    Advertising (learn more)

    Advertise virtually anything here, with CPM banner ads, CPM email ads and CPC contextual links. You can target relevant areas of the site and show ads based on geographical location of the user if you wish.

    Starts at just $1 per CPM or $0.10 per CPC.

I am very confused about keyword selection.

    It's all well and good going for low competition keywords, what you are all calling long tail, but you aren't going to make much money if no one is visiting your site. I cut my teeth on low competition keywords but soon realised that if you know what you are doing it isn't that hard to rank for more competitive keywords.
    If you are building an authority site then go for the most searched for keyword phrases. Within your site you'll also have loads of longtail keywords that in total bring in as much traffic as the major keywords.

    It does not matter Lontail or short. You want a keyword that has a lot of searches, High CPC, and little competition.

    Long tail keyword helps a lot in seo because you can use two or more keyword in a one phrase but its should be look relevant.

    The reason you should use long tail keywords more than short tail keywords is that you are more likely to be able to provide the relevant information to what the user is searching for as it is more specific and there is a lot less competition for someone searching for long tail keywords than there is for short tail keywords. Visitors searching using a long tail phrase know exactly what they want and these are the type of visitors that you want to attract as they are more likely to turn into a lead than someone that is window shopping using very general search terms or short tail keywords.

    First do keyword research using google keyword tool then gather the keyword and download SEO quake a free firefox plugin. Type the keywords one after the other in the Google search space and check all the results to know whether if they are having high pagerank, keyword domain name and years of the sites. With this tool you can easily know the keyword to use for your website.
    Thanks

    Long tail or short tail it probably does not matter, the important keywords should be relevant to the business that we promote, and use keywords derived for the back link.

    I use always Google Adword Keyword tool. It is free tool for search good keywords because there you can see many keywords with search volume and competitions. So you choose high search volume and low competitions keywords.

    For quick ranking, the longtail is always easier to do. If you invest time and effort on a highly searched for keyword then the longtail will come with it generally.
    Most authority sites get over 50% of the traffic from the dozens or even hundreds of related logtail phrases.

    Personally I advise you to make a combination of long and short terms , long terms are good coz you can include more than one targetted keyword , and also help in getting traffic that search for a long term , but also short keywords can never be omitted coz many people search for them , so try to make a selection of both

    Everyone will say long tail, but it really depends on what your trying to build your website around.

    Keep in mind, when doing long tail, you have to "double" your load of work due the traffic quality.

    Hii mastermind1212,

    Long tail keywords results in goal conversion. It means long tail keywords target to specific traffic which is more indented to buy your product or use your services. On the other hand short tail keywords targets a bigger global traffic which means the goal conversion is less in comparison to long tail keywords.

    Example: cars (short tail keyword)
    ford sports cars (Long tail keywords)

    The traffic who choose ford sports cars keyword is more intended to buy ford cars. On the other hand the traffic who choose cars keyword is taking just information about cars and is less intended to buy any car.
    Long tail keywords are used for goal conversion of business and short tail keywords are used to increase the traffic. From seo point of view you need both traffic and goal conversion. Therefore we have to choose a mixture of long tail keywords and short tail keywords. :cool:
