BYU's Google Value

Google has done some recent updates to how you can view what people have been searching. It's a pretty cool little tool. Spent a little bit of time searching for things today. Thought you guys would be interested in the results:



BYU

http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=BYU&cmpt=q" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;



You can see the peak is in March 2011, which is! When the Davies thing was going down right? Pretty crazy to see the spike there. That is exposure for sure. However, when you click on the United States you'll see that BYU is a 100 index in Utah and a 1 index around the entire eastern united states.



BYU Football

You can see that is a seasonal spike every year. However, interesting to note that the overall trend is upward in the spikes. With 2010 being a down year, why? Probably because we lost so many games that year.



Here is some look at Internet "Stock" of players.



Dennis Pitta is way up recently.

Riley Nelson peaked back in 2007.

Max Hall

Peaked when he was an NFL starter. Had a decent peak around the Utah rant.

Jimmer

Press the "Over Time" Button at the bottom near the map. Pretty cool to watch Jimmer Mania Explode.

Mormon

Combination of Romney and the play are putting the word Mormon pretty high.

Cool stuff.

Cool. Go to regional view and check your city/area. Our local mission Spokane is a 13 and 12 for Pasco.

I checked Portland's number and it is an index of 15. I am pretty sure that all came from me.
