    Hello there,

    Such a nice question I have ever found. I think short tail keywords are best than the long tail keywords. Short tail keywords increase the amount of website traffice. I think, you should prefer short tail keywords and it will also help you in future.

    Thanks!!

    Short keywords works best instead long because you never know the big phrases of others they use for search. Do short ones, even single word based.

    Long tail keywords are less competitive and sales conversion rate is high. Short tail keywords are difficult to rank and have less conversion rates. But short tail keywords have high traffic volume.
    So both should be targeted. Generally I start with long tail keywords and then forward to short term keywords.

    Short tail are best but are difficult to get traffic you will get result but a bit late, so choose long keywords as they have less competition

    Long tail keywords are easy to rank in search engine and this type of keyword have low competition and zero traffic. But short tail keyword have large competition and alot of traffic. So according to my experience you should try short tail keyword for site. Thanks

    Target the main keywords you want to rank for. If you have a strong site it will rank for long tail keywords naturally.

    If your site is new & you want to instant business inquiry then i will suggest you for using long trail keywords because these keywords less competitive. Short trail keywords are also Good for future but these keywords required more time for ranking in SE because short trail keywords have more competition. so both types of keywords best and its depends on requirement.

    In guest blog post, I would suggest to target long tail keywords, for the reason after Google Panda update you might saw that several sites lost their rankings for long tail keywords. Google Panda update is extended to the long tail keywords also.

    I'm using long keyword, because when people founds what they really wanted, they can buy it easily. And when people looking for something in short tail keyword there is lower percent of buying.

    long tail keyword index quickly because low competitive but short tail keyword takes long time because it is more competitive better use three word phrase for keywords.

    1.)keyword1+keyword2+ service
    2.)keyword1+keyword2+ place
    3.)keyword1+keyword2+ product
