Feb 07 Top Searches

by MaxPower

Yahoo does this thing every month and puts out the top searches for different countries. They combine "similar" searches to yield the total (i.e. all "NHL" searches were for hockey teams, scores, etc)

Here they are for Canada:

Top 20 Searches: February 2007
1. Anna Nicole Smith
2. NHL
3. Runescape
4. Britney Spears
5. Weather
6. NASCAR
7. Oprah
8. Grey's Anatomy
9. American Idol
10. Revenue Canada
11. Antonella Barba
12. Fantasy Hockey
13. Perez Hilton
14. Neopets
15. Passport Canada
16. People Magazine
17. NBA
18. Deal or No Deal Canada
19. TMZ
20. Days of Our Lives

Comments? I'm personally surprised NASCAR placed so high - possibly because of the Daytona 500 during February and also there was that cheating scandal around the same time. But maybe Canadians are a bunch of closet NASCAR watchers as I can count on one hand the number of people who admit watching it. Big props to Revenue Canada for being up there in between American Idol and erstwhile American Idol 'Girl Gone Wild' Antonella Barba.

Upon further thought, I think this list is a better reflection of Yahoo users than Canadians in general. Honestly, who uses Yahoo to search for anything?
