If long tail keywords were no longer effective then how would shorter keywords be useful? It would simply mean that everyone was competing for short generic terms that might not be relevant to what the usr wanted.

Thank you a lot for your answer. Could you please advise approximately How many long-tailed Keywords should be my target as number? I found about 6 relevant long tail ones, which seem suitable.

What I would do in this situation is to choose the most relevant keywords to your content. 50 suggestions is too much to work with.

Something else you could do is run a quick search with those specific keywords in Google search and see how many results you have for each query. Keep the top 10 with the higher number.

In the end, use all those suggestions in your content, if possible.

Regarding your last questions. The answer is pretty easy: People who end up on a page are more likely to buy. But this will happen only if they came naturally. In case you artificially add keywords you might risk having a high bounce rate.

Regards,
Andreea

Thanks for the write up- there are useful ideas there. I didn’t get completely your point about the long tail Keywords. Ok-we have chosen the suggested words, which have high or medium competition and then what?
Let’s say you would like to chose keywords for your site Meta description and after filtering still have 50 suggestions with same parameters (i.e. Monthly search) – What criteria are you going to use to chose very few results from these 50 (assumption) results?
Regarding the example with the artificial words-I agree – misleading the customers sometimes could bring penalties. Not everything in this world is SEO…but as you mentioned in the beginning-the people who are already on your site is more likely to buy…one way, or another….

I beleive SEO is developing into a more technical role, as I work for a fairly large eCommerce company as an SEO Analyst, I don’t find myself doing the day-to-day tasks as I would have done agency-side, instead I’m starting to become involved in the more technical stuff, crawls, log file analysis, using XPath extractions with Screaming frog etc.
The mobile-first transition is also going to be a very interesting one, I’m hoping some industry experts will talk about this next year at conferences.

It was a great way to be reminded which technology is just about to kick in when we’re talking about search engines. The rules of SEO are ever changing. Not in the “panic” way, but it’s steadily turning in another direction with voice search, VR etc that we’ll have to adabt our SEO effort to 😉
