Google Instant and keyword length

One of the things I would track in Google Analytics/Yahoo! Web Analytics  following the Google Instant rollout  is the **number of words in your keywords **driving traffic to your site. It’s possible that **short **keywords will become more prevalent than **longtail **keywords.

Using regular expressions (regex) we can easily **segment **our data based on the number of words in the keyword. If you use Google Analytics, just click on the links below to import these segments into your account.

One Word Segment

Two Words Segment

Three Words Segment

Three or more Words Segment

Four or more Words Segment

Once you have done this you can apply these segments to your reports:
