I tried your tips using long keywords (phrases) some days ago for some customers new to SEO. However, could you suggest a quicker yet white hat way in working with short yet highly competitive way. I know you may come back with the idea of more link building. So may be I am asking a white hat, free and most probably a prompt way of getting traffic and ranking high in SERP against short and competitive keywords. Many thanks again for sharing this because I am the real beneficiary of what you wrote above! Ralphm,

Google clearly wants you to focus on individual keywords in Google Adwords. And, as we worry more and more about Quality Scores, we'll see the long term come in as a major component of improving your QS where we'll need to build ads targeted at even longer tail words. It's seems difficult to build great content around keywords that have never been search before. I have never heard the "20% of all searches are with keywords that have never been used before" stat, but it makes sense. I guess that's why Google's broad (or maybe better stated as really really really broad) search is, well, so broad. This is very insightful and I’ve been seeing the same things myself.

Very Good convincing point. I completely agree we have to think from customer point of view before website optimization so that we can get maximum queries in a short span of time. Amazing Article.

It's true, the 80/20 rule is definitely real, and you certainly don't want to spend a lot of money on keywords that aren't contributing to the overall health and success of your business when you're doing PPC.
