    Long tail keywords are long keywords that people will look for. Let's say you optimize for the keyword "SEO tools". The long tail keyword for that would be "best SEO tools to use" or "most accurate SEO tools available". These are examples of long tail keywords. Most people don't usually optimize long tail keywords. If your main keywords are well optimized, then you should show up for long tail keywords as well.

    The advantages of long tail: Low competition, so minimal efort to get a decent place on SERPs. Also big chances of converting traffic into money.

    The disadvantages of long tail: Little traffic.

    In my opinion long tail searches are usefull for online shops. The customers search for a specific type of product, and they might become interested in purchasing it.

    Start with longtail keywords to get the targeted traffic which is the most needed. May be a good idea to have the short tail keywords within it for long term optimisation.

    If we compare both strategies, short key words are mostly used by the people, so we should have to select good short keywords relevant to the post content.

    Long tail KWs are ok but make sure they're getting searched at least 2,000 times per month or your not going to get too much benefit from them unless its a real buyer KW

    Getting ranking from LT keywords is comparatively easy as the competition is comparatively less on these. Another strategy that can be implemented is to use long tails which have two or more keywords inbuilt in them e.g "easy weight loss exercises at home for women" has a number of keywords that will also be help in rankings.

    And it is a fact that searchers who are searching using LT keywords are really potential buyers.

    Long-Tail Keywords are simply natural phrases that people type into search boxes to more accurately find what they want.

    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 keywords are good for the seo in case that they are not too long.

    Since too short key words may not meet the need for finding the accurate information by the customer.

    When if you can pick off mid-tier phrases and rank at the top of the search results then you can build a revenue stream from them. Because long tail keywords have less competition, and are thus far easier to rank for.
