Long Tail Keywords Get You Higher

What are long tail keywords? They are phrases rather than single words, generally up to four words long. Phrases are more descriptive than single keywords and will result in more specific search results. For instance, "Russian" will get you 416 million results on Bing and the sites listed at the top of page one may not be relevant to the searcher's needs. Enter "Russian online language tuition" and you'll get 843 thousand results and the top sites listed on page one are all likely to be relevant to the searcher's term. Getting the best search engine rankings for single keywords is a hard-won, long-term process but there are some quick wins to be had if you concentrate your efforts on long tail keywords with little or no competition. These are likely to quickly gain top page ranking and remain there.
