Here at vBSEO, we get traffic from over 16,000 different keyword phrases every month. This is called the search long tail and is the most powerful phenomenon for getting traffic to your forum.

How long is your long tail? That is, how many different unique keywords deliver you traffic each month?

The question was originally posted by our vBSEO member Bernard:

15% of Google search referrals for the month so far come from 3 keyphrases (the main ones I directed my seo efforts to attain). The rest of the referrals are spread out over different random phrases. The ratio of unique search phrases / total searches is roughly 68%.

How large a shadow is your long tail casting?
Here is a quick intro to long tail search and how it relates to your forum:

Here is some info on how to measure your long tail:

I like how you also noted the # of landing pages, showing that you landing pages are on average obtaining traffic about 5 different keyword variations.
