What Is A Long Tail Keyword?

Long tail keywords are keywords or key phrases that are more specific and usually longer than more commonly searched for keywords. They normally consist of 3 and more words.

Long tail keywords get less search traffic, but will usually have a higher conversion value, as they are more specific. You can find great long tail keywords with little competition.
