Building content around keywords is a big no
Google Trends is a tool to help you find out the trending topics, and to get ahead of your competitors, find out what they are writing about using the CognitiveSEO Social Visibility Tool. These are better options than fending for those keywords with no aim to serve the user.

Closely observing the content marketing trends will guide you while formulating optimal SEO strategies. It is fundamental to understand the current trends in the market, and to know how to use those trends to your benefit, to get better results with very little effort.
