What people on the internet ask most often. Interesting figures and facts on the Runet sector. How to view Yandex request statistics

We will talk about one interesting Yandex service that will help us find out what they are looking for Internet users and how you can use it for your own purposes. Any webmaster probably knows that Yandex has quite a few services that are designed to help us. Today we'll talk about just such a service. How will he help us? It all depends on the goals you are pursuing.

As you might have guessed from this subtitle, we are talking about a service called live Yandex... And his name is not just that. As this service really provides an opportunity to find out what they are looking for right now in the Yandex search engine online. The topic is really cool. Not only can you see what users enter into search string, but also use the data for their own purposes, for example, to identify a query that is gaining popularity. That is, for example, we have some kind of topic for writing an article and what are we doing? We go to Yandex.Wordstat and select keys for our topic, if you do not know how to do this, be sure to read the article about the site. There I told in detail what was what.

But back to our topic. How can this service help? Usually, we select the necessary queries focusing on the frequency and discarding all unnecessary, that is, zero or not cost-effective queries. But, if you use Yandex live broadcast, then you can really shoot. Of course, this will take a very long time or a parser to identify such interesting queries. It works like this: for example, we went to Yandex.Wordstat, picked up popular words by frequency and left. And not popular words remained. But we know that Wordstat gives out information with a lag and therefore a popular query may appear unpopular... And someone via live broadcast identified a request which is rapidly gaining popularity, but according to the wordstat it is zero, which we discarded others too. And a cunning user using the information received is sure that this request will bring him a lot of traffic, and even without competition, since the others do not promote this request.

So, with the help of the Yandex analytical service, you can increase the traffic of your Internet resource, for this you just need to find out what users are looking for and use the information received.

Moreover, we can see in which part of the planet they are gaining key phrase, zoom in or pause. And this service is located.

And I would like to add that not so long ago this service showed the last 20 requests and had to constantly refresh the page. And it turned out not quite a live broadcast. But now, everything is much more convenient and simpler. And keeping track of what users ask can be quite fun, sometimes you will see it ...

Moreover, with the help of the Yandex analytical center, we can find out the most popular queries over the past year, broken down by category, city and other criteria. You can also see the themes of the year, etc. That is, having collected all necessary information and after analyzing it, we can find a lot of useful things for ourselves and our site.

Popular Yandex queries broken down into various criteria and presented in the form of graphs with percentages, as well as short descriptions... In general, do not pass by.

This is what the top themes of 2012 from Yandex look like.

With the help of this analytical center, you can learn a lot about users, about the queries they type and about the Yandex search engine itself. Personally, I'm going to dig deeper into the analytics and advise you.

And that's all for me. I told you what, in my opinion, may be of interest to the site owner. That is, about live broadcasts and popular Yandex.

Good luck to you friends. Until next time.

According to the FOM, about 26 million people in Russia use the Internet today and, as the statistics of recent years show, this figure is constantly increasing. The most demanded "service" of the World Wide Web is the use of search engines... In our country, the most popular are search engines Yandex and Google.

What are our fellow citizens looking for on the Internet most often? To answer this question, we used the statistics of the search engine google systems, which is the world leader in attendance.

At the end of 2006, Russians on the Internet most of all asked for dating sites, in second place in terms of search were resources related in one way or another to photography - photo galleries, photo schools, photo contests. Not without, of course, resources with erotic photos. The top three search engines are completed by requests for “abstract” topics - a large number of our fellow citizens want to find and download “for free” an abstract, term paper or test paper.

Queries on the topic of “job search” and “New Years”, which took fourth and fifth places in the Google ranking, respectively, barely reached the "podium". While job searches are traditionally highly rated, the theme of the New Year is “seasonal” in nature - just as in the summer months, inquiries about the services of various travel agencies or descriptions of resorts are in great demand.

Further down the list are the following popular queries: 6th place - news, 7th - horoscopes, 8th place was taken by sites with all sorts of jokes (jokes, pictures, photoshop collages, etc.), 9th place was taken by various chats, and the top ten the most-most "resources containing interesting pictures (screensavers, erotic, cartoons, and others).

