Internet users who type two words for a search engine query account for 31.9 percent of searches worldwide. Three-word phrases are used for 27 percent of searches. A single word accounts for 15.2 percent of queries, and four words are used for 14.8 percent of searches.

This proves that internet users are looking for more targeted yet simplistic searches. Webmasters or SEO experts should realise that two keywords are more competitive and probably more vague than three keywords. After analysing the above statistics it is safe to say that yes, two keywords are more popular but having top rankings for three keywords will result in increased targeted traffic and a better leads to sales conversion. Because there is a only small difference between two and three keyword popularity, I would concentrate on targeting the internet users who are typing in three keywords.
