As I wrote in my pervious articles, one of the greatest sources of a higher traffic is the optimization of the proper keywords and in order to do this we must be able to search out high trend, low density keywords or what I call personally as HITLOD.

To discover HITLOD keywords, there is no need to search for them as they will just come to you suddenly like a brilliant idea. Just like how great artists and inventors get inspired oftentimes.

As I go about my day to day experiences, I have discovered a lot of great keywords . For instance, after I watched the movie 21 I searched the internet for the movie’s real story. (I normally do this because Hollywood is often fond of taking liberties in expanding the real story to fit the script)

21 the movie is based on the book by Ben Mezrich.”Bringing Down the House: The Inside Story of Six MIT Students Who Took Vegas for Millions.” For the most part, the book is fictional however the life of the main character in the book is loosely based on the life of Jeffrey Ma one of the member of the MIT Blackjack Team who was a brilliant MIT student.

The MIT blackjack team was group of students and ex-students from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University, and colleges who used counting cards techniques to win in the game of blackjack.

The operation of the MIT blackjack team was run like a real business. It was very organized and very impressive. It is said that they earned an estimated $3 million to $5 million U.S dollars by paying black jack in casinos worldwide and beating the game by simply counting cards.

According to the group, “Blackjack is a beatable game.” To beat the game you only need to do simple math and master counting cards methods.

I listened to the interviews of Jeffrey Ma and read several articles on the MIT black jack team. I came to realize that people would start searching for information on them after watching the movie. So I tried to do some reasearch on what terms people will use to search for counting cards in the internet. I tried “black jack”, “counting cards in blackjack”, “counting cards”, “how to count cards” or other similar keywords. The best keyword I could find was “counting cards.” I have to admit, I myself got hook to the “counting cards” fever.

“Counting cards” has only been referred to in 443,000 site as of today. There is spike in the Google trends graph. This could have been caused by the release of the movie in theatres sometime late March 2008.

If you notice, the search for “counting cards” only began in 2008. It can be concluded that interest in the keyword “counting cards” was due to the release of the movie 21.

“Counting cards” may be a good HITLOD keyword. However it’s being high trend could only be temporary. After sometime, it is my belief that people will stop searching for the “counting cards” keyword after the movie has reached it’s maximum peak popularity.

They popularity of the “Counting cards” keyword may be short lived but as of now it is still a HITLOD keyword. So sieze the moment ! As long as the movie is still popular, people will continue to search for the “counting cards” keyword. It is sure to bring thousands of visitors to your site if you have properly optimized it.
