A deep dive into digital marketing

Google Trends being pimped or is it for real?

Posted by Chris under Google, Search Engines

Yesterday TechCrunch reported how Google Trends was being being “attacked” by apparent spammers. This in a bid to temporarily raise a search term to the forefront of being a hot trend.

Interestingly the comments following the article called attendtion to the search terms actually being legitimate. So while shit pond and missing money may seem like useless terms that a spammer is having fun with, turns out they are legit.

I guess there’s no telling good taste or more importantly Google Trends really does show you what people are searching for!
