Does Google ignore common words?

[TahuluLimia]

Our website is optimized for "mock web services" and "web service mocks," but Google Webmaster doesn't recognize "web services" (or its variations) as a Content Keyword despite them being present on the site. Is Google intentionally ignoring common words like "web" in keyword analysis?

This situation suggests a more nuanced approach is needed for ranking these terms.

Google's keyword analysis has evolved beyond simple keyword matching. Focus on optimizing content relevance, user experience, and authority. Explore long-tail keywords like "mock web service creation" or "API mocking tools" for better visibility.
