uniques a day) - changed geotargeting to global in webmaster tools to see if global traffic helps. I will wait until I am in the top 3 which should be in the next few days.

I have also been working with my creative team at work and made a really sexy template for the site, going to convert it to a flat HTML / CSS template tonight and apply that ASAP - with my very own handmade SEO optimised CMS (so simple! just reads a flat XML file for content) I actually have a killer micro niche engine I can reroll over and over now. I will post how I made this on my blog and put it up for download later.
