Default spaces can cost money

Bear with me on this.

if you search for "can am" with a space SERP's are 242 million

actual searches for above 5,447


if you search for "canam" without a space SERP's are 550,000

actual searches for above 2,401

so by checking with something like http://www.keyworddiscovery.com

you may find that people do not use the space in popular terms,and if you optimise for the spaceless terms you could gain a huge advantage in traffic ratio terms.

Allied to the lack of competition.

If you don't understand this ask Ray,my brain hurts.

Alvin

That's interesting.

BTW for Ray and Alvin - I notice you both have massive signatures - are these helping your SERPS at all ?

Sig links won't help your SERP's particularly, mine are there for driving relevant traffic to my site

No, they won't do any harm, unless the links are spammy, or on a spammy forum - which is not the case here

On a similar topic, dont forget typos. Get a couple of common mis-spellings of your keywords discreetly on your site for some great traffic!

What you are suggesting surely is very dependant on the niche you are targeting though?

CarInsurance and Car Insurance are going to be HUGELY different, much more so than your keywords
