Do you think it's worth ranking for keywords that have an average of zero monthly searches in Google Keyword planner?
I'm referring to keyword speculations, figuring out in advance which keyword may become popular or may start to have monthly searches?
It may be hard to rank for already popular keywords but for keywords with zero competition its a piece of cake!
Anyone here doing such keyword speculation? I did it a couple of times in the fashion industry for certain products that I knew for sure color based searches would take off.
For example: the term "socks" just become popular, it's only natural people will also search for "red socks", "black socks and so on.
Any other methods of looking into the future?

It's actually a smart thing to do for yourself and clients if you have them. I've had some ecommerce clients that sell clothing ask me "Why are you trying to rank for Example Keyword if no one is searching for it. I won't make any money". And I always follow up with "What if Kim Kardasian wore Example Keyword and started a trend? Your website will be at #1 of Example Keyword and you will make so much money that you will be able to retire". After I tell them this, they quickly come up with a list of odd keywords that I can target lol
I'll do the same thing in adwords and bing/yahoo advertising. Even if the keyword shows "Low to no search traffic" I'll keep it on my campaign because you never know when a keyword will blow up. I've had a keyword show that there is an extremely low search volume and I won't get clicks for a few months. The good thing is that I'm not paying anything for the keyword to just sit in my account. The great thing is that since my keyword is there and I've been willing to pay for it, I usually get the first placement for a few days and for a fraction of the cost after the keyword blows up and becomes viral lol An example of this was when I was paying for "backlinks 2.0" and "web 2.0 backlinks" started becoming a huge thing. I had a surge in sales with an insane ROI since I already had it in my campaign with a high relevancy rating I do this a lot with SEO related terms. I will try to rank for long tailed keywords that no one is trying to target just so if they do become a key focus in the ranking factors, I will already be there reaping the rewards :D It's actually a smart thing to do for yourself and clients if you have them.
