What is fascination with Britney Spears? Maybe it’s a train-wreck kind of thing. Once again she tops Yahoo’s list of overall searches for 2008, just like she did last year.
In fact, the entire list hardly changed at all. The term “WWE” was once again No. 2. All in all, six out of the top ten search terms remained the same. The only new entrants were “Barack Obama,” “Miley Cyrus,” “Angelina Jolie,” and “American Idol.” This list doesn’t really tell you much other than that people are obsessed with celebrities. I’ve bolded the repeats below:
- 1. Britney Spears
2. WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment)
3. Barack Obama
4. Miley Cyrus
5. RuneScape
6. Jessica Alba
7. Naruto
8. Lindsay Lohan
9. Angelina Jolie
10. American Idol
And for comparison, here is last year’s list:
- Britney Spears
- WWE
- Paris Hilton
- Naruto
- Beyonce
- Lindsay Lohan
- Rune Scape
- Fantasy Football
- Fergie
- Jessica Alba
Britney rules!
first!
So.. Barak Obama really IS the new Paris Hilton.
Am I the only one that said “What the hell is Naruto?”
It’s an Anime about ninjas. I only know that because I’ve got younger cousins and coach high school volleyball.
You kidding — if you are in the over-40 set, you probably missed 7 of 10. I did.
yeah,why is Britney Spears on the list again?Go figure!There needs to be a site specifically dedicated to showing the “top searches” of sites with value:sites like TechCrunch,EventOrb.com,JohnCow.com…you know sites that are list worthy rather than people that don’t add value to anyone’s lives!
I use Compete.com for lists like this. Their ranked lists tool is similar in ranking the top sites from month to month, and their search analytics tool is great in helping us figure out what people are searching for.
what the hell is Naruto?
where’s “Free Porn” ?
Looks like the list is only for SFW terms. I’m sure “p**n” must be the number 1 term on most engines.
naruto is this japanese anime cartoon series. i never understood the series either.
for this reason we just launched http://www.dishiness.com —
The movie Idiocracy comes to mind…
Just finished watching that not too long ago. Excellent piece of work by Mike Judge. I wonder if we’re going to officially establish a government-sanctioned research institute expressly for designing new drugs for prolonging erections and fighting receding hairlines, following the spirit of the movie.
You mean that Yahoo got the same 10 people using their search as they got the previous year. Guess those guys are just not going to use Google.
those are not the top searches, this is a scrubbed list. you would not want to know what the actual keywords people use.
this list, as google’s own, is edited by the editorial team. The top 10 (or 20) search queries are always related to sex/porn (or bittorrents)
yahoo is for idiots who don’t know what google is. and only idiots are obsessed with celebrities
You cretin, the google top 10 is the same.
Maturing web users?
Check out AOLs list: hot.aol.com/2008
Opps! She did it again. LOL @ the what the hell is naruto and where’s free porn comments.

BINGO!!!!!!! no apple, iphone topping!!!!!!
Britneys management have blatently bought her back into the market. The whole documentary that was filmed for the MTV awards, the fact that she won the award in the first place, its all secrets and lies. I wish that South Park episode would really happy…..haha….now that would be entertainment
They just had one about it not long ago. You know, the one where they sacrificed Britney?
i presume , yahoo is going to loose its position to others , and this will not take too much time as yahoo is not innovating as compared to google or other revolutions in the market , and this is for sure , if they will not innovate they will die.

They should list the most profitable keywords, ones that produce the highest CTR from the accompanied ads. My bet is on “XXX” and “porn”.
This just shows that most people are retarded.
What, Paris didn’t make the list!?
Use google trends to see the difference among three terms: britney spears, sex and porn. Sex is 20 times more frequent than the most popular celebrity Britney. Check it yourselves.

We all know these are not the true results. #1 #2, #3 have to all be porn and torrent related!
dsfg
Isn’t this just evidence that people who use Yahoo are retards?! Just about everyone I know uses Google and I’m pretty sure none of them have ever searched for any of those terms.

And here are the top search queries from Jerry Yang’s PC: http://www.tech...nt-telling-you/
i wonder how much she would make if she had a monetized site
9 out of the top 10 terms are entertainment related. Is this just a reflection of yahoo users or is entertainment recession proof ?
No. America is idiot proof.
I’m so surprised that WWE is on the list, i can’t never imagine how many people are so stumbled to WWE stuff compared to the past of few year.
GO RUNESCAPE
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RUNESCAPE>WOW.
It’s all lies! Here’s a funny take by a comic on the differences between the censored and uncensored versions of these top search term lists.
