Exploit Google Zeitgeist- Enormous End of Year Challenge

Posted by Pixelhead

Several weeks ago, after hearing about the 2010 Google Zeitgeist list, I did the blog post Google Zeitgeist 2010 – Food and Drink Category on Thegrubhound, my restaurant review/foodie marketing blog. Upon checking out the Google Zeitgeist list again, I realized there is a huge potential to earn some end of year revenue..for both you and me.

What is the Enormous End of Year Challenge?

My challenge to you is to check out the Google Zeitgeist list and see what keyword rich blog post you can come up with that an advertiser would love to sponsor or purchase at least 1 keyword rich text link.

I already did a post on Thegrubhound, although I did not actively seek out advertisers yet. I am however thinking about doing a post about “Dubai Tours” which is the number 10 most searched word in the Fastest Rising Translations category of the Zeitgeist list. The reason I am choosing the phrase “Dubai Tours” is because, I had an inquiry about doing SEO for a Dubai travel site, so I am considering this contact to be a warm lead for potential advertising opportunities.

Potential Dubai Tours Blog Posts

So a Dubai Tours blog post is forthcoming on AllTravelSites.com. What will my blog post on Dubai Tours consist of since I have never been to Dubai?

A Dubai Tours Video like the one I did here.
a list of the top Dubai Tour websites.
a list of the top Dubai Lodging websites.
a list of the top Dubai activities
Where to eat in Dubai?
A list of some Dubai blogs such as Baby Loves to Travel and the DubaiLife Blog.

Well as you can see from my Dubai Tours blog post notes, writing a keyword rich blog post that focuses on one of the Google Zeitgeist search terms, should not be that difficult.

Do I want to Write a Google Zeitgeist Blog Post?

I wrote a similar Google Top Keywords post back in 2007 on Club Penguin and Webkinz. That post still gets about 10 hits a day..after 3 years that is a still a steady flow of traffic. So yes, if you don’t want any of the traffic to your site that a Google Zeitgeist blog post would provide, then don’t take up my Google Zeitgeist Challenge.

So What is the title of your Google Zeitgeist Challenge post going to be?

Google Trends is a very handy tool which lets us tap into Google’s database of searches and allows us to chart what has been popular over a period of time. I am more curious about this challenge. I’ll look more into this.

I use Google Trends. It’s a great tool to use. You can check local keywords.

I try my best to stay on top of this stuff. As the year comes to a close, you often see a ton of stuff in regards to internet marketing that you could have done differently, but hind sight is always 20-20. To me this is kind of like the re-birth of link bait…in which i am more than happy to oblige!

They know they came out with year end lists. I just thought they we’re updating the list every week throughout the year. Must admit that Google Trends is great for short term prediction.

The top 10 fastest rising list on Zeitgeist has facebook and twitter on there…should be a stark warning to Google.

You are right Natalie but I am sure Google is completely aware of Facebook and Twitter.

Wow what a great stuff you have given……
Google is not smart but it’s smarter so he is very well aware of his competitor rising in the market.

I thought Zeitgeist was a movie, or something like that, didn’t know Google had one of these..

From what I heard zeitgeist was some type of conspiracy theory type of thing. A friend of mine who is into those things argued with me all day once I showed him this site.

I came to know about Google Zeitgeist only when I started blogging. And now I stumbled upon your article. Must say that the internet is a resourceful place full of unexpored possibilities, and surely Google is the caretaker here.

That is a great tip and something I will be looking into to leverage some extra hits to my sites. Another bit of google armour!

They know it is released at the end of the year lists. I just thought we should update the list every week throughout the year. I must admit that Google Trends is a good short-term forecast.
