What Does Qwe Stand For?

Updated on May 27, 2012

Just the other day, I went to the Google Adwords Keyword Tool and keyed in "qwe" as the keyword to search for. My intention was to simply get pass the security checker, after which I will enter in the proper keyword. Surprising, my search for qwe actually yielded some results. On closer examination, there were about 60,500 searches for qwe each month and the average cost per click was $3.05.

I was intrigued. Who would have thought people actually searched for qwe, and that an advertiser would pay good money for clicks from searches for qwe.

As it turns out, qwe is not just a random string of characters that you type into the keyboard. A search on Google turns out 1,790,000 results! For those of you who wants to know what in the world does qwe stand for, I have compiled a short list of the possible meanings.

Conclusion
I'd bet that you would never have guessed that qwe can yield so many meanings, did you? I had fun, and I hope you did. Next time, maybe I'd try asd and see what I can come up with.
