It is interesting that the most popular keyword is a word that did not exist 15 years ago.
Most would have thought the most popular word would contain the word sex or love but keyword researchers found that the three most popular keywords are:
It’s ironic all 3 words did not exist a generation ago. Yet today they are the most searched, used and popular words on the internet.
Google has become a word of its own. It is replacing the word search. How often do we hear – why don’t you google it?
Although Yahoo’s search engine was older than that of Google, the word Yahoo never attained the prominence of Google and was unable to develop into a verb.
Ebay on the other hand has become synonymous to bargain buying and selling. If you are looking for a bargain, go to ebay. The fact that the word ebay is so popular indicates that people are constantly searching for things to buy or sell.
The internet is like a genie which has come out of the bottle and cannot be put back inside again.
Facebook and twitter are also becoming very popular keywords and could challenge and displace ebay, yahoo and even google, although this appears to be very unlikely.
Buzz is another potential keyword to watch. Google is trying to popularize it and if it succeeds, it might become a new verb.
Here’s a list of some of the most popular keywords
Amazon
Facebook
Games
Mapquest
Twitter
Youtube

Interesting post seems funny that in google the word google is the most searched kind of like looking in a mirror. I think that the keyword youtube is the next big mover because of the exploding popularity of videos online these days. Thanks for the post. Good work
