If you focus on a main competitive keyword, will then rank for long tail terms?

I was thinking, if I focus on one main, highly competitive keyword, will I end up ranking for long tail keywords automatically?

Example, say the keyword with most searches and highest competition is this:

get rid of annoying girlfriend


If I build lots of backlinks for that keyword alone, will I then rank good for these keywords automatically:

get rid of annoying girlfriend fast
how to get rid of annoying girlfriend
how to get rid of annoying girlfriend fast

...and so on, and so on.


Know what I mean? If I focus on one "core" keyword, can I achieve a bunch of good rankings for various long-tail keywords?

    I cant answer your question because this is exactly what I am testing right now.

    I have however had hits using more or less the criteria you mentioned here with a 2 week old site and only 2 posts indexed.

    The searche queries were very similar but not exact to my keywords.

    On further investigation I found these searches were on page 1 google for my site.

    Its an experiment Im doing involving domain name and post titles.
