Cost per Click (CPC)

prosPros

As I said above. Long-tails have less competition so the prices per click are lower than any other short-tail keywords (organic keywords). Fewer people bidding on them because it is really complicated to find them manually at first and then create & optimize them.

Cons

While these keywords can generate you 50% or more traffic, many of them will be one-time traffic for you because of highly targeted customers who are looking for the specific product so they know the exact name or at least it’s part. We called it a product-group name.

Click-Through Rate (CTR)

prosPros

While searches of 1, 2 and 3 words have a relatively low CTR, CTR appears to increase significantly for searches of at least 4 words. CTR, it seems, is considerably stronger for long-tail keywords.

Conversion Rate

prosPros

We know now that long-tail keywords have significant search volume, strong CTR and they are often cheaper than any other organic short-tail keywords. But clicks are not enough. We are talking about product long-tail keywords so stores need to have conversions, where the customers pay for products (shopping carts). According to statistics from BlueWinston.com, there are almost up to 10% average conversion rate which is great!

Cons

There is also one very important fact – product long-tail keywords have the highest conversion rate but also very less of this kind of searches. Which results in occasional conversions. It means that this kind of advertisement is working as an additional marketing channel and it has to be done on almost the whole product segment within the store, cause nobody knows which keywords will make conversions for you!

Cost per Acquisition (CPA)
