long-tail v0.0.1

Long tail keyword suggestion tool

This module pulls data from a paid API. A very cheap API but still a paid one. As of this moment it costs $0.002 to create a request and retrieve anywhere from 300 to 800 long tail suggestions. The results are pulled from the search inputs from the various sources available (currently: eBay, Amazon, Google, Youtube) so the keywords are highly relevant and related to the provided keyword.

Where to use this package

This package fits very well inside applications that has anything to do with SEO, writing blogs posts of articles. By using this package a writer can gain insights into what is also popular regarding a given topic/keyword. This way he/she is able to address more targeted visitors which are known to convert better since they are not browsing for a wide keyword but a rather specific topic.

Since the results are being pulled out of the search bar from these services, the keywords are highly targeted and related. One could also do marketing research to see what products are in high demand when using the Amazon or eBay service.

If you want to publish videos on youtube it's also recommended to do a research with this package. You can immediately find out long tails that are guaranteed to drive traffic since it's what the users request anyway. Targeting long tails makes the job easier because, the deeper you go, the lower the competition targeting the same audience.
