A while back have received an e-mail, as many other Hittail users, from Mike Levin to update to the premium (paid) account, which comes at only $4.95 a month. I feel almost guilty not to join the paid version, because this service helped me so much. But the least I can do is to give Hittail another shout out.
You still can join the Hittail for free, this will allow you to track 100,000 visitors a month. And if you have not try this service yet, I urge you to give it a shot. You simply have nothing to loose. I personally will consider to join the paid service anyway because with the paid version you are able to generate both Google and Yahoo sitemaps for your websites.
Here are some numbers for you to consider. At the time I started to use Hittail the average number of daily visitors to my blog was about 10. I have been getting about 70-100 visitors a day to this blog for last 4 weeks. Hittial and it’s suggestions are responsible for at least 80% of that traffic. The service is simple, you do not need to be a rocket scientist to use it, the suggestions are simple and the results are beyond anything I have expected. While this blog is not benfiting from the service as much as it could, on some other sites I am experiencing a 500% increase of search traffic.

I think that Hittail is perfect for bloggers, who can take a Hittail suggestion and create an article around the term. This article is a perfect example. If you search Google for “Hittail Results” you will see that my site is on the first page, if not in the first position for the term.
But long tails have fewer visitor numbers… It can sometimes be beneficial to be on the 2nd page of a more general term. I am just saying, it should be throughly analyzed.

Kral,
I agree that you should consider carefully Hittail suggestions. While the long tail keywords do have fewer visitors, in case of this website longtail is responsible for 87% of all traffic, while “top ten” bring only 13% of the traffic.

HitTail doesn't advocate targeting the entire long tail. It's rigged so that it only suggests items where there is known traffic. So, if there is a popular term for which HitTail sees you might have potential, it is capable of issuing a suggestion on popular terms as well. It just happens less.
Thanks Mike for stopping again. I think that in order to use the Hittail successfully, it's suggestions should be also used “outside” o one's blog/website. I use the suggestions in anchor text for the links in articles and press releases. Also targeting the entire long tale would require great amount of time. in my case the Hittail has collected about 2000 keywords.
