    In my opinion, the age of both long tail and short tail keywords are over. in 2015 Google rolled out their sophisticated AI technology called’Rank brain’.According to google the Rank brain is learning a new search query every second. And this will allows it to learns the exact human language.Now It gives more importance to human readability and emotional keywords. including Medium tail keywords and optimizing content for human readability and understanding is the best way to rank better in SERP. And It also look for the CTR, page dwell time and other factors to rank pages.

    Its because mostly what people search are long-tail keywords, for example, if you want to learn how to make homemade french fries, you will search “How to make homemade french fries” and probably not “homemade french fries”.
