You know, that actually makes a lot of sense. Recently, I attempted to bid on some long-tail keywords in AdWords for some targeted ads, but unfortunately they don’t have the “search volume” to qualify.

You mean you cannot bid on keywords with very low search volume ?

Yes Adwords will prevent you from targeting low volume/long tail combinations and recommend higher volume more vague and simple keyword/combinations.
