Long tail words are becoming more popular, because internet users now understand that by typing a broad word they will recieve many unneeded information, and this is for SEOs to start to target longtail keywords cause they are increasing in traffic and they are the ones with most converstions

I have seen evidence that longer 4+ keywords get the clicks and conversions. It is possible to optimize for these keywords and even 8+ keyword with having really good content and using LSI.

Long-tail keywords are without a doubt the most profitable. The trick is trying to find them and use them in a non-intrusive way (stuffing keywords is a no-no) Google seems to be puting more and more emphasis on Latent Semantic Indexing these days.

This makes perfect sense since more and more information is geting added. If you use one word searches the results are just too broad to be effect.

The more specific you are with the search, the better the results seem to be. Usually….. :-)

I think you optimize your presence for long keywords by having good content and making sure that good content is visible to Google. Avoid the temptation to stuff keywords into your content. If you have good content that is relevant, Google rewards you. Trent

When I study my client’s analytics, I see higher conversion rates on the longer more specific searches (brand name searches usually convert best). There is a growing belief that the long-tail of search is where the action is. Trent

Hmm…, Trent. Based on the research, it seems that the longer the keywords, then the higher the click rate is! It’s a very strange situation, but everything is possible under the sun, isn’t it?

I find that very surprising.
And am really hoping that the trend doesn’t become the norm.
I mean how do you optimise for 8 word search terms.
Google certainly will have it’s work cut out to decipher relevance for these searches.
