What are the Top Keywords in Searched by Blogspot Readers

What are the top 10 searched keywords by blogspot readers? For your information, we’ve embedded the Google Search function in some of our Blogger Templates, by doing this, it allows us the ability to harvest the various keywords keyed in by Blogspot readers through out the world. Before I move on to the next topic, Google AdSense on the other hand has announced in their blog that an update on December 10th will affect your top queries reports, top queries data older than a year old will no longer be available.

Therefore we (geckoandfly.com) have decided to download the 2 years worth of data (keywords) and release it to the public. Below are some of the most searched keywords in Blogspot for the past 2 years, the total search for the top 26 keywords are 31,334, making up 2.96% out of 100%.

Keywords (Total Search) %

None (14,264) 1.35%
viagra (1,468) 0.14%
nero (1,035) 0.10%
radiohead (824) 0.08%
milena velba (799) 0.08% [Czech nude glamor model]
phentermine (789) 0.08% [Weight loss drug]
sexo (781) 0.07%
PheNTermine (780) 0.07%
videos (775) 0.07%
musica (700) 0.07%
muse (694) 0.07% [Web Application]
filmes (690) 0.07%
bjork (677) 0.06% [Music artist]
interpol (671) 0.06% [International Criminal Police Organization]
tropa de elite (633) 0.06% [Movie]
photoshop (631) 0.06%
linkin park (622) 0.06%
Phentermine (587) 0.06%
playboy (584) 0.06%
chloe vevrier (578) 0.06% [German model and porn star]
video (567) 0.05%
guia (554) 0.05%
chris brown (551) 0.05% [American hip hop/R&B singer]
examenes (548) 0.05% [Exam in Spanish]
234523 (532) 0.05%

It appears to me that most readers simply hit the submit button without typing anything in the search form, funny right? What amazed me is the consistency in most of the keywords, they are somehow related to sex, on the bright side, some keywords are considered safe. The funniest thing is, 234523 appears to be a Canadian Patents Database code for Turbine? What has that got to do with blogs?

Two years of compilation, these 26 keywords made up of 2.96% of the total search, with the diversification in term of readers geographically and blog topics, this could possibly be the most accurate top 26 keywords anyone ever released to the public.

Google Search Box Reduce CTR

April 30, 2007 · Filed Under Contextual Advertising · 6 Comments 

google adsense search box

I’ve been toying around with Google Adsense Search on my other blogs and concluded that by using Google Search, a blog’s Google Adsense CTR could be greatly reduced by 1%, I’ve done some experiment for the past few months between February and April, and the blog that I experimented on has a drop of in CTR for that month which translate into a drop of earning in term of dollars, for your information, traffic to my blog increases every month.

The CTR went back normal again when I remove the Google Search Box, my best guess would be the possiblity a visitor exit my blog by searching something with the Google Search Box, where else if there is no Google Search Box, the visitors are much more likely to exit my blog my clicking on one of the external links. I’ll re-introduce the Google Search Box again in my other blog and will see how it performance again this coming month, hopefully my theory is right.

Firefox Developer Slam Google

photo_sharing_google_search_dont_be_evil2.jpg

Blake Ross, a Firefox Developer argued that Google was wrong to include plugs for its Calendar, Blogger and Picasa at the top of search results for terms like ‘calendar’, ‘blogging’ or ‘photo sharing’.

According to him, Google’s search engine democratic structure allows those with the best software and services to reach the top of the results, which is what Google is known when other search engine like Yahoo and Altavista has their results omited for advertiser.

As Ross pointed out, many other Web companies also cross-promote their services. However, he argued that Google — with its motto of “Don’t be evil” — should hold itself to a higher standard.
