Folks prepare for my shortest post on my personal
blog yet.
On Tuesday May 7th 2013, the YouTube Trends Map
made its debut and made it easy to see what’s trending on YouTube as stated in
my blog
article entitled “YouTube's
now clocking 1 billion Unique visitors per month - How to see who's watching
YouTube Videos as they go Star Trek Into the Darkness in VOD Territory”.
Then on Saturday May 22nd 2013, Google’s revamped
Google
Trends with a helpful Zeitgeist-esque tool
called Google
Top Charts for us Bloggers and
people want to see what the Top Searches in different categories for previous
months as stated in “Google
'Top Charts' Detail Hot Search Topics”,
published May 22, 2013 05:01pm EST By Stephanie Mlot, PCWorld.
Google
Top Charts goes as far back to
the very beginning of Google
Search as noted in “Google
Top Charts show world's Searches for Whiskey”,
more, published May 22, 2013 9:35 AM PDT by Eric Mack, CNET News.
Google also launched a Full
screen Visualization of Trends across the Globe
that also another helpful tool for blogger as explained in “Google
Adds Monthly Top Charts To Google Trends, And A Beautiful New Search Trend
Visualizer”, published Wednesday,
May 22nd, 2013 by Darrell Etherington, TechCrunch.
All of this Data of course, is pulled from Google
Knowledge Graph, a rough equivalent of Facebook’s Open Graph and its
implementation as Graph Search as explained in my Geezam blog
article entitled “Facebook
to introduce #Hashtags with emoticons, monetizing FB and making Open Graph
Search Practical”.
The idea is that Google Search
terms are related to real life things people using Google Search
care about and are trying to find. Thus Google Top Charts
is really a compilation of Categories of thing people search for. Currently
there are roughly forty (40) Categories in Google Top Charts
with the top ten items being searched changing from month to month. No doubt
Google’s set to expand that list with more Categories.
It’s really like a Monthly version of Google’s
Yearly Zeitgeist or Top 10 Recommendation List in various categories of what
people search for on Google and eventually satisfied what they were originally
seeking. Their Press Release on Google's Official Blog
explains how this Monthly Zeitgeist works as stated in “Top
Charts in Google Trends—The most searched people, places and things”,
posted Wednesday, May 22, 2013. Google's
Official Blog.
My prediction is that this may become an eventual
stand alone service separate and apart from
Google
Trends or even Google Search,
categorizing the Vast Internet into neatly cataloged categories of Top 10 “Best
of the Best” List of things you desire to obtain. The list is easy to use with
the much searched for items bring broken down into Categories based on
Geography and Time going as far back as 2001. Arrow on the lists also indicates
if the popularity of the Item has tended up or down since the previous month’s
listing.
Bloggers, Researchers into Social Trends and
Advertisers are sure to benefit. I say bloggers, as we like to write about
what’s trending in order to drive traffic to our Blogs. The more Traffic the
better and the best way, hands down, is by writing and posting articles about
what people on the Web are querying on Google Search.
Google
Top Charts makes knowing what to
write about that much easier.
It’s a lot better than watching your Administrator
account or looking for the Most Searched Terms in Blogger.
It actually makes blogging a more precise Science, instead of a hit-and-miss
experience of writing an article and hoping that you readers will like it. This
is especially helpful if you’re not a Celebrity with superstardom and fans
poring everything you post on Twitter, Facebook or other Social Networks.
This along with my tips on writing less painlessly
for your personal blog by using Keyboard shortcuts as laid out in my Geezam blog
article entitled “How
to use Windows Shortcuts to be a more proficient Writer”
should make the first-time blogger foray into Writing a lot less hazardous and
toxic.
After all, what better recommendation for items you
are looking for in the physical world is there than the common communal
knowledge of fellow Googlers who have categorized Search patterns and trends
since Google’s inception?
But best of all, Google Top Charts
is a simplification of Google Trends,
making it not only easier to find the trends you wish to see but also what was
relevant to people at certain time of different years in the past. This service
I time may become a Separate Search Engine from Google Search.
This little known gem is yet another arrow in the
Quiver of Bloggers the world over as it relates to writing articles that
generate traffic and thus can be monetized via advertising, making your blog
stand out like Percy Jack: Sea of
Monsters (2013).
