The long tail keyword search proves true
I am now convinced that the long tail keyword search really works, when a user wants specific information. If he / she wants to find the information, he / she will refine the keyphrase search term to get a satisfactory search engine result.
Yesterday, I was just trying to figure out what keywords and keyphrases a site that I’m SEO ‘ing ranks well for. I typed “sexy college girls in miami” in the Google search engine and the site came up at number 64. Not so bad, considering my major on page search engine optimization / seo efforts were really started just a few weeks ago for that website. But what I found is that that Google took the text from an image alt tag not right at the top of the page - ‘access to college girls on DVDs’. The only words that matched my searched keyphrase were ‘college’ and ‘girls’. ‘Miami’ was in another alt text four images after. The description in the search results for my search all came from the alt text in consecutive images.
I mean, for the professional SEO people this might be nothing. For a beginner like me, it is a discovery. Seeing for myself how the long tail keyword really does work reinforced what they say - you have to try things out to see the result for yourself.
