How long would it take you to rank in the top three on Goog for a keyword w/ 20-25k searches per mo?

Given the fact you're starting with a new domain. I'm interesting in how long the process has taken you in the past. Even if it varies, if you could just share your story I'd very much appreciate it as I'm a newbie. Thanks.

* Well not the exact searches per month but it took me 1 month to rank for Myspace Layouts back when it was popular and getting 500k+ searches per month. Then more people jumped in and I sold it and the ranking fell.

Guess what I am trying to say is it doesnt matter the searches per month, but rather the competition for the keyword.

*Results not typical

impossible to know because it doesn't matter how many searches a term gets or how many results from a search. The only thing that matters is how strong are the pages on the front page.
