<b>Stopped chasing trophy keywords. Started printing money.</b>

"Best running shoes" — 50 fighters, you'll never rank, and half the traffic is window-shoppers anyway.

I hunt the ugly low-volume buyer terms instead:
— "[product] discount code"
— "[product] vs [product] for [specific use]"
— "is [product] worth it"
— "[product] alternative cheaper"

200 searches/mo at 8% conversion beats 50,000 searches you can't touch.

The "vs" and "worth it" terms are people with a wallet open, two minutes from buying.
