My son found me sitting at my work desk here at home the other night just laughing out loud to myself and probably thought I had lost my mind.. I had him sit down while I showed him what had struck me so funny... Part of my business online revolves around identifying what people search online, like exactly the phrases they type in the Google search box and how many time a month people search those things world wide.. I know, pretty cool... As I was do some keyword research I was placing in partial phrases to the Google tool to see completed search terms that would be spit out. Kind of.. I put in "how do i" and Google tells me all the search terms that have "how do i" how do i learn to ride a bike how do i learn to drive a car Stuff like that.. One of the terms was "need money for" and one phrase Google snet back just got me thinking... It was... need money for karate and Google told me this was searched over 170 times every month. Okay... Who is it that needs money for karate that believes if they just type it into the great Google machine... The answer to getting money for karate is going to shoot out. People have started asking Google questions that are things typically reserved for praying to god or whatever type of worship you choose. why is my husband cheating on my how am i going to pay the rent Has Google become that powerful that it is the new end all to getting what you need in life?

Well even if you cannot get what you need from it, you learn a little, and sometimes when you have problems it feels good to talk about it with people you don't even know; people who've gone through the same experiences and know what to do in those circumstances.
