The long tail keywords are better than short one word ones as long as they are ones that are actually being used for searches. That's where the paid version of Wordracker really shines. I think Rob owns the paid version and was advertising giving people the popular long tail keywords for people that asked him on another post here.
Let's take your last post for example
Parsing a Country Song #1 | Globally Rational
by the way Wordpress is saving them as numbers not as words.
If you used music, Nashville, songs, country, for keywords you would be pretty low on the totem pole for each of those words. If you used "Nashville country music songs" for a keyword you would be much higher for that exact search. Now you have put yourself in a position for some people to find you.
Wouldn't it be better to be position #1 for 10 people than position #100 for a thousand people? I remember a good phrase "Niche marketing, divide and conquer".
