Yahoo! Buzz Popular Searches
According to a DigitalPoint thread titled New Feature From Yahoo Search, Yahoo is incorporating a new feature named Buzz Popular Searches into their search. When you do a search for anything, you will notice a little box in the upper right corner. It will constantly refresh with most popular searches ranked from 1 to 12.
It looks like one of those tests and currently works in all major browsers. For me, it is working on Internet Explorer and FireFox.
RustyBrick pointed out on his blog Search Engine Roundtable that
The Yahoo! Buzz Index “is the percentage of Yahoo! users searching for that subject on a given day, multiplied by a constant to make the number easier to read.” But what does the listed searches in the buzz index have to do with my search query on “yahoo?” I have no idea!
I sure hope this new feature will help SEOs in keyword research and analysis.
