Google's Tracking The Flu

Wednesday, November 12, 2008 by Jenni Edwards
Thought this was really cool and shows the power of search.

Google is now tracking the flu-bug by looking at relevant search terms and where they are coming from (fever, cough, etc.).  This is a project of Google.org --- because, well Google has too much money that they need to do something good, right?  You can check it out here:  http://www.google.org/flutrends/.

What terms are important to your business?  When people are sick, I would think that the drug companies of the world would want to show up on organic results?  Or maybe an all natural remedy?  By creating business blogs these companies could gain click throughs when people did have the flu and drive their own businesses!
