It is searched about **45.5M** times a month on Google, worldwide (Google Ads, Sept 2026), at about $0.10 a click in search ads: a month of its searches would cost about **$4.6M** as search ads. Each site checked on the [backlink value checker](https://mxverify.uk/backlink-value) adds its top five search keywords, so this list grows as sites are checked. ## Keyword intelligence - **45.5M** Google monthly search volume no change on Sept 2025 - **+7%** Last 3 months vs 3 before steady - **62/100** Demand score moderate - **32/100** Keyword difficulty (US) possible - **Informational** Search intent wants to learn - **$0.10** Google Ads cost per click top-of-page bids $0.07–$0.08 - **4.6M** Third-party estimated keyword demand Sept 2026 - **2** Sites getting visits from it Sept 2026 ### What the data says - Demand is steady: Google searches for “target” held steady at about 45.5M from Oct 2025 to Sept 2026. - Across 3 years, searches peak in December (about 59.3M) and are lowest in February (about 35.5M), a 1.7× swing: time content to be indexed before December. - The 2 listed sites take about 343.7K visits a month from “target”, 7% of its 4.6M searches (traffic estimates).

A top search keyword is one of the searches that bring a site the most visitors, by estimate. It is not a position in Google, and the order here is not a ranking. Visits (est.): the traffic estimate's own figure for the keyword on that site, which behaves like visits a month, not an amount of money (2026-09-29: it had been shown in dollars). Ad value is what advertisers pay for the keyword — its searches × cost per click — not how hard it is to rank for. This page is kept out of search results until 15 sites share the keyword. Searches, cost per click and ad value above: Google Ads, worldwide. Sites and their visits: third-party traffic estimates, Sept 2026. The traffic estimates' own searches figure for the keyword is in the section below; the two sources often differ several times over. --- Source: mxverify, "2 Sites Where target Is a Top Search Keyword", https://mxverify.uk/keywords/target (retrieved 2026-11-05).
