It is estimated that as much as 80% of internet users nowadays access search engines because of a particular reason. When you consider more specific keywords, maybe 4 or 5, the chances that a particular visitor would buy a product related to the keyword being search is greater. General keywords, with 1 or 2 words only, have a greater number of competing pages and if you are optimizing for your site, you might be diluted in the list.
