		<description>Your numbers are off; look at trafficking reports based on tail vs generics. The volumes simply aren't there.

Attacking tail terms is a sensible option for a smaller brand, but specific products in a database? This isn't realistically feasible due to the reality of link volume being the foundation of rank; do you think you can naturally or otherwise generate ranking that will outstrip say.. a PR7 trusted site?

One example - 'size 10 nike air force 1', do you think database keyword density and site linking structure can overcome the force of amazon in this instance? The answer is no realistically.

This situation is most clear in the insurance sector, see: insiders-view.co.uk, where tail terms are evenly squabbled over by the smaller (non-latitude/tamar link buying strategy) insurance niche firms. For example- 'insurance banned' etc, which is a sector ignored by the 'bigger boys'.</description>