It is interesting to compare Russia's “search” preferences with other countries. According to the same Google, at the end of 2006 in the UK, most of the queries were associated with a common resource for network communication Myspace.com, which, however, is close to the popular Russian topic - acquaintance - after all, myspace is one of the ways to meet. The English also like to ask search engines and about real people. Top ten popular queries, included such personalities as Britney Spears and Angelina Jolie (in our country, even Dima Bilan was not among the favorites of requests!

But in Holland, the search engines were asked most of all about Santa Claus (which is understandable, the end of the year for Europeans is associated with Christmas, and not with the New Year, as we do).

It is noteworthy that in Poland, which also belongs to Europe, they were not interested in Santa Claus - such topics as politics, elections-2006 and ... Paris Hilton were more popular.

Fast forward from Europe to Asia. In Thailand, according to Google, search engines most often look for the name of their country (!) - this query comes first, as well as information about Korean cinema and movie stars. In Taiwan, however, job search requests came first.

The preferences of our former fellow citizens - Ukrainians are also interesting. The first place was taken by requests for news resources. It is noteworthy that most of these sites are Russian.


Special research in the field of Internet search has not yet been carried out, but some psychiatrists and psychologists have already identified one varieties of the so-called Internet addiction - obsessive web surfing (endless wandering around the Web with active use of search engines in order to find something "useful") ... However, according to the same studies, the percentage of such deviations from the norm is not very high.

For most users, search engines are a kind of filter that allows them to drive through themselves millions of web pages and return only those in which the requested information is present.

And for some, Internet search has even turned into a kind of game (or even a profession). For several years in a row Yandex has been holding competitions for the Russian Open Cup in Internet search. To win the Cup, participants need to complete several tasks within a certain period of time - to find necessary information using search engines.

For effective search on the Internet there are several rules developed by specialists of the same Yandex. So, you need to search correctly like this:

Check spelling in the spelling of a word.

Use synonyms if the list of found pages is too small.

Search for more than one word. Narrow down the subject of your search as much as possible.

Don't start ordinary words with capital letterother than proper names.

To exclude documents where a certain word occurs, put a minus sign in front of it. Conversely, if this word is most important, the plus sign.

Use a query language if necessary to make your query more precise.

You can request a specific form of a word when searching (excluding other word forms) by placing a "!"

Installing a special button in the Link Bar will allow you to start a one-touch search without copying the query to the search bar.

Note that the document context may already contain the response, i.e. you do not need to go into the document itself.

Use the search settings to set convenient parameters for document descriptions and the structure of the search results page.

To speed up the search, disable the loading of images in the browser or use the light versions of the search engines. For example, Ya.ru.

Every year, in December, Yandex and Google compose topics and ratings of the year. But these are not the most popular queries, which reflect the choice of users for an entire year.

The Yandex blog says that "Topics of the Year" are not what was asked a lot in general, but what caused the greatest surge of interest... For a number of years, the lists of events, people and phenomena that have become signs of the outgoing year will always include major news, new phenomena, championships, regular seasons of popular TV series, etc.

Keyword statistics features

  • Wordstat.Yandex in its forecasts may take into account events that are no longer relevant for a given month. For example, in February, even compared to December 2017, a large increase in the number of impressions for New Year's greetings was expected, in March - for the holiday on February 23.
  • With the word "family", almost 30% of the screenings are on the social and political site "7x7" (seven of seven) and the film "seven of seven".
  • Most of the requests may be related to a completely different topic. For example, with the word "medicine" the most often searched for the film "The Maze Runner: The Cure for Death", "Sea" - the cartoon "Monsters on Vacation 3: The Sea Calls".
  • Instagram is mainly searched for at the beginning of this word: "instagram", "instagram". The greatest interest is the Instagram of Buzova and Borodina.
  • Yandex considers the words "children" and "child" to be the same, statistics on them are the same.
  • "House" - in the first place is the series "House 2", "Dacha" - radio dacha, listen to dacha, online dacha, etc.
  • Oddly enough, "YouTube" together with "youtube" is not even included in the TOP 10 most popular queries.
  • With the word "internet", most of the impressions are on "online store".
  • The greatest number of impressions is given not by "car", but by "auto"; not "dentistry" but "teeth"; not a "social network" but a "social network".
  • Judging by the statistics, many users want to get a computer, laptop, tablet for free.
  • More than a quarter of all queries with the word "fish" do not refer to its preparation: a fish horoscope, a photo of a fish, what a fish is dreaming of, etc.

