Example of Long Tail Keywords

On one of my other blogs, I posted a link to Ed Bassmaster's Youtube clip where he does the Robot in a department store with a hidden camera, while asking an employee questions.  It's a really funny video, which I though my readers would enjoy.

The point of this blog is to show you that LONG TAIL keywords (any phrases with 4 or more words) are very easy to rank with, and get the number one spot.

If you do a search on Google right now, fore Ed Bassmaster, my site is nowhere near the first page.

Now do a search instead for "Ed Bassmaster Doing the Robot" and you will see that my personal blog ranks number one for that keyword.  (Do not type the quotes.)

It is interesting to me that my blog, which is more about the life of a designer, ranks number one for that keyword phrase.  It is higher than the actual Youtube URL, because the keyword matches exactly.

What can we learn from this?  It is easy to get traffic if you have content, because long tail keywords offer you a chance to rise to the top of the SERPs, if your audience uses a search query that is an exact phrase match.  Granted, the search volume is smaller, but since there is so LITTLE competition, it is still worth the effort to try to rank for LTKW's.

Here is my blog entry, if you want to watch the video now.  It's really funny.
