Part of what I do on a daily basis is keep track of what people are Googling. I always find the mixture of hot topics interesting and usually amusing, and I’ve always kind of wanted to write a “Google Trends roundup” type thing. So instead of writing a whole bunch about one popular topic, I’ll just write a little bit about a few topics and see how people like it. I would very much appreciate comments with your feedback.

I’m sad to report that “military payday loans” and “no fax loans” never appear among the most popular search terms, otherwise I’d probably make more money. The most popular topic on the Internet today, by far, is Obama’s school speech. The most-searched term at the moment is “Obama school speech video,” which I happen to have right here for your viewing pleasure:

Elisabetta Canalis photos

Whenever the president gives a big speech, it’s always very popular on Google. Otherwise, there are sometimes political search terms that sporadically pop up here and there. One thing you can always — always — count on, though, is that people will be looking for pictures of women.

Specifically, people will search for pictures of the newest, hottest, most scantily clad female celebrity who is a celebrity specifically because she is hot and scantily clad in photos. Today, Elisabetta Canalis photos are right up there with Obama’s school speech as far as popularity goes. Elisabetta Canalis was a D or maybe E list celebrity until she started dating George Clooney. For Elisabetta Canalis photos, you’ll have to go elsewhere. Hey, I recognized that people are always searching for scantily clad ladies. That doesn’t mean I have to aid them.

AP Poll college football

Season opening games are fresh in the minds of college football fans, and everyone is checking out the AP Poll college football rankings to see how their teams fared in the eyes of the professional sports analyzers.

Sports are always all over the popular search terms list, so this is no surprise. I always imagined that if I started a blog called “Celebrities, death and sports” or something along those lines, it’d be very popular. Want to see how your team did on the AP Poll college football rankings? I can do better than that ESPN College Football has the AP, USA Today and ESPN polls.

King brothers Wiki

Sometimes even we mere mortals can confuse and befuddle the Great Google Robot. A popular search term right now is “King brothers wiki,” which will lead you right to Wikipedia entries about The King Brothers, a popular ’50s Brit pop trio as well as a modern-day American rock duo.

Of course, people are actually searching for the King brothers who were featured on Dateline last night. The 21 and 22-year-old boys killed their father when they were 12 and 13 years old. At the time, they were the youngest suspects ever to be tried for murder as adults. Get details and a video on the King brothers on Good Morning America at The Huffington Post.