User activity on the Internet depends on the time of year, current events and a number of other factors, and therefore the number of searches for keywords is constantly changing.

Popular searches for Yandex images


A poll conducted in January 2016 by the Public Opinion Foundation showed that 87% of Internet users use social networks, of which 51% have accounts in several online communities. 13% do not use social networks.

News on the Internet


80% of Russian Internet users have read news on the Internet in the last month.

Of greatest interest are events in the world, politics in Russia, the activities of the Russian authorities, international relations and family, children, home.

48% of respondents trust information messagesobtained from the Internet.

Children

According to Yandex search data (March - May 2017), the number of search queries about children depends on their age and ranges from 400 thousand per month (children under one year old) to 60 thousand (children 10 years old). Requests that indicate the age of the child and briefly describe the problem or question that has arisen, such as [tantrums in a 2 year old baby what to do] or [how to dress a 7 months old baby in spring] are asked over 1.7 million times a month.

Health

More than 4% of search queries are devoted to the topic "health", almost 7.5 million per day. Every minute Yandex is asked about health more than 5 thousand times. The three biggest medical topics are related to finding information about medicines, about diseases and symptoms, about clinics and doctors. Many topics overlap - because they are often asked at the same time, for example, about illness and nutrition, pregnancy and vitamins, symptoms and medications.

Cooking

Every month, almost 30 million Russian Yandex users submit queries on culinary topics. In total, Yandex responds to more than 91 million requests for food preparation per month - basically, how to cook a particular dish or what to do with a particular product.

Distribution of requests by time of day

People are looking for something on the Internet around the clock. In terms of the total number of requests, three topics are almost always leading: school, cinema, and porn.

Yandex has identified typical topics - those that are more interested in during the day than on average (for the period January - May 2017).

In the morning (after 6 o'clock), first of all, they ask about the weather, find out the meaning of their dreams and congratulate each other on various holidays. Between 8 and 9, they are still trying to deal with personal matters.

From 9 to 17, the most typical work and related topics for search are law, business, production (GOSTs, safety standards, product classifiers). Together with work, people are looking for answers to various questions related to money and government services - paperwork, payments, and more.

At about 15:00, the first non-working one appears among the most popular search topics - games. After 17 hours, there are no more work topics. At this time, interest in games reaches a peak, they also begin to look culinary recipes and cartoons. Schoolchildren start homework.

At 22 o'clock, inquiries about beauty and health, celebrities and sports appear. Until midnight is the most frequent search topic - movie. At night, interest in cinema remains, but porn and intimate services are becoming the most relevant - until 5-6 in the morning.

Have you ever asked yourself the question: what are people looking for on the Internet? What are they interested in? I think if you are a webmaster, or you are simply interested in the topic of the Internet, then you asked yourself this question. Let's find out which search queries are the most popular in 2017 in Yandex and Google.

The most popular queries in Yandex 2017

The most popular phrase in Yandex is free download, and other phrases are also very popular: either with the word “free”, or with the word “download”! Well, what can you do, people love free things: download for free, watch for free, games for free. But besides them, there are other common requests: March 8, New Year, February 23. Yes, the holidays are another very popular topic. True, these are so-called ad-hoc queries, traffic for which grows immediately before the event itself. This usually happens 2-3 days before the holiday and after its end, requests drop to almost zero. I also want to mention seasonal requests. These are the requests that arise at a certain time of the year. There are a lot of such requests, for example, "answers to the exam", "where to relax in the summer", etc.

Here is a list of the most popular searches in Yandex in 2017.

The most popular searches on Google in 2017.

On Google, the list of the most popular queries is similar to the Yandex list. But there are also some differences. For example, here is the most popular word - download. Free download (also a leader), download MP3, download a movie, download a game. By and large, the lists of the most popular queries for both search engines are almost the same. This is, of course, if you take the region of Russia in Google.

Well, now, let's look at the list of the most popular queries on Google in 2017.


What topic for an article should a webmaster choose to get maximum traffic to the site? First you need to check how many times one or another question was asked. Some requests are very popular (free download), others are extremely rare. It is clear, according to popular phrases, the maximum traffic goes. But the competition for them is very strong. As a result, break through for such requests in the TOP10 search results, very hard. As a rule, it is not a problem to get to the top for rare requests, and even more so for zero ones. The problem is different, according to them, the traffic is either very small, or there is none at all.

