The Beatles are Not Bigger Than Jesus, But Something Is

The new Google Trends product is getting lots of talk, but it took Google themselves to put it to the important use of proving that:

  • More people want sex than jesus
  • More people want jesus than Mel Gibson
  • Paris Hilton was bigger than jesus, briefly
  • The Beatles are not bigger than jesus, at least in 2006 (if only they had data from 1963...)

Search Engine RoundTable gives a good overview of how this tool can be used by online marketers.

Bonus: Don't miss the related research from Andrew Sullivan
