Google’s One-Minute Guide to Search-Based Keywords

Posted on January 2, 2010 by admin

Google has put together a one-minute guide to using its Search-based Keyword tool. The tool was launched just over a year ago in beta. It lets paid search advertisers see what keywords they may be missing out on based on searches on their site. "Millions of people use Google each day to find products and services by searching on various keywords," says Dan Friedman of Google's Inside AdWords Crew. "This means that by including all keywords that are relevant to your product or service in your campaigns, you can ensure you can ensure that you will reach a greater set of potential customers. To help you do this, you can use the Search-based Keyword Tool to quickly identify relevant keywords which aren't yet included in your AdWords campaigns." The guide follows: Earlier this year, Google made some improvements to the search-based keyword tool. The company not only expanded the reach to Australia, Canada, China, Japan, and New Zealand in addition to the US and the UK, but users can also now select the currency they'd like to see suggested bids in on the setting page. Google also added some customization features to the tool this year that could lead to more targeted results for users. These include language/country-specific results and ad/search share filters.

Jonas Brothers 3. Tiger Woods 4. Michael Jackson 5. Halloween / costume 6. iPhone 7. Adam Lambert 8. Kanye West / RIP Kanye West 9. Iran election 10. Miley Cyrus "In 2009 posting pictures and videos to sites like Facebook and Twitter became standard practice for the tech savvy," a YFrog representative tells WebProNews.

The Most Searched For Terms of 2009

Posted on December 16, 2009 by cgseo

Experian Hitwise announced that it has found Facebook to be the top search term overall for the year 2009 after analyzing the top 300 search terms for the year. This is the first year Facebook has been the top search term, and it accounted for 0.67% of all searches, according to the research firm. Variations of the term Facebook actually accounted for four of the top twenty-five terms, the firm says. "Facebook" itself moved up from the 10th spot in 2008 to the top spot in 2009. Although MySpace has taken a lot of flack in recent memory, as Facebook has gained popularity, MySpace was still the second most-searched term in 2009, according to Experian Hitwise. It had been the top term for the previous three years. Following MySpace on the list was Craigslist, YouTube, and Yahoo Mail. "Analysis of the search terms reveals that social networking–related terms dominated the results, accounting for 2.48 percent of the top 300 searches," a representative for Experian Hitwise tells WebProNews.

What People Talked About on Twitter Most in 2009

Posted on December 16, 2009 by admin

Twitter has broken down the top ten trending topics of 2009 for a variety of categories: news events, people, movies, tv shows, sports, and technology, as well as the top ten hashtags used. "Since it's the end of the year, we thought it would be interesting to review the topics and issues that captured global attention over the year," says Twitter Chief Scientist Abdur Chowdhury. "In 2009, Twitter’s Trending Topics helped us understand what was happening around the world showing us that people everywhere can be united in concern around important events; excited about a new movie; or geek-out about a major new technology." The following chart shows all of the top ten lists: "Among all the keywords, hashtags, and phrases that proliferated throughout the year, one topic surfaced repeatedly," notes Chowdhury. "Twitter users found the Iranian elections the most engaging topic of the year." The terms #iranelection, Iran and Tehran were all in the top-21 of Trending Topics, and #iranelection finished in a close second behind the regular weekly favorite #musicmonday." As Twitter has carved its way into pop culture over the past year more than ever before, the trending topics highlight the collective interests of pop culture in general. The way that Twitter has broken these lists down into categories highlights these interests even further. If you want to be good at future editions of Trivial Pursuit, perhaps you should be following Twitter closely. Continue reading →
