arp eye on the trends. Interest in a new term or subject spotted on Google trends can mean quick bucks for a fast click farmer. Especially in those cases where there is not already much content related to a new subject of interest. All the click farmer has to do is assemble a couple of pages of relative text (read that as search terms) and get it indexed by Google, Yahoo, etc. This is the click farm equivalent of being “first to market”. A truly fortunate click farmer will find domain names for the subject are still available. This is web nirvana.

Let’s examine a case in point. Three of the hottest searches (as of the writing of this article) on Google are Cindy Sheehan, Riyo Mori, and Ra

Deep within the Google search engine, not commonly used by the average searcher, there is tool that has taken the internet domain/click-farmers to orgasmic heights of revelry. What is this fantabulous tool of the googlified (can I copyright that term?) generation? It is, of course, the Google Trend Analysis.

Google trend analysis offers a fascinating insight to the popular culture as it is right now. I don’t mean “now” as in this week nor the age in which we live. I mean “now” as in the existential zeitgeist of this very cultural second. Google displays for us a list of the top 100 search terms/subjects that we curious apes are pounding into our keyboards on any given day. If a term is being searched enough a handy little graph will pop up and show exactly when that term began to spike in popularity. Any relevant news stories will be detailed below the term. If John Q. Doe does something stupid to make the news at 11:25 a.m., by 1:30 p.m. Google Trends will show a cute little spike in people researching Mr. doe. As the public’s fickle interest wanes you can see the graph eventually drop back to zero. Never has there been a better tool to plot the fleetingness of any persons fifteen minutes.

Click farmers rejoice:

In case you haven’t noticed, there is very little real content on the internet anymore. Instead, you have thousands and thousands of web pages that disguise themselves as content sites in order to convince the webonaut (ie; you and I) to click on interesting advertisements or purchase tantalizing products. The purveyors of these sites (the click farmers) may be very good at disguising their websites to look like real companies, real portals and real content in general. The reality is that there is nothing there. For example, I threw together a google ad/ Amazon a-store page yesterday (it’s very basic) in order to practice what I address in this article. The site doesn’t have any actual unique content, but as web surfers click on the adverts or buy the linked products I rake in a small (very small) fee. The links are all Google adsense content and the products for sale are from merchants selling through Amazon. I did nothing but register a domain name and spend 20 minutes putting the site together. Professional click farmers, however, can make a living by assembling hundreds of click farms and rake in nice cash from them. Some of these websites are scores and scores of pages utilizing RSS news feeds for content, article feeds from free article websites, google ads and ad links, and product farms like Amazon or Shopping.com. They try to generate “stickiness” (ie, returning customers) by throwing in “community builders” like message boards or photo sharing.

This takes us back to Google trends. Savvy click farmers and domain registrants keep a sharp eye on the trends.

Let’s examine a case in point. Three of the hottest searches (as of the writing of this article) on Google are Cindy Sheehan, Riyo Mori, and Rachel Smith. Cindy Sheehan announced that she’s giving up the life of a professional protestor. Riyo Mori just won the Miss Universe pageant. Rachel Smith (Miss USA) slipped and fell during the Miss Universe competition. By throwing together a dummy site or two that mentions these three people a fast click farmer could attract the attention of the search engines. Sad, isn’t it? And that’s what the web has become. Nothing more. So, keep your eye on Google Trends. You may be amazed at how quickly search terms there become content elsewhere.
