Google Announces Fastest Growing Search Terms of 2007

The queries are below. It’s not clear how different these will be from the year-end Zeitgeist list. Last year Google described how they came up with the list: “we looked for those searches that were very popular in 2006 but were not as popular in 2005 — the explosive queries, the topics that everyone obsessed over. To come up with this list, we looked at several thousand of 2006’s most popular searches, and ranked them based on how much their popularity increased compared to 2005.” That sounds a lot like how this list would be compiled.

1. iphone
2. webkinz
3. tmz
4. transformers
5. youtube
6. club penguin
7. myspace
8. heroes
9. facebook
10. anna nicole smith

Goes well with Alexas top 100... People type domains into google cause they are too lazy to spell the whole thing out. The top domains will rank as the highest keywords.

Ya, I'm surprised at the number of "webkinz" searches though. They're getting bigger and bigger.

Sounds like more teens are using the net now.
*Yahoo sees more popularity with stars. By the way, Yahoo appears to have put up the list at almost the same time as Google.

It would be far more useful if they provided the list for last month's searches, not last year's.

Ya, but it gives you a new idea on what new niche sites to work on.
