The beauty about long tail keywords is that you generally get a lower CPC. I find that if you’re trying to get more out of an existing budget all it takes is expanding the keyword list to include long tail keywords.

Another implication of Long tail is content development needs to be given a new approach. But the moot question is that if the long tails convert or not, whether the long tail queries are just information seeking ones or are they being used to really take any “desired action.” Ultimately, it’s the conversions that matter, aren’t they?

Revealing post! The use of longer search queries clearly reflects the shift in the searcher behaviour. He now demands exact information in the least possible time. And as the post says, as queries get longer SEO strategies also are in for a makeover.

The long tail SEO theory was proved long back.
Ofcourse, the new breed of searchers will go to any extent to get the exact information.

The general trend among web users is to use more specific search terms so as to receive the most appropriate and relevant search result. This is also backed by several current findings. Your support for use of long tail keywords by web masters to optimize sites is rather timely.

As “Swine Flu”is the most searched topic on net these days this example suits explaining the importance of long tail keyword strategy which I have personally experienced to be the best option in returning more detailed and specific search results; all the more this plays a vital role in determining our conversions.

Swine flu has made a serious dent on the already sinking economy, thousands of people are suffering from this killer disease. But don’t you know there is a benefited segment -they’re ‘black hatters’, when we search for information related to swine flu, we’re leading directly to their sites with a long list of information sites. Beware, majority of them are porn sites. Now I understood very much the adage ‘fishing in troubled waters!’

Yea, as per recent stats most of the searchers are using longer long-tails. Searchers want to get leaded directly to the right site without spending much time, so long tails will be further elongated in the coming days and sure SEO field is going to be more challenging…
