Many people use search box as their address bar. Here's an interesting article which talks about exactly that: Why "Yahoo" Is The #1 Search Term On Google http://www.dailydomainer.com/200742-yahoo-top-search-term-on-google.html I agree with you Conor.

It's using Google search box in the way an address box was intended. This helps explain why bebo and facebook are very common searches. It's not a case of people looking for references to those sites, it's a 'please take me to my favourite site' request, not a search request. Also very few non-expert computer users understand favourites or bookmarks. Therefore they constantly use Google several times a day to access their favourite site. Here are the most popular search terms in the UK in Google last year. 1. facebook 2. bbc 3. youtube 4. ebay 5. games 6. news 7. hotmail 8. bebo 9. yahoo 10. jobs Strip out the ones that look like requests to access a named site and you are left with Games, News, Jobs. I think this means that to find out what people are SEARCHING for, one needs a different method.

Next you need to use those keywords you researched and create pages themed around them. This way when you start to rank you will also rank for the most important keywords in your industry. For all of this I like to use WordPress. It’ s easy to instal…
