Which of these brings more traffic to your blog?

[Michael]

Hey guys,

To all of you who have created a blog and got some good traffic with google SEO, I have a question.

Let's say, you have a choice between making blog posts about very common google searches and making posts about lesser-searched topics with equally less competition, which one should I go for if my blog is new?

Example: Writing about "weight loss" - a lot of competition (let's say 10 000 000 other websites) but a lot of searches (let's say 100 000) or making a post about "how to reduce weight when you are pregnant with twins" (let's say 1000 other websites but only 10 searches per month).

I hope I made clear that the ratio between searches and google competition is equal each time. So what's best to go for when creating a new blog? Going for lots of traffic in a shark tank or being a big fish in a small pond? I appreciate if anyone has tried both and can let me know how their post views developed, which ones got more traffic.
