Long tail keywords are formed as keyword phrases that consist of between three and five words, usually used when searching for a rather specific item.

Just look at your signature links. For ex. If you target a keyword “Buy Books Online in India” it means you are targeting long tail keyword.

Well, people are explaining long tail keyword pretty well...

The benefit of using long tail keywords is that these keywords bring quality traffic. Competition for long tail keywords is less and they bring targeted traffic.

In my opinion, long tail keywords are more profitable than short tail keywords.
