A few days ago I listed the Top 10 Yahoo searches for 2009. Bing just released their list for 2009 and surprisingly the lists are totally different except for “Michael Jackson” who was #1 on both lists. How can two major search engines be that far apart? I’ll let you know why in a few days!
Here are the Top 10 Bing Searches for 2009:
1. Michael Jackson (he was #1 on the Yahoo last as well)
2. Twitter (hot! hot! hot!)
3. Swine Flu (did YOU get your shot yet?)
4. Stock Market (this is a pretty lame search “key phrase”)
5. Farrah Fawcett
6. Patrick Swayze
7. Cash for Clunkers
8. Jon and Kate Gosselin (do I really need to say anything???)
9. Billy Mays (famous late night TV pitchman who passed away in June)
10. Jaycee Dugard (this is the young girl kidnapped in 1991 in California and finally found in August of this year)
I haven’t visited your blog in ages, but really enjoyed this post! Makes a welcome change from the usual stuff I’ve been RSS’ing lately. Can I ask where you got the idea to write about this?
