A bunch of "doorway pages" to target extremely low-volume search terms? Not a good way to tackle this at all.

What is your opinion? And another question: do I have to create a page around 1 LTK only or to use a bunch of them on every page? Thank you!</p> Hi,Dan,I spent over 8 months conducting keyword research and making 2 blogs based on long tail keyword strategy.I was taught to prepare about 30 pages for every blog and use 10 LTK with a Daily Volume 2-3 unique visitors on every page expecting total Daily Volume about 25-30 visitors for every page or about 1,000 daily visitors for the entire Blog.The results were discouraging.Most of these LTK disappeared at all in a couple of months and traffic never exceeded 60 daily visitors for the entire Blog.I read some people say that LTK with Daily Volume 10 and less are useless.Some people say we have to use LTK with a Daily Volume 30-35 visitors.
