What are Long Tail Keywords?

They are keyword phrases which are very, very specific to whatever you are selling. Whenever a customer uses a highly specific search phrase, they tend to be looking for exactly what they are actually going to buy.
 
  1. Type a keyword into a search engine
  2. Observe the drop down menu of the suggested phrases >>> the *auto-suggestion* lists
  3. Those are the most often search terms used with that keyword.
That is an example of what long tail search phrases mean (in actual use).

A long-tail keyword is a keyword phrase that contains at least three words (though some say two or more is considered long-tail). Long-tail keywords are used to target niche demographics rather than mass audiences. In other words, they're more specific and often less competitive than generic keyword terms.

Also, long tail keywords are easy to rank compare to single word keyword.
 
  • If you target longer, more specific long-tail keywords in your content/copy your web referrals will get better.

  • Long tail keywords are those three and four keyword phrases which are very, very specific to whatever you are selling.

hi
some great repllies above but to add to this further the idea of long tail keywords is that the intent is further down the chain thus you have a better chance of getting a conversion than a 1 or 2 word keyword phrase. IE if you are searching for life insurance then there is more intent to convert if the searcher has searched for

i want to buy life insurance ( long tail )
than
life insurance

All the best
