It wasn’t too long ago on September 28, 2009, that Google took Google Hot Trends down to 40.
That was what — 3 months ago?
Apparently that cut wasn’t enough because they made another one.
Just today, December 21, 2009, I just noticed…that the results are now down to 20 — so it looks like they are now mirroring the likes of Yahoo with their skimmed down skimpy version of hot keyword trends.
It appears the Big G cut down the results to 40 due to a new format of using the top the hot trends grids in Google.com search results. So if someone happens to search for one of the top 100 most searched terms, you will see a hot trends grid right within the results. They could have just as easily kept the top 100 AND include a grid within the results. Of course, they really didn’t really make it clear WHY they cut down the trends from 100 to 40, but that’s usual G fashion.
All this is great for the visitor (although I don’t think visitors were looking at the top 100 trends like us webmasters), but why does the visitor care about search trends on the topic?
Do you care?
