Most competitive two word search phrase for Google results?

Which two word phrase tops the list?

[vitaplease]

I have often wondered if I am doing well on search rankings for competitive search phrases. One way of looking at it (but certainly not the best - I know Wordtracker and Overture suggestion are better) is the number of search results Google lists.

Which search phrase would get the most search results within a Google search? (the number on the top right?) That is not counting what google sees as stopwords (the, a, and..)

Just a few:

new copyright ---- 7.150.000
copyright free --- 6.690.000
new free --------- 6.850.000
new page --------- 6.490.000
last updated ----- 6.390.000
advanced search -- 4.790.000
forum information - 4.360.000
tv news ----------- 4.100.000
search engine ----- 3.330.000

You see I get bored just after Google updates :)

[sfraga]

Happily enough, there are twice as many "love you"s as there are "love me"s

Anyone beat my "and the" quoted phrase or [you all] combo yet? Eh?

Google is cheating:(

There are to many results with nearly the same number of hits.

[DenRomano]

"There are to many results with nearly the same number of hits"

My thoughts also. They are hitting some kind of max somehow. I can see the max is not a given value but a max all the same.

http:// www.

172 000 000 ....not quite search "phrases" but definetely a sequence of letters put together with a space in between ;)

[msr986]

I said

-> 74,800,000 :)

[GoogleGuy]

Weird, it's like the exact opposite of googlewhacking. ;)

[lazerzubb]

MAN, remember the rules !!!
No stop words, or words that doesn't get included in the serp's. (if it appears grey text under the search box; MAKE ANOTHER SEARCH)

[msr986]

> I said

OK I was busted, "I" is a stop word :(

How about: can not

--> 8,440,000 :)

[brotherhood of LAN]

I seee google is #6 for http:// www.

shouldnt they be PR0'ing Yahoo etc and be #1? :)

and oops... just seen www is a grey un

[msr986]

all 2002

--> 8,870,000

Winner??? :)

[brotherhood of LAN]

yes, "all 2002" .....on www2 ;)

[sfraga]

Ok, beat this:

a s -- 419,000,000

(a, space, s)

[brotherhood of LAN]

ok i think ill skip a few bar conferences if a search phrase is http of a s, they aint words :)

but i guess (maybe even worthy of a new thread!!!) we could see who can get as close to the number of pages in google (i.e. 2 billion)

[vitaplease]

Remember there is a difference in Google's number of results in how "clean" you are searching !

can not - with no filters (preferences) 8.110
can not - with safe filter 8.080

Or in other words there are 30.000 pages in a specific un-safe category, listing that they explicitly "can not" do something ;)
