NEW: Learn about the free project for Burlington restaurants and bars.
Apparently many Burlington area residents and visitors go online for ideas on where to eat. With new restaurants opening all the time, and competing for the same hungry Vermonters, Burlington eateries need to reach the population.
Getting The Statistics.
Google and MSN do not publish the number of time specific keywords and phrases were searched for, thankfully, though, Yahoo does (you can check for yourself here). So, by taking the number of searches for a phrase on Yahoo, and figuring in each search engines share of the Internet searches (published here) we can come to an educated estimate on the number of total searches for a word or phrase over all the search engines.
The Statistics.
So, here are the number of searches (on the big 3 engines) during November, 2006:
burlington restaurant - 14,725
south burlington restaurant - 884
restaurant burlington vermont - 483
burlington vt restaurant - 439
restaurant in burlington - 333
restaurant in burlington vt - 88
Are You Reaching These Patrons?
If you own a restaurant, do a search on Google, Yahoo and MSN and see where your site is in the results. In determining whether or not you are reaching these potential patrons (after all, they are searching for exactly what you offer) remember that if you aren't near the top, you probably are not getting much benefit out of your website. Most people scroll through the first few pages and do not go further. So if your site is listed on the sixth page of the search "burlington restaurant" then you are not likely to get the attention of those who search for that phrase.
