I can get the EMD for a phrase with a CPC of $20.06. Can I rank it?

140 Exact Global Searches
$20.06 CPC average across all bid positions

Top 10 have PR's of: 3, 3, 5, 4, 3, 5, 2, 4, 6, 5
Domain Ages of: 9, 14, 15, 12, 3, 8, -, 14, 8, 14

Got a couple EDUs in there. Backlinks to the Page seem like cake. At least five of these have zero backlinks. There is only one actual SEO'd site that is going for CPA leads and it's number 4, but targeted for a different phrase. I'm hoping with the EMD it would be worth the time, but is 140 searches worth the time? At spot one I'd be looking at 60-70 searches. Divided by 30 it'd be 2 searches a day. Is that something to even mess with?
 


Not worth the effort.

Prob get 3-4 clicks @ a more realistic CPC of maybe 5$.....

Much easier keywords out there for 50 cent/day sites.
 
I generally don't bother with anything below a few thousand searches per month. And you won't get anywhere near $20 CPC, probably closer to $3.
 
I have a few websites with just a couple thousand or a little less and they are worth it, since it is pure passive income.

You have to analyse the competition vs. searches benefits. If there is no harsh competition, then you can go with fewer searches.

However you could forget that one, not worth it.
 
I would drop a PPC ad in the bottom spots across the big 3 just to get a realistic measurement of the amount of traffic in order to make an informed decision.

This is assuming it's not seasonal.
