Great News
Its great to hear that now people are using 3 to 4 words query to search something on Google.
Longer tail
Long tail is King. It is much more specific and is more accurate, and reflects more of what the user wants.
Anyone who doesnt have some kind of analytical tracking program link Google Analytics needs to get that on their site now :)
So boring it has to be true
So boring it has to be true :) like it.
thesaurus
This is definitely becoming the norm, and the longer the tails/phrases the more grammatical alternatives have to be considered, with common words such as "with" being replaced with "and" in the tail sentences.
I don't think that the 4 query searches are a good thing
In my opinion, although I may have gotten better at search, it's really that I've learnt how to deal with searches that don't answer my need. I find that i have to long tail my query in order to get a relevant search term...
Very annoying. If Yahoo can remain independent long enough to take their Search intent technology to life, they might just gain me as a user... even though google is "hip"per.
goog news
I think breaking the 3 word search barrier is great news. 4 words makes it easier to target the right people more often. This is exciting news, indeed.
when it stops
Maybe in a distant future average query will be like epic poem about what you want to find.
I'm usually type one word and press Feeling Lucky button. Cause I'M LUCKY )))))
how many words?
checking our google dashboard, each string seems to include in, at and..... do they count?
4 words - try home town
I wonder if theUK searching customer will ever learn to use their home town or county in the search terms to regionalise their search - it would help them (and me) so much.
SEO
Wow! Thats incredible. It went from 3 to 4 words in a search. Jees, Whats next? 5? 6? Will it ever end?
