: Is it ok to optimise my site for “freevideos” instead of “free videos”? I am optimizing my website for SEO and after doing some research on google keyword tool I found out that there

I am optimizing my website for SEO and after doing some research on google keyword tool I found out that there are a lot of searches for glued keywords with very thew competition in the search results.

As an example:"free videos" has around 45,500,000 monthly searches with 92.600.000 result pages with exact match

But...

the keyword: "freevideos" has about 1,500,000 monthly searches with 128.000 result pages with exact match

As you can see the ratio searches/page results is very very high in the second example then in the first.

So the question is: aren't there any draw backs by optimizing for such a keyword? There are tons of such keywords with millions of searches with little to no competition. I already got a few visitis being on positions 70-100 so that makes me think that the numbers are right.

I don't think you're really getting the full picture with those figures.

Sites optimized for "free videos" will turn up for users searching for freevideos. Sites optimized for "freevideos" are much less likely to turn up in the results for free videos.
You can easily use natural synonyms for "free videos" (e.g. free movies, cost-free videos, public videos, free clips, etc.), but Google probably won't recognize any synonyms for "freevideos", making it much harder to optimize for the term without being spammy.
The top sites that perfectly match "freevideos" only match the term in their URL. And these sites only rank well for the SERPs where users search for "freevideos" (in quotes). I very much doubt those 1.5M monthly searches are for "freevideos" in quotes.

So the conclusion you drew might make sense from an AdWords/SEM POV, but probably not from an organic search perspective.
