Tracking the word Googlezon

If you read the post entitled An example of resonance, you know that the little movie described in that post created the word "Googlezon". Once this word was created, people started to use it and it began to show up in Google. If you now look up the word "Googlezon", Google will tell you how many pages in its index contain that word.

Google Search: googlezon

When I look it up today, Google says (near the top right corner of the results page):

Results 1-10 of about 17,400 for googlezon.

Last week when I checked it, there were about 16,000 results, so this word is currently growing in the Google index. More and more people are talking about it, so its presence in Google expands.

One reason for creating a new, unique word to describe your website is that it makes tracking the growth of your web site easier in Google. Googlezon had never been used before, so it is easy to see its expansion in Google.

Over the next several weeks, check the word "Googlezon" periodically and see how it grows or shrinks in the Google index. You might also try other words like "Star Wars" (in quotes) (the reading today is 31,300,000), "Britney Spears" (in quotes) (current reading is 4,960,000), your own name, etc. -- try any word or phrase that you are interested in really. Use a spreadsheet or piece of paper to track the changes week-to-week. It is a very good way to see how ideas are rising and falling in the public consciousness.
