Search Engine Optimization

Thanks for bringing up long-tail words. I'll give it a try. When typing in keywords on blogs, the first impulse is that they should be short... and when the blog form says the separator is a space, then how does hyphenating truly work??

Can you just string a bunch of nouns and adjectives together?

This may be hard to prove and harder to believe, but you have to see it work first. Try this:
Choose a four word long-tail, and do the search. Take note of the results.
Then do different combinations of the four words you used. Take note of the results.

Try to do maybe six different combinations of the same four keywords. Then decide for yourself:
if the results do not change, meaning that the results are exactly the same, then there's your answer.

However, if you try the long tail keywords enclosed in parentheses, the results should change and should not be exact. However, the results should be approximately the same as those without any parentheses.

The parentheses tell the search engine to use the exact wording and arrangement of words. So the real question is what long-tail keywords you should use? And why?
