Focus on short keywords only, which are very time consuming and money consuming. Like: "online casino", "online slots", .... The risk is huge. Before I did and now I will still do it, that is, with a new website, visitors are the key factor. A new website, the main keywords (short keywords) will not be top immediately, so you must focus on longtail keywords. Longtail keywords are easy to top, but the important thing is that the longtail keyword must not be synonymous with the main keyword (because if it is synonymous, how can we compete with a competitor). With the small initial visitors, you will know what to do with the web to:
• Optimizing the time visitors stay on the web: ie increasing the time on site, if you want to increase the on-site time, the first website must be beautiful, the content written about longtail keywords must be good, ...
• Through these initial visitors, you will know what your site needs to keep, what to throw away. Simply because at the beginning of making the web, you will follow the feelings (from things like widgets, menus, logos, ...), when you have statistics, you will set yourself as an information searcher, now the web Your settings will be "optimized" for users like never before.

    You never said why long-tail keywords seem to be easier to SEO.


    So, I'll add that: because they are as there are fewer people competing for them, in general.

      I would add that it depends on the vertical/niche. I did an extensive search for long tails in the weight toss and also the bodybuilding niche and I found that many people were competing for even the low-volume, long tail keywords.

    Focus on long-tail keywords, because this strategy offers lots of benefits. It is much easier to rank for them because they are highly specific to your niche.

      No. It is easier to rank for them because there are fewer competitors.

      Ab machines
      is just as specific to getting great abs as
      Abdominal fitness machines.

      Or

      Abdominal fitness machine exercises for great abs.

      But there are more people fighting to be at the top for ab nachibes than for the other two.

    letting Algo to use wider spectrum to determine what is relation
    between what you are looking for and what is available in index.

      Anything more than 4.6785 is overkill.

    It is much easier to rank for long-tail keywords than for more common keywords because fewer websites compete for high rankings in the result pages of Google.

    Long-tail keywords are more specific than short keywords. So you will get higher conversion rate as they are specific. It will also help to generate more organic traffic.

    Longtail keyword SEO can be very beneficial and can be less expensive and less time consuming than targeting domain names that are shorter. It's really that simple but the story doesn't end here. It takes longer to build up traffic this way so if you're budget is small it's a way you can build up website traffic over time.

    Consider this example. Mortgage.com is a premium domain name. The word mortgage is searched hundreds of thousands of times at least every day. The words mortgage rates are searched a lot less. In brief, mortgagerates -- all one word-- would be an example of a longer longtail keyword. The words mortgageratesnow would be an example of an even longer longtail keyword domain.

    Now, consider this: With changes to Googles algorithms it ranks exact name keyword domain names lower than other names with more inbound links and other high ranking qualities, including social networks. This is all part of the growing and ever changing business of search engine optimization.

    When social media marketing channels began to have a great influence on SEO, the use of long-tail keywords showed more specificity and direct queries from customers' search demand, because these keywords can look like a question from anyone on social media.

    it is because only few people look for specific ones. very people do searching by writing those.. However there is pros and cons of these. Either you get specific traffic or you will not get it. You need to come with unique niches .. Can work in this area

    long tail keywords are easier to use for writers since they are more grammatically correct and are massively used by people to search for a particular topic.
