Longer Search Queries Decrease With More Keywords

I thought this was a very interesting statistic.

While performing SEO (Search Engine Optimization) services we’re told to not forget the long tail of the search. (I.E. The length of the keyword search). A lot of people don’t just search with one word.

Well it turns out the majority of us search using only one word and the percentages of clicks decrease as we add more keywords to our search.

Still Focus on The Long Tail Search

That’s not to say that you shouldn’t focus on the long tail search. You should. The long tail search is usually beneficial for creating conversions because people are using more descriptive and specific terms in their search.
