Spot on. I have an in-depth article about a niche topic and ranked on place 1-3 for many years. Everybody who typed the short keyword would want an in-depth explanation. These days, the search volume went way up and my article went down to 6-10. The first three spots merely give a rough explanation of my in-depth topic. Quite insulting actually. But upon further reflection I realized that most people these days only want a rough definition and no in-depth explanation. Google gives this to them. The people who used to search for my keyword now add 2-3 more words to get to my in-depth article. The typical long tail. What I find worrisome is that sometimes, the long tail query I use to find quality content gives me the same results as the unspecific short query. Some stuff is close to impossible to find without knowing a very topic-specific thing.
