Most search engines do not consider extremely common words in order to speed up search results or to save disk space. These filtered words are known as "Stop Words". For example as, ‘of ‘ , ‘or’, ‘the’ etc.

If you are an SEO freak, you definitely may have come across the term stop words. And you may also have heard that stop words are harmful, especially when you're optimizing your blog post for Google.

So WHAT ARE STOP WORD ? : What's their role in SEO? Are they really harmful? These are the exact questions, which I'm going to answer in this blog post.

What are Stop words and How Google Treats Them?
Stop words are some words, which are partially or completely ignored by search engines.Words like, the, an, a, of, or, many, etc. Constitutes about 25% of the blog posts around the web. They have nothing to do with the content. Search engines, in both search queries and in results, often ignore them.

Search engines do maintain a list of Google stop words - (Credits: Ranks.nl: Stopwords) that are ignored or filtered out.

Why search engines including Google ignore stop words?
They often cause many problems to search engines like ambiguity, server load problems, etc. It also helps search engines deliver instant results. If these words have nothing to do with the retrieval of the results, then it does make sense to filter out stop words from search queries and results.

For example,
If a blog post @ example.com/stop-words is ranking for the keyword, “what is meant by stop word” then it would also rank for “what is stop word” as you might expect. The stop word here is “is meant by”. Search engines, save a lot of time by ignoring these beautifying stop words.
