Search Engines

You how some people can drive traffic to their blogs and such? They make certain to speak of certain very popular topics that appear in the top rungs of search engines. It's easy enough to locate these things, especially if oyu pop into Yahoo. They kindly place topics like Ken Griffey Jr. and Bernie Kosar right at the top of the lists of things trending now. Even weird stuff like dufnering and lobster shell disease shows up pretty near the top of things that people are currently searching for.

These lists of items really help to place your finger on the pulse of what people are talking about the most right now. What's on TV? Why, Breaking Bad, of course. Movies? Elysium is right there at number nine. People are even still searching for info on that Fukushima disaster along with weird stuff like Clown Obama Missouri, India aircraft carrier, and for some reason, a 1912 eighth grade exam. makes me wonder if some of this stuff isn't just a plant to make people search for stuff, like when people searched for cat videos and Mitt Romney eating hot dogs (hint: they liked to photoshop them).

Time was, people would search for Paris Hilton and Justin Bieber, but I imagine those only come up when new stuff of their comes out, though the Hilton deal was more about the sex tape than anything else which is why Pamela Anderson tended to crop up in people's search results as well. Of course, digging deeper will find you Erwin Schrödinger and the cat he never had, Katy Perry, AMC, and Usain Bolt as some of the top searches along with the Teen Choice Awards, hannah Anderson, and a meteor shower.

I hope you've enjoyed this shameless search term plugging post, and hey, maybe I'll do another one soon that's just as uninformative and shameless.
