Good share, thanks for the tips. How long are we talking exactly....5 words maximum? (IE Cheap financial services in London.) I think a longer phrase than that might be less useful
whatever you share stuffs here they are really good for phrase search. but make sure long tail keywords are difficult to crawl for crawlers and it takes time also. during submissions it gives some problems with the length, so try to avoid it.
Nice tips. But i want to say the long keywords tail choosing is considered as spam about the new update of google. Please read the new google penguin rules for SEO.
Hi guys it is very early to say that long tail keywords drives lots of traffic to the website. According to me it depends on keyword searches. For example: Suppose that you have two keyword one is debt consolidation loans which is long tails keyword and second is debt consolidation which is shorter then the first one. But debt consolidation loans have 10000 local traffic per month and debt consolidation have 5000 local traffic then debt consolidation loans drives more traffic for your website not debt consolidation. So, I can say traffic depends on keyword searches.
