Wordtracker Tip for April 7
When was the last time you used Wordtracker's Top 1000 short term report as a quick check on the interests in the searching world?
The difference in the Top 1000 Long Term report and the Top 1000 short term report is that the Long Term examines popular keywords within the last 60 days, but the short term is generally reflecting interests within the last 24 hours.
The short term report can show direct relation responses to world events (particularly news). From time to time you may see some interesting items here, then if you are curious, you can go search in Google or Yahoo news, to find out what's happening.
EXAMPLE: A few days ago, it was no surprise to see the Pope's name in number 1 spot at news of his passing.
Today, you note that news anchor "Peter Jennings" name is in number 4 spot on the short term repot.
This is in reflection of Peter Jennings, at the end of his broadcast on Tuesday, told his audience about his diagnosis of Cancer.
Other observations in the short term report may reflect news of a new product being launched or some issue in the news.
For example, why are people searching for information on Marilyn Monroe in the last 24 hours. A quick check on Google news feeds reveals the headline that: Never before published photos of Marilyn Monroe have been discovered. About 100 previously unpublished photographs of the late actress Marilyn Monroe taken by a friend of 10 years will be showcased in London.
Give the Wordtracker Top 1000 (short term report) a try and see what interesting topics come up.
