Saira and Nifflas on google...
« on: December 11, 2009, 22:57:42 »
Hmm.. I thought it would be interesting to take note of the amount of results on google when searching for:

"Saira Nifflas" (without quotations)

Currently I get 539 hits. I wonder what it'll be like tomorrow or Sunday.
Will keep an eye on Google trends too. Would be awesome to see it peek like "died in a blogging accident" did because of xkcd.com. I don't want it to decline in the same way, though.

Hopefully Saira will catch up to somewhere near these graphs.
http://www.google.com/trends?q=knytt%2C+knytt+stories&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all&sort=0
Pretty interesting actually, Czech Republic is the second most active in searching for the keyword "knytt".
Guess it's pretty natural that "knytt" would do better than "knytt stories" since people tend to just search for "knytt" when seeking "knytt stories".. i guess.. at least i would.

As saira is a much more "common" word than "knytt" I guess it'll be hard to estimate the search accumulations. But... let's keep track anyway.  :D

Saira Nifflas - 578
Nifflas Saira - 467
Saira Game - 166 000


Knytt - 248 000
Knytt Stories - 32 800
Don't eat the mushroom - 5 760 000  (!)

Nicalis - 223 000

Nicklas Nygren - 28 100






And, hehe, hehe,

Saira - 350 000                                                              + 10 000
Nifflas - 133 000                                                            +  3000
Saira Nifflas - 1 160                                                        + 582
Nifflas Saira - 927                                                           + 460
Saira Game - 167 000                                                    + 1000

Knytt - 618 000 (WTF?)                                                  + 270 000
Knytt Stories - 32 800                                                     +-0
Don't eat  the mushroom - 5 820 000                             + 60 000 

Nicalis - 223 000                                                             +-0
                                     
Nicklas Nygren - 28 300                                                  + 200


And those are the results of actually "searching" the word,
not just looking at it's estimated hit value in the Google drop-down menu.
Not really science, this, but amusing.
To make it science we would need tons of data and many reference words that are unrelated to Saira.
