    A keyword/phrase of more than three words is called long tail keyword in SEO.You can optimize these keywords easily and they give less tarffic but targeted.

    Long tail keywords are usually used to target low competition in search engine rankings. Google Adword Keyword Tool will help you in finding your targeted keyword phrases by determining its local and International visits as well as its competition.

    Long tailed keywords are those keyword phrases that have 2-3 (sometimes 4 words) as a keyword. The long tailed keywords have less competition therefore it is very easy to rank for them and for phrases that match the exact theme of your website.

    As a lot of people already said, long tail keywords are exactly what their name suggests: they're longer keywords than the usual generic ones like "fitness" or "health". They're the ones that people who want an answer to a question or a solution to a problem usually search on Google, which actually makes them very marketable. Just provide the solution you think fits these keywords and just like that, you'll have a cow to milk profits from.

    Examples:
    "How to make money online quickly"
    "Build bigger biceps" or "build bigger biceps in 30 days"

    I think a lot of people here have already explained what a long tail keyword is but in relation to the second part of the question relating to seo. My take is that generally these are low competition keywords and so they are easier to rank highly in google for, long tail keywords are also highly targeted this is good if you are selling a highly targeted niche product. The only downside is that you will not get quite as much traffic with long tail keywords.

    Long tail keywords – multiple keyword strings of at least four or five words with an extremely tight focus on your specific product.

    Example: “high quality golf clubs, equipment, shoes and accessories”

    The long tail keywords not only include the long tail, but also can be broken down into several other quality search terms.

    Example: the long tail keyword example also has “high quality golf clubs”, “golf clubs”, “high quality golf equipment”, “golf equipment”, etc.

    I guess everybody has explained very appropriately what a long tail keyword is. My personal experience tells that long tail keywords are mostly intended to very targeted and interested traffic. Which ultimately is the need of every marketer.

    Long tail keywords are a type of keyword phrase that has at least three, and some times as many as five words in the phrase. Long tail keywords are used when the website wants to refine search terms to the web page, as well as when the searcher is looking for something rather specific.

    Long tail keyword is a keyword phrase of more than 2 to 3 words. EX - "wedding thank you card wording". You will get less and targeted traffic and easy to optimize.

    In my experience the basic seo client has a need to rank for keyword + city and/or state/ and or general vicinity.

    Example: Dentist in Palo Alto CA

    This would be considered a "long tailed keyword"
