I know this was written several years ago, but I figured I would comment to mention that I think that the tools have come a long way. The one I use has a long tail feature, which is helpful. Having said that, you are still right. You need to look in your logs in addition to traditional keyword research. A combination of these plus things like using social media can help you to drive traffic to your site. Have a good day!

They become a much better targeted visit than someone finding you through the most general word in your market. That person usually has no idea what they're really looking for and aren't usually in much of a buying mood either.

Whereas long tail KWP have been converting at 1.2% on average. We spent a lot less money getting ranked for the long tail, and it is making us more.

I keep telling them that just because a term has millions of searches doesn't mean it's gonna bring in the money. But they insist. Despite earlier failures due to the same judgment. It's annoying me.
