Long-tail keywords are keywords  that are more specific and usually longer  than more commonly searched for keywords. For instance, the term “shoes” alone could refer to anything from sports shoes to official shoes — not exactly a niche audience.

Long-tail keywords get less search traffic, but will usually have a higher conversion value, as they are more specific. To optimize content for the right people, it’s important to be specific. “Shoes” is good, but “Women shoes” is better, and “Nike women’s running shoes” beats them all.

Longtail phrases also tend to have lower competition in search results, increasing the odds of higher page ranks in Google.
