Sorry, what exactly are you asking? Long-tail just refers to more specific keywords.

Insurance - short tail
Car insurance for over 25's - long tail

It's not the keyword that converts - it's your website. The keyword simply brings people to your site. If your site serves the purpose of the keyword, it'll convert. If you're targeting keywords that aren't relevant and serve a need that you can't fulfill, they won't convert.

Not really, no. Anchor text is the text that's used when you link out to another website.

Google search engine. <-- 'Google search engine' is the anchor text.

Long-tail and short-tail keywords are just different types of keywords you can target. As per my example earlier, short-tail keywords are very broad, and long-tail keywords are very exact. Long-tail keywords convert much better as there's a much higher chance that the results will be relevant to the user.

if you are asking to search for a long tailed keyword, I bet it will be difficult for you find it. you should be more specific or let's just say try to looks for the most type in keywords.

Longtail keywords contain 3 and 4-keyword phrases that specify to what you are selling. Usually used by customer trying to be more specific to what they are really looking for.

example:

instead of lindsay wagner used lindsay wagner bionic woman.

As what I know long tail is just used for those not ranking yet.
As it is much easier to rank for.

Yes, you may base it on KW tools using the most popular and relevant keyword that you want to target but like francesca said, it is much easier to rank in long tail ones!
