The 50 most popular searches in the last 48 hours compared to the 50 most popular searches in the last 6 months
Here we take a (sanitised) look at what people are searching for on the internet and review the 50 most popular searches in the last 48 hours, compared with the 50 most popular searches over the last 6 months.
Sex, as we’ve previously mentioned, does tend to rather dominate popular searches. Stripping out, if that’s the right word, adult, dubious, offensive, dodgy and, shall we say ‘non-family’ search phrases and keywords, we arrive at this list of the most popular searches on the internet, albeit somewhat santised.
It is, nevertheless, interesting to see just what people are looking for. Star signs are obviously very popular with searchers, as are some websites with, what you would expect to be, fairly memorable URL’s. It all goes to show just how all encompassing the search engine now is and the importance of having your brand, organisation or message correctly represented within them and by them.
Here’s the 50 most popular recent searches:-
