Yahoo! Top Searches of 2008
Yes, she did it again…
For seven of the past eight years, Britney Spears still emerges as top online searches at Yahoo! this year. Yes, guys and gals – not even the charisma of the top politicians of the hour such as the first African-American President Barack Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton or even the death of Dark Knight’s Heath Ledger weakened the glitter of the drama-prone Pop Princess in 2008.
Ironically, second place goes to World Wrestling Entertainment’s soap opera chaos in the WWE stages that keep the faithful followings searching for mixed martial arts’ move and virtual wresting action online. Barack Obama on the other hand placed 3rd overall as he made history on every turn when he won a nail-biting race as the official Presidential nominee of the Democrat party against New York senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and then again, for defeating John McCain in the national election.

Very impressive results of the top searches of Yahoo for 2008. Britney Spears topped them all. She has recovered from her stigma of the past. Thanks for the post. God bless.

@itot – hmmm, maganda idea yang SEO mo ha, teka makabitan nga ng s-e-x-y britney spears!
I think this is because of her uniqueness. People loves to see her comeback to know she can really do it again. After all, her life story is a good lesson to learn from.
