banner-images-guide Banner Images for Websites: Complete Developer Guide archived 2026-01-09 keyword-research 2026-01-09 SERP analysis shows wrong intent - stock photo galleries dominate, not generation tools

Idea — ARCHIVED

Why Archived

SERP analysis (2026-01-09) revealed:

  • TOP 10 dominated by stock photo sites (Unsplash, Adobe, Freepik, Pexels)
  • User intent: find ready-made stock images, NOT generate images
  • Competitors are giants with millions of images
  • No opportunity for Banatie positioning

Original Discovery

Source: Keyword research — ai-web-dev-images-2026-01-09.md Evidence:

  • "banner images" = 27,100 monthly searches
  • KD: 21 (low difficulty)
  • Competition index: 0.20 (low advertiser interest)

Why It Looked Good (But Wasn't)

High volume + low KD seemed perfect. But SERP analysis showed the intent mismatch — people want to FIND images, not GENERATE them.

Lesson Learned

Always validate with SERP analysis before prioritizing. Volume + KD alone are insufficient.
