Birth of a Buzzword: News On GoogleBowling
(rt) It’s not every day that you can follow the birth of a new buzzword and how it gradually begins to make out on the search engines in realtime – actually, this is any linguist’s dream.
Regular readers of fantomNews will recall our first reporting on the term GoogleBowling being flaunted on Threadwatch’s thread → “Current Thinkng (sic) on Linking for Google“ (full kudos go to Terry of → Superaff.com – Affiliate Marketing Gab for creating this nifty phrase) in this article of ours: ↗ GoogleBowling – the Latest In Black Art SEO?
A large part of blogging is about follow up and this thread was no exception. In → GoogleBowling - The Nasty Business of Link Sabotage kpaul of → Mallasch MetaBlog / Magazine reports regularly on current Google results for the term.
Also, make sure you take note of graywolf explaining the mechanics of GoogleBowling in detail here: → GoogleBowling (nice graphic, too).
For SEO research purposes you can follow the search engine exposure development of the term on Google, MSN and Yahoo! here: → Trendmap for googlebowling and Trendmapper even offers an → RSS alert stream – this in itself being both a linguist’s and an SEO’s dream combined.
Individual current GoogleBowling SERPs are here:
* → Google results for “googlebowling”
* → MSN results for “googlebowling”
* → Yahoo! results for “googlebowling” (Comprehensive, non-clustered results)
And in case you’re nurturing the suspicion that far too many SEO bloggers seem to have far too much time on their hands, idling away their day following nerdy, frivolous search results, here’s → Terry’s say on the matter, and we certainly couldn’t agree more:
So what’s the big deal about tracking all these results? It’s interesting to watch the timeline of the various engine listings, what pages are listed where and the difference in SERPs between all three engines. It’s a sort of ‘experiment’ I guess, an opportunity to watch a new term work it’s way into the rankings. The term GoogleBowling wasn’t in the SERPs on any engine just one month ago so it’s a great chance to watch and observe how the engines deal with it.
Maybe reveal a secret or two.
