It is important to mix in Business Opportunity Long Tail keyword sets to better define your shopper and for them to define you.  Look, say you list your chair under ‘Chairs’ where Google’s Long-Tail keyword system will allow six to eight times the search exposure if the shopper is looking for something specific such as a brown chair with red suede to make the office more randy baby – yeah!

Back to serious business.  If you create a fresh, well planned Long Tail keyword it is The long tail keyword much more likely to make the search more successful for both the person searching and the site you want said information found on–YOURS!
