It is critical that you pay some attention to them as an SEO. Sometimes as much as 75% of your overall site traffic can be attributed to the long tail phrases.

So, what is a longtail phrase? Basically, it is a search phrase that is longer and more specific, for example:

Cowboy boots= short phrase, with huge search volume (currently TK has a client ranking on the first page for this hot phrase :) )

Care for rattle snake skin cowboy boot= long phrase, less search volume

Add up a bunch of these long tail phrases, and you often get significant search volume.
