[user-7256]

Now that 2005 is nearly to a close, Google has compiled a list of the most popular search terms and keywords:

This could be useful information when regging domains. Yeah, some of this is pretty obvious but you may find some of it useful.

Cheers,

Thanks for that list of words. I might be researching and buying a few names thanks to that list

Yahoo has done the same thing. Their list is available from their main page.

Eh, the Yahoo! Buzz... but I always trusted Google more.... :p Just preference I guess.

I like comparing both lists and seeing which keywords appear on both lists ( gotta believe 2 "heads" are better than one, eh? )

That might not be as effective really, BrowseHosts. People might switch from one search engine to another until they get adequate results.

Is anyone else surprised by the famous people's names being the most popular searches? I thought it would just be poker, gambling, vegas, casino...:P

Google's charts and stuff this year are quite neat.
