The Tale Behind the Tail
Principles and Strategies for Managing the Long Tail
The long tail, a concept first popularized by Chris Anderson in a 2004 article in Wired magazine, is a concept that refers to businesses in which many low volume items cumulatively account for a large portion of revenue. When applied to SEM, this concept describes the way consumers search for products and services. In a typical campaign, 80% of overall search volume is dominated by 100 or less generic high frequency queries and the remaining 20% of volume comes from unique and highly specific low frequency queries. A savvy search marketer leverages this information when building out his or her campaign. The smart marketer bids on high frequency queries such as “cheap flights” but also bids on thousands and sometimes millions of queries such as “cheap flights to Estonia” that are rare but highly targeted.

The Impact of Mobile Internet on Search
Every year, mobile content providers have predicted that this is the year of mobile. Realistically, there are two factors that will contribute to a significant increase in consumer mobile internet use: speed and usability. These are finally getting to the point of mass mobile internet adoption, and so mass adoption of mobile search. But success of a mobile search campaign relies on a different approach by brands. When on the move, consumers don't want to browse, they want to find. Searches are more specific, more action based, and more localised: 'find cinema in W1', rather than 'read film reviews for new releases'. This insight guide gives advice to brands on how to plan, test and implement a mobile search campaign.
