Hear Ye, Hear Ye: Announcing The “Search Query Oddity of the Week�
September 26, 2006
Here at Intrapromote, the latest search behavior is very important to us and our clients. When I say “search behavior�, I’m referring to how people use search engines to search for client sites and their offerings. To do this, we have to be on top of all the different search queries, or keywords and phrases, people use when seeking out our clients’ sites.
We have clients with a list of 100 relevant keywords and phrases. We have clients with a list of 10,000 relevant keywords and phrases.
Many of our clients are surprised at some of the ways people search for their products, services, and site offerings. Some are quite different than they expect and often, some keywords and phrases are either much more popular or much less popular than expected. We even find some new clients have had their sites previously optimized for paticular keywords or phrases that we determine no one actually uses. Woops!
Since we are constantly researching the latest search behavior, we run across some real doozies – keywords or phrases that are shocking, gross, puzzling, and often LOLFOF (laugh out loud, fall on floor) funny. Makes for some interesting water cooler talk around here!
So, we’ve decided, it’s about time we started sharing some of these interesting search queries with our readers.
Starting next week, each of our staff will nominate one search query. We also welcome all our readers to submit oddities coming from their keyword research or search behavior tools. We will then decide which is crowned the Search Query Oddity of the Week. If one of our readers comes out on top, they will be rewarded with a link here on SEO Speedwagon. Finally, a new category will be added in our left column where each week’s winner will be archived for eternity.
This should be fun. Ready? Go.
