How many search results does your candidate have?
by roiji on Feb.03, 2010, under Others, Tech
After Villar wins the Google Trends search query, this time how many results do you think your candidate have?
We’re all here for the results right?I used 3 test for this.
- Google home page type-in suggestions results
- Specific matching key word search — where you put double quotes on the keywords to search the documents with specifically matching words: both words has to appear side-by-side
- Normal key word search — where a word can be inside the document with another word but both words may or may not be side-by-side
This time all of the candidates are included in the results:
- Vetellano “Dodong” Acosta
- Benigno Simeon “Noynoy” Aquino, III
- John Carlos “JC” de los Reyes
- Joseph “Erap” Estrada Ejercito
- Richard “Dick” Gordon
- Maria Ana Consuelo “Jamby” Madrigal
- Jesus Nicanor “Nicky” Perlas
- Gilberto Eduardo Gerardo “Gibo” Teodoro
- Eduardo “Eddie” Villanueva
- Manuel “Manny” Villar, Jr.
If you’re wondering where I got their full names.. just go to Wikipedia… Dodong? COMELEC!!
TEST 1: Google homepage type-in suggestions
| Query (exclude brackets) |
Result | |
| Erap Estrada | [erap] | 1,410,000 |
| Noynoy Aquino | [noynoy] | 1,040,000 |
| Eddie Villanueva | [eddie] | 694,000 |
| Nicky Perlas | [nicky p] | 572,000 |
| Manny Villar | [manny] | 562,000 |
| Gibo Teodoro | [gibo] | 552,000 |
| Jamby Madrigal | [jamby] | 343,000 |
| JC de los Reyes | [jc ] | 256,000 |
| Vetellano Acosta | [vetellan] | |
| Dick Gordon | [dick g] |
Winner: ERAP!
Notes:
- The query is where I type each letter one by one until the candidates appear.
- Cannot use ‘richard gordon‘ because it is will show results that includes another author, a US senator, among others…
- JC de los Reyes could share his query with other people, it’s a generic name after all.
- Blank means Google did not give any suggestions.
- The results are automated and does not reflect the opinion of the author and/nor Google.
TEST2: Specific match keyword search
| Query | Result | |
| Noynoy Aquino | “noynoy aquino” | 827,000 |
| Manny Villar | “manny villar” | 732,000 |
| JC de los Reyes | “jc de los reyes” | 663,000 |
| Gibo Teodoro | “gibo teodoro” | 389,000 |
| Eddie Villanueva | “eddie villanueva” | 309,000 |
| Jamby Madrigal | “jamby madrigal” | 281,000 |
| Erap Estrada | “erap estrada” | 190,000 |
| Dick Gordon | “dick gordon” | 129,000 |
| Nicky Perlas | “nicky perlas” | 46,600 |
| Dodong Acosta | “vetellano acosta” | 2,470 |
Winner: NOYNOY!!
Notes:
- This is an advanced query where in “erap estrada” will not show a result where a document contains Joseph Erap Ejercito Estrada because erap is not beside estrada but will show Joseph Erap Estrada Ejercito.
- This shows restuls of erap with estrada than “joseph estrada“.
- This also shows that you have to have a unique side-by-side name combination.. noynoy with aquino, manny with villar to show more results.
TEST3: Generic Google search: without double quotes
| Query | Result | |
| Erap Estrada | erap estrada | 1,960,000 |
| Dick Gordon | dick gordon | 1,790,000 |
| Gibo Teodoro | gibo teodoro | 1,380,000 |
| Noynoy Aquino | noynoy aquino | 911,000 |
| Manny Villar | manny villar | 786,000 |
| Nicky Perlas | nicky perlas | 731,000 |
| Eddie Villanueva | eddie villanueva | 657,000 |
| Jamby Madrigal | jamby madrigal | 567,000 |
| JC de los Reyes | jc de los reyes | 296,000 |
| Dodong Acosta | vetellano acosta | 155,000 |
Winner: ERAP!!!
OVERALL WINNER: ERAP!!!!
This shows that many people generate content with Erap Estrada as a topic. Even though Manny Villar was the winner in Google Trends he didn’t have enough content recently to generate results. But that may change…