To determine the popularity of queries, there are two popular tools - Yandex Wordstat and Google planner keywords.

How to view keyword statistics in WordstatYandex

Yandex Wordstat is the most popular tool in Runet for obtaining statistics on search queries. It is free, it allows you to collect data on all search phrases entered by Yandex. It's no secret that Yandex is the most popular search engine in Russia.


What I love about WordstatYandex is its simplicity. To use it, you just need to open a mail in Yandex and go to wordstat.yandex.ru. Next, enter a request and get its statistics. And it's all!


Thus, you can get the dynamics of statistics for any search query. Moreover, you can get data by region and by month.


Yandex Wordstat shows statistics not only for the selected phrase, but also for other search queries related to the search phrase.

Unfortunately, this tool has some drawbacks.

Not entirely clear display of statistics. For example, if you need statistics on the phrase "summer dresses", then Yandex will show that this search query was requested 73,000 times. But this is not the case. In fact, 73,000 times, that's the total number of searches that included the words "Summer Dresses". That is, they also searched for “summer dresses photo”, “buy summer dresses” and so on. If you look at the statistics directly for the phrase "summer dresses", it turns out that there were significantly fewer such search queries.

To determine the exact statistics for a phrase, you need to put the "quotation marks" operator. And then the answer will be completely different.

But find out the exact data for each search phrase you can use the operator exclamation mark, see the screen.

Thanks to Yandex Wordstat, you can quickly find out the statistics for the selected phrase and only then decide whether to use this phrase for promotion.

How to view statistics in Google Planner.

In addition to the Yandex Wordstat service, there is another service. This is Google's service and it's called Google Planner (Keyword Planner). In runet, the description of this service is much less common than the description of Yandex Wordstat. And in vain. Since the capabilities of Google Scheduler significantly exceed the capabilities of Yandex Wordstat.

As for Yandex, here you also need to have your own account... Simply put, you need to have Google mail. Next, go to adwords.google.com, after which, you need to go to the Tools menu,

and select the item - Keyword Planner.


Now you need to select the item - Search for new keywords by phrase, site or category


Enter the desired search term. Here you can also set additional settings: landing page, category, and so on. However, it is not necessary to specify these settings, you can just enter the desired phrase and click on the button - Show options.

A window will open with many numbers. It displays how many options there are with the selected keys (like in Yandex), and separately, how many options for the selected request. There is also a button - Download.



The report shows how many impressions a particular search query had. The statistics displayed are approximate. The values, from and to, differ tenfold: one hundred-thousand requests, one thousand-ten thousand, and so on. For example: the search query, "Summer dresses", has a total of from one hundred to a thousand (region - Russia). And all search queries have such an error.

For a general assessment, such statistics will be sufficient. Indeed, in any case, this is only a rough estimate of whether it is necessary to work with this request. But there is one thing about AdWords. Thanks to this feature, you can get accurate statistics for all requests. True, for this you need to transfer money to an advertising company. For each country, its own minimum wage for creating an advertising company.

Since I have such an account, here is a screen with accurate readings.


As you can see, the exact numbers are already displayed here. More precisely, the exact average figures for the year. Although, when creating a report, you can put a check mark, and then it will indicate values \u200b\u200bfor each month for the past year.

Finding out the statistics of search queries in Yandex is not a problem. It's even easier to do this in Yandex. But Google displays all related requests at once in a file excel programs, thanks to which, you can immediately select the necessary keys. You can sort keys alphabetically, by frequency, by level of competition, by approximate cost.

What is the cost of advertising for a search phrase? First of all, AdWords is designed for advertisers. And of course, potential advertisers, it is just vital to know how much advertising costs for this or that request. But even for webmasters who are not going to provide paid advertising, knowing the value of this parameter will not be superfluous.

In Yandex, you can also find out how much advertising costs for a specific request. But for this, you need to open another service. And this is not so convenient at all.

One more point. The point is that Google may show phrases that may not contain the keywords you requested. However, these search terms can also be related to the search phrase.

For example, for the phrase "summer dresses", Google will also suggest the word "sundress". In fact, this is a hint to webmasters. Which will allow you to use even more search queries for search engine promotion.

