Top Keywords
What are the top keywords on the web - the ones that attract the greatest volume of searches? Knowing these keywords can be fun: who's the most popular, Paris or Britney? YouTube or MySpace? BBC or CNN?
But they also have a serious side. The most popular keywords give you clues to what's happening on the web and that extra bit of insight could give you the edge. You can track the zeitgeist with Wordtracker.
Wordtracker offers many lists of top keywords for free. Every week, we publish the top 100 keywords on the website and we email the top 500 keywords to those who register.
Subscribers get access to the top 1000 keywords and if you really want to dig deep into the most popular terms you can buy reports of the top 10,000, top 20,000 and top 100,000 keywords.
