Long-tail SEO is search engine optimization for long-tail keywords
A long-tail keyword is a longer keyword phrase that is usually highly specific.
For example, "Forum Spammer" would be short-tail, while "Forum Spammer Posting in wjunction Forums" would be long-tail - highly specific, and longer.
Usually (but not always) long-tail keywords are captured by having great, thorough content that ranks reasonably well for the short-term variant of the phrase. However, you can also optimize deliberately and directly for the long-tail keyword phrase itself.
