How do you Google?
In a recent conversation between my 16 year old daughter and my husband (her father), I started to question if there is indeed an age gap in the way we search for things online. My husband, it seems, according to my 16 yr old, does it the hard way. He tries to use actual keywords.
If there is a water ring on a wooden table, he would try to Google, "water ring removal wooden table"
My daughter, on the other hand, would search, "how do I get a water ring out of a wooden table"
While both searches will capture results, my daughter claims that typing the actual question will get you better, more accurate, results. I will say, getting the screen shots, it is interesting how much more I had to type in my husband's method before Google would fill in the rest. So, does this mean that my daughter's method is actually the more accurate way? Maybe it just shows a trend as to how searches are now being performed.
This is an interesting question when it comes to writing our blogs. As we insert our keywords, studying up on longtail SEO, how long of a tail do you try to get? If Googlers are writing out entire sentences to determine where to find something, should we be writing this way?
So, how do you Google? Do you write your blogs the same way?
