Thread Name: BS: Who googles for sex?
Subject: RE: BS: Who googles for sex?
Having nothing useful to do the evening, I tried a Google for "Google" to refresh my memory about all the "options" and special searches available. The first half-dozen pages of returns might be of interest to those who haven't looked recently, although it sort of poops out if you go much further than that.
Google "Google" can be left as an exercise for the interested - or to those like myself with no real life and nothing to do.
It was noted, however, that the site linked by Wolfgang - "Google Trends" - didn't come up in my search.
Having "re-found" this thread, and checked out the link once again, I think the thread should have an additional round using the "compare" feature for "trends."
If two keywords are entered, separated by commas, a comparison of the two searches results.
As a trite example, I'll offer Sex, Money where we find people search a lot more about Sex, but news media (lower curves) talk little about it, while relatively few people actually search for Money, but the media reports much more about it than about what actually interests people.
Or am I misinterpreting the result?
I'll leave it to others to find some better comparisons, if anyone cares.
