caveman - "On a given day, there exists - at the end of the 24th hour - a finite number of searches that took place related to my sites. Either I got a bunch of 'em or I did not. There are a lot of complex aspects to SEO/SEM, but that ain't one. (There is the notion that one can capture a ton of correlary searches to one's advantage, but I assume most of the players in here are smart enough to have that covered.)"

Yep but that changes each day. And that number is not finite for everyday there after. It can go up or down. That number is not set until after the day is COMPLETE. There can be influences during the day that can and will affect that. If it were fininte you should know the amount of search exactly before hand. You choose it to be finite by giving it a finite context such as a 24 hour period. Tell me when and how many search until that keyword is no longer searched for. Hence a Zero sum Fallacy!

I do agree however. It was a beautiful day out today.

Rather than scrapping for a so called "limited supply" of business, step outside the box and CREATE the business.
