I notice a lot of people find my websites by typing in questions like "How to fix a fan, how to remove a cable, how to back up files, etc" rather then typing in topics like "computer repair, asian music, girls, boys, computer backup software".
A lot of the times the question searches are not really related to my posts, or the content on my posts won't provide them with a reasonable answer. I usually rank high for these searches because random words on my post match their question search best, and my site has fewer big competitors like Engadget, AOL, Gizmodo, Cnet, and CBS for the search terms.
It kind of makes me wonder who are these people who type in questions or even long paragraphs instead of topics since I rarely type in huge sentences like "what are the driving direction to the mc donalds on the east of main street in toronto canada which will take me to mcdonalds fastest by car?" since in my experience typing in huge questions tends to bring back not so useful results compared to searching for topics like toronto mcdonalds maps.
My best guest are some of these Google search users were former Askjeeves/ask.com searchers who mainly typed in questions, or they think search engines work better when you ask them questions rather then typing in topics or detailed titles.
They also might find the answer easier if they search for a forum just to join a active forum about their problem, and ask a question which might get answered in a day or less.
