 What People Search ForYou spent hours fine-tuning your pages to improve your search engine position. Did you make certain to misspell a few of those crucial words? The people searching certainly will. Misspellings, along with X-rated search requests, are common. Below, a glimpse at some of the searches the great Internet public is making.
Live Search Displays Excite Search Voyeur Displays a sample of recent searches. Page automatically refreshes every 30 seconds. Similar data to what was previously shown for the now-defunct WebCrawler Search Voyeur. Ask Jeeves Peek Through The Keyhole Shows top searches at this popular question answering search engine. MetaCrawler MetaSpy Choose to see either a filtered or non-filtered sample of top, real-time search terms from this popular meta search service. Search.com Snoop Shows recent searches on this popular metasearch service. Kanoodle Search Spy Live display of searches on this pay-for-placement search engine. Fireball LiveSuche Fireball is one of Germany's major search services. This page lets you see, in German, what people are searching for.

Top Keyword Lists & Keyword Databases Search Spotlight Lycos 50 Forget live search displays. Lycos has realized that all our searches can make for great content, if assembled correctly. The Lycos 50 shows top searches each week, plus glimpses at what's up-and-coming from the query logs, along with other features. Extremely well done -- make it a regular visit! Yahoo Buzz Index Shows you what's hot and what's not in terms of search topics at Yahoo. You can see both "Leaders," what's currently popular, and "Movers," what's rising in popularity. AltaVista A-List AltaVista offered a glimpse into what people were searching for at its service via the A-List. Unfortunately, the feature was discontinued in September 2000. GoTo.com Search Term Suggestion Tool This is easily the best and freshest way to research what people are searching for about specific topics. The link takes you to the GoTo.com "Frequently Asked Questions for Advertisers" area. Scroll down to point 11 of the "Managing Your Account" section and click on the "Search Term Suggestion Tool" link. A new window will open. Enter a term you wish to research, and you'll be shown how many searches were done for that term and other terms that include it, for the previous month. If the link fails to work (GoTo moves it around), then you may need to open an account to access the tool. It's $25 well spent, plus, you can spend that on advertising. Wordtracker Has both a live ticker showing the latest top 30 search terms plus offers a free weekly report showing the top 500 search terms along with 100 rising terms. Custom paid reports also available. Data comes from monitoring the various live search displays, described above. Disturbing Search Requests Designed to allow people to share the strange, unusual or disturbing ways that visitors came to their web sites via searches at search engines. Be aware that some of the examples shared may contain sexually-graphic terms.
