May search term biggest movers are here! What terms drove the greatest monthly query volume spike? Let’s take a look at the fastest growing (and declining) terms since last month to get a better idea of the trend in consumer search interest.
Findings:
- Rumors have surfaced around the divorce of Jon and Kate Plus 8 parents Jon and Kate Gosselin
- Photos of the car crash that killed Nikki Catsouras on Halloween 2006 continue to plague her family
- Kris Allen is crowned the winner of American Idol Season 8!
- In preparation for Mothers Day, loving children were looking for poems and flowers for mom
Findings:
- As we get further from the most feared day of the year (Tax Day - April 15th), searches for the IRS and tax related software continue a steep decline
- Susan Boyle wowed watchers of Britains Got Talent, but she lost her second in the spotlight
- While fear of the swine flu hasn’t subsided, it’s started to take a back seat in terms of search incidence

The Gosselins topping the charts while Susan Boyle tanks shows that people are more interested in disasters than stories of hope. But then, Susan Boyle’s meltdown should put her in teh disaster category for next month’s stats. :)

It’s sad their marriage has come to this. I’m a divorced dad, so I know the pain they are enduring. Jon and Kate have no idea what divorced parenting is like. They’ll have a ton of single parent, coparenting, and multi-home issues to deal with, not the least of which is how to spend birthdays (8!) and holidays together: http://dadshouseblog.com/2009/05/28/jon-and-kate-divorce-future/
