Rethinking Search: Keyphrases & Long Tail - Avinash Kaushik

In this interview at eMetrics, Avinash Kaushik encourages us to rethink search. Instead of keywords, think instead in terms of 'long tail' keyphrases that are used infrequently, but represent qualified, motivated customers. His initial advice is to use SEO or organic search for brand and 'head' terms, and to exploit paid search for 'long tail' terms. SEO should be seen as a long-term strategy.
