Welcome to our discussions. I don't know much about Google Trends, but I've verified the same results in Google Analytics and other stats programs I use on my sites. The use of long tail searches is definitely on the rise. Act on your dream! JD Good morning, Bill.

Comparing some of the long tail keywords to their most suited single keyword, I found that the general keyword searches were going down while many of the long tailed keyword searches were seeing increased search activity. Google Trends is wonderful for comparing this. I came to the same conclusion regarding long tailed keyword searches as well.

Welcome to our discussion. I agree that more website traffic is an important aspect for success in affiliate marketing, but I don't think it's the secret. Getting targeted visitors who are interested in buying what you offer is more important than just more traffic. What do you think? Act on your dream! JD Good morning, Melissa.

I disagree with you about it being a "duh" moment. Yes, this is old news for many of us, but we've spent years trying to learn how to please the search engines through basic SEO techniques and that leads to better skills on our part when using the search engines. For many people, finding something is still a mystery. They use search terms that I would never think of, unless I used tools that helped me see what they were really searching for. With Google's introduction of personal search results, I don't know how that's going to affect those of us who publish and advertise, and I'm not sure how it's really going to affect those who are basically searching and reading. It's going to be an interesting change and I may blog about it later today. Still, I agree with you that people will find that using more terms will result in finding what you want more reliably, so most Internet users will be using longer search terms in the future. It's just that this is the first time I've seen this echoed in my own stats for more than a few searches. Act on your dream! JD Good morning, Mitch.

Yes, I think some Internet users are getting more skilled at using the search engines, but I think they're still in the minority. Most of the searches I see in my stats are for three words or less. While the long-tail searches are more than they used to be, they comprise only a small fraction of the total searches that find my sites. I think we know a lot more about search engines and using them effectively because we study them and try to find ways to rank highly on them. That leads to better skills on our parts, I believe.

I mean, people are learning that one word isn't going to get it done, maybe 3 or 4 words are better, but if they can throw in as many pertinent words as possible then things will be even better. Yeah, there are some folks who still haven't mastered search, but those in the know get it. .-= Mitch´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ImJustSharing/~3/6RG7Ag0aK2Y/" rel="nofollow">What’s Up With Broken Link Checker?</a> =-.

It seems to me like internet users are getting far more skilled at using search engines, and that in doing this they've learnt to make use of longer keyword searches to get more accurate and precise results for their searches. When I search I tend to enter as many words as I know are relevant, and often place my searhc within quotation marks. I wonder what the statistics are on that? .-= Ravi Kuwadia´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.howtomakequickmoneytoday.com/my-success/list-building/get-700-unique-visitors-permonth" rel="nofollow">How I Got 700 Unique Visitors Last Month?</a> =-.
