See, I actually disagree with this... (I have however enjoyed a couple of your other posts, so you are doing good work!) But in this case...
High search volume is actually a good thing - even with HIGH competition - providing there are lots of sales (which, most likely there are if the search volume is that high)...
As for low volume, low search - again, depends. Without corresponding sales data, hard to say whether or not it would be a good idea.

I hate to be negative about someone's new project, but given the fact that this industry is paying less and less to the contributors I think that not many would spend $9 on a monthly subscription to boost their microstock business. Don't get me wrong the idea is good and I think you have the skills to be great at this. You should have done this years ago when the industry was blooming, because I think the only problem about this endeavour is the timing. Nevertheless I hope you'll succeed with this and it will help every subscriber upload more marketable content and eventually make more money.

I like your ideas and methods, I can't afford to pay more a month than some agencies pay back. ;) Especially since I'm cutting more and more of them for minimal payback for any work.
Do I understand? Green stars are the good ones? That would be these?

Your idea is Google Volume vs Existing results and then looking at SS traffic?

Actually I agree with you but I also agree with his research. Not sure I'd agree with the Stock Photo Ideas conclusions, which is where I'd agree with you.
Sometimes something that isn't a well represented group of images, can be better than one where there are many searches and more interest. But if the competition isn't what buyers want, then a larger subject, isn't necessarily bad.
Let me just say, sales numbers would be the real answer, not searches. Look at the most searched words on the Internet, number one for years is FREE.
Example, and relate to stock photos? Stock is #10
1 Photography Editing 9,140,000
2 Sexual Photography 1,500,000
3 Photography 1,000,000
4 Sexy Photography 673,000
5 Porn Photography 450,000
6 Photography Shops 301,000
7 Mirror Photography 301,000
8 Babies Photography 246,000
9 Nudist Photography 246,000
10 Stock Photography 201,000
or "ART"
1 Pets Art 3,350,000
2 Electronic Arts 1,220,000
3 Nail Arts 823,000
4 Pixel Art 450,000
5 Clip Art 368,000
6 Creative Arts Agency 301,000
7 Wall Art 201,000
8 Martial Arts 165,000
9 Arts and Craft 165,000
10 Paper Art 110,000
What does this actually say about what stock sells? Pets or Wall Art?
Knowing what sells is real and valuable, knowing what is searched is relative, but can't predict sales. Look at Alamy sales? You can see what has sold, but you still can't see what WILL sell in the future.

I fully agree that it depends. In general, I think, it's not a good idea, but I'm sure there are notable exceptions! Honestly would love to see those.
