Most searched for terms

Google Press Center - Zeitgeist is the website for you. Right this very minute - 10 pm MST March 4th, it says the #1 searched term on Google is: "don t you forget about me". I can only guess this must be a song title or something similar.

There are links there to find out what the most searched terms were for 2007, for all time, and so on.

You might also be interested in Wordtracker, a webmasters service that tracks all search engines, not just Google. Once a week they email you with the top 300 terms searched for in the last 48 hours (as of my last bulliten, Feb. 26th - the top term was sex), and the top 200 terms searched for in the last 100 days (the top term was sex).

From my personal experience, I have to say I think "sex" has been the top term for about the last six years that I've been recieving this. Looking at Zeitgeist and comparing it to Wordtracker, I suspect Google is removing all of the porn related terms completely (you can also subscribe to Wordtracker without porn terms).
