Keyword with the Most Google Hits
Filed Under Blog, Internet, Sites
Inspired by a post I found on Digg stating that the search term “a” had the most google results the author was able to find on Google, I did a little research. And I found a keyword with far more hits.
I searched for “www and tipped the scales with 25,270,000,000 results. Good lord! Several other words or phrases scored very high, and to be honest a couple I expected to be among the highest were nowhere NEAR any of the numbers brought up by a few of these.
Everyone knows Craig’s List, the Internet equivilent of the classifieds. Well, while looking for a new place (specifically, looking to move to Boston, without knowing the city well), Erik and I found a great site called Housing Maps, which is a combo of GoogleMaps and Craig’s List’s housing section. Basically, it searches the housing ads on Craigslist and maps them on a google maps in relation to eachother. Awesome!
However, we didn’t remember to bookmark it (doh!) and when Ian called a few minutes ago asking about it (he’s looking for a place in Vancouver) I couldn’t remember the site name… some creative usage of Google and a 5 minute phone call later, we found the link and now I’m sharing it with you all.
Definately worth bookmarking!
