Most of the traffic from 6 months ago was for long-tail phrases. Yet, these same long-tail phrases are what rank highly in the SERPs currently. However, I see next to nothing traffic-wise from these long-tail phrases currently, despite their current high ranking. That is what perplexes me. How could they rank well, yet not see any traffic, unless there has been a shift in searching phrases for this niche ?
