    You have a domain, but not necessary mean your domain keywords exactly same with a new topic you want to talk.
    E.g //webhosting.com , talking everything about an hosting.

    What if you have a topic like "what is your webshoting","what is your favorite hosting" and so on..
    In addition, when create a domain extension with targeted keywords you like, you may want to know how to put a long tail keywords in a more suitable way and easy to be read.

    //Webhosting.com/whatisyourfavoritewebhosting .......kinda hard to read.

    It could be better if, you put like this.

    //webhosting.com/what-is-your-favorite-webhosting.

    The latter is easy reading.

    Use keyword tools to search the right keywords related to your content.

    Have a great day

    The conversion rate of the long tail keyword phrase is high than the keywords. Bcoz, now a days user is exactly typing in the search box what exactly he require.

    Long-tail keywords help you feature in many variations of your targeted keywords. Properly planning the use of long-tail and short-tail keywords in your campaign will help you gain better traffic and rankings and sustaining the competition.

    If your target is very short tail keyword in future, for that long tail keywords help you. Like at starting your site is new one then long tail keyword is beneficial then after some period make long tail keyword to short tail keyword. For e.g. long tail keyword seo services mumbai make it short tail keyword as seo services

    Long-tail keywords can slowly trickle in money for you over the long term. I have a blog that gets like 200 page views a month but generates $50+ each month like clockwork because it has a single post ranking extremely high for a particular keyword phase linked to an expensive software product.

    I totally agree with Karpok. Conversion rate of the long tail keyword phrase is high than the small keyword. We can generate more revenue to target such type keywords.

    Long-tail keywords target a more specific audience and are generally easier to rank for than a single keyword or shorter keyword phrase, the result being more traffic targeted towards your specific offer, increasing the likelihood of a sale, an opt-in, or whatever the desired end result is for the site.

    It is easier to rank well for long tail phrases also they are usually more targeted and convert at a higher rate.

    BTW, it's better to rank high for a large number of long-tail keywords than a small number of popular ones.

    Hey saptakmandal,

    Long tail keywords convert at a higher rate than general search queries, because the searcher knows exactly what they want. Writing content or creating pages around these long tail keyword phrases gives you a better opportunity to create a strong message to market match.

    Kindly,

    Shelby : )

    Optimizing your website for conversion isn't expensive. Leaving money on the table is.

    The good thing about long tail keywords as mentioned by a few above is that they convert well due to them being highly targeted.
    The bad thing being that doing Seo for them has become quite difficult after Google's Mayday update that took place a couple of months back.
