According to Hitwise Data (PDF FILE),
- More than half of all search queries are at least three words long.
- More than a third are four words or longer than that.
That means that Internet users are typing long words in different search engines as a part of their search queries. Have a look at this table that gives us a deeper insight on all the observations concerned with search queries:
It is easily depicted from the above table that 1- and 2- word queries are almost losing their impact and are becoming less common to see. On the other hand, word queries with 4, 5 (up to 8 ) words are becoming quiet a trend these days. That is why more and more webmasters are concentrating on creating contents based on long search queries these days!
The same announcement also stated these words: “Google’s search share held steady at 72% in January. Yahoo also held steady at 17.8%. MSN/Live Search saw a slight drop from the month before, while Ask saw a slight increase.â€
