Marketing Benefits of Long Tail Keywords
“Classic Car Insurance Dublin” is a good example of a long-tail keyword. The car insurance niche is a lucrative one. This makes it a very competitive niche, so it is hard to get a site to rank highly in the SERPS for the simple keyword “car insurance” and using such a keyword in a pay-per-click (PPC) campaign would be expensive. Refining the keyword can make a big difference. Car insurance companies and their affiliates all over the world are trying to rank for “Car Insurance”. Few of them will find Dublin drivers to be of particular interest and of those that do fewer still will be keen to specifically attract the attention of classic car owners. This means there will be fewer sites trying to rank for the long tail keyword “classic car insurance Dublin” and less PPC competition (making the price per click lower than on less specific keywords). It also means that any traffic arriving at a site via those keywords is very targeted traffic that is more likely to convert to sales; so long-tail keywords can be of key benefit to any website or PPC campaign.