How to combine Yandex and Google tools.

Although Yandex is ahead of Google in terms of the number of search queries, Google also has not a small share. And therefore, for me, these search engines are equal. When I get statistics in Yandex, I understand that statistics in Google will be similar. And vice versa. Therefore, both instruments are relevant to me. And here the scheme of my work is simple.

For example, for Yandex requests
"Buy an apartment in Moscow" and
"Buy an apartment from Moscow" will be the same

To avoid this, you must use the + operator before the preposition
"Buy an apartment + in Moscow" and
"Buy an apartment + from Moscow"

Especially relevant when compiling semantics for Direct!

Reply

    Nice addition for operators, they really need to be used. By the way, I also often use "+"

    Reply

    • Well, I think that any user who is going to work with Wordstat should memorize these operators and figure out what each of them represents.
      Moreover, there are not so many of them.

      So, today we will talk with you about what users are looking for on the Internet most often. The thing is that the traffic of certain sites depends on search queries. This, in turn, affects the income and popularity of the page owner. Therefore, it is so important to know what people are looking for on the Internet more often. Let's try to understand this difficult matter.

      Guides

      Well, the first thing that can get into our statistics is a variety of guides and guides to computer games... It is difficult to judge which ones. True, there is one category that can somehow bring certainty to this issue. It's about "online".

      Guides, guides and accurate instructions for leveling heroes in online games are what many users are looking for on the Internet. Especially the younger generation, who literally grew up among computers and the World Wide Web. There is even a search for special program... You can search the Internet for anything, and it helps you find almost any information. What is the name of this application? "Personal Search Center". But let's see what else users are trying to discover in The world wide web.

      Answers on questions

      What are they looking for on the Internet? Statistics show that quite often many users ask search engines absurd questions that they want to find an answer to. Something like: "How to protect yourself from ghouls? Why do cows moo? How to become a mermaid?" etc.

      All this can be defined in one word - delirium. It is this category that usually constitutes the majority of search queries. Fortunately, not everything is as sad as it might seem at first glance. Quite often, users are also looking for answers to normal questions. In other words, they are waiting for advice and guidance from knowledgeable people.

      A variety of blogs where you can ask a thematic question are quite popular services. Especially if they are related to children's topics. Thus, you can ask for advice or read other people's instructions. But what other people are looking for on the Internet? Let's further understand this matter.

      Recipes

      Now it's worth thinking about what else we could forget. On the World Wide Web, as already mentioned, you can find anything. Including a variety of recipes. It is this category that attracts the majority of users. In particular, the female half of the population.

      There are a lot of housewives in Russia. What should they do at home, when the children are put to bed, the house is tidied up, everything is washed, but there is nothing to cook for dinner? There are simply no ideas. Of course, go to the Internet and see what you can cook up such a delicious thing. Preference is given to photorecipes, which are attached step-by-step instruction with a description of all possible "pitfalls".

      Not all that users are looking for on the Internet. There is another category of search that takes a huge share among all the others. Let's get to know her as soon as possible.

      Entertainment

      What have we completely forgotten about? Of course, about entertainment! It is them that many users want to find. If we add some specifics, then we will now talk about multimedia.

      The modern Internet is a sea of \u200b\u200bpossibilities. Here people try to download everything they can: games, movies, music, videos, and so on. Anything they don't want to pay for real life... Just such a free "profit" and everyone wants.

      Can you imagine the Internet, where you have to pay money for any video? Unlikely. Now imagine a situation in which we will have to pay for downloading absolutely all files. Perhaps then the meaning of the Internet will be lost. So, we can say that people are looking for on the World Wide Web what is not available to them in reality.

      If you decide to create a website on a specific topic and that is why you are interested in search engine statistics, then it is better to give preference to computer games, movies, recipes or guides. They are able to bring you quick popularity.

      Video reviews

      But there is another, relatively new category of search queries that is developing at an active pace. We are talking about various video reviews. In them, as a rule, people talk about different games and subjects.

      The most popular in these "guides" are computer toys. Probably all this is because there are so many of them. How to choose the right game for a fun evening? Just see what she is! If you look at the statistics, you will see that users prefer indie games, quests and cooperative applications. Thus, now you know the real leaders in search queries.
