Posted • September 10, 2009 • Comments Off
Shawn Merriman, Tia Taquila, and Social Media Search

Using the new “Social Media Monitoring” tool from SEOmoz. [ Social Media Monitoring Prototype (PRO Only) New social media monitoring prototype - powered by Blogscape! ] I ran the search terms merriman, shawne merriman, shawn merriman, and merriman chokes taquilla, to find out its popularity in the social sphere.
If you aren’t familiar with SEOmoz. I would suggest you check them out. SEOmoz is one of the best resources I have found to help with internet marketing. A day does not pass that I have been on my computer that I haven’t visited their site at least once.
The search is for all of the words in the phrase in any order.
The results:
merriman chokes tequila
- last 24 hours – 0 posts
- last 7 days – 19 posts
- last 30 days – 19 posts
- last 7 days – 137 tweets
shawn merriman
- last 24 hours – 0 posts
- last 7 days – 117 posts

So how do we use these statistics?
When coupled with the keyword research statistics we talked about in the post “The Continuing Saga of Shawne Merriman and Tia Taquila” where we found out there were.
- predicted searches on “shawne merriman” were – 113 daily
- predicted searches on “shawn merriman” were – 83 daily
- predicted searches on “merriman chokes tequila” were – 40 daily
- predicted searches on “merriman” were – 25 daily
We can see which searches were up and which posts and tweets were down. We can then adjust our social campaigns to give the freshest information on the most popular – least used phrases.
All the information is based on past information there is no actual “real time” information available.
Just don’t let the topic go stale where you will be discussing something no one is searching on any more.
We will visit the stats some time next week and see what the statistics tell us then.
Late,
Gary Pool
