Have you heard that Google recently altered its algorithm to change the way sites are ranked for long-tail keywords?

May I add:

You should target keywords which have more than 2000 ‘broad’ searches per month AND which have less than 50,000-60,000 ‘phrase’ match results. (use the keyword you get from Google keyword tool and search for the keyword with quotation marks and look at the number of results).

Any keyword with searches below 2000 will not be profitable enough. And any keyword which has results in Google above 60000-70000 will be too tough.

MOST of the short tail keywords are gone now. They do not meet the above criteria. They went like 10 years ago. So you will have to concentrate on long tail keywords.

After some time they realise that the internet is a big thing and they start to search: “games”, “fitness”, “food”. After some time they realize that they can find almost everything, and they will search for “free games”, “poker games”, “health food”, “fitness exercices”.

Then they will start getting advanced as internet users and they finally go for longtail search.

How this affect us ? The number of internet users is growing, but they are entering to the begginer level, where they know that the yahoo or aol is the internet. But those who previously thought that are now moving to search the internet.

The longtail search users is some kind of ending levels on internet usage. People who previously used short term queries now are using longtial, and advanced internet users number is growing a lot. While for other categories the number remains the same because some are joining and others are going to the next level, for longtail the number will always grow.

Yeah I’ve found myself in the same boat trying to explain it to others. It’s one of those simple concepts that’s very difficult to explain clearly and concisely, without confusing the person. It took me about 10 minutes to write this definition:

“Long tail keywords are unpredictable search terms that people enter into search engines. They are long simply because all of the short terms are predictable.”

There is a pretty simple way to add a “Read More” link so that your frontpage will only display the text of a post up to the read more button. All you have to do is to click on the “Insert More” button (alt-shift-T)in your post editor. Alternatively, you can add “” in the HTML tab of your post.

Let me know if this answers your question.
