Divorce Blog

I thought this was interesting. These are the 10 most searched on divorce related words for November 2007 in most searched on order as reported by Google.

divorce, after divorce , divorce advice, divorce children, divorce law, divorce records, divorce uk, divorces, on divorce, about divorce,

It’s sort of fascinating to read through the list as it is in a way almost an insight into the collective psyche of people interested in or dealing with the topic of divorce.  I’ll skip the 1st keyword ‘divorce’ as that doesn’t really say too much other than that some people are too lazy to broaden the search term out, or just unwilling perhaps or maybe too trusting of a search engine to deliver what they expect to find for the term.

There’s after divorce at number 2 people considering divorce or having just been through one and looking for answers or pointers on what to expect?

Followed at 3 by divorce advice a clear link with search term 2 almost going hand in hand.

Then there’s the children thing of course at 4 divorce children (should be the number 1 if you ask me) people frantic with worry trying to gauge the best way of handling things and making it as easy as they can for their kids maybe.

At 5 we have divorce law yuck, that nasty old interfering thing that comes in with cold hard force or determined resolute action a view largely determined by ones status in the divorce proceedings.

Then there’s a curious one at 6 of divorce records I was initially surprised to see this so high up in any list as it’s kind of disjointed from the general set,  yet a look at the results page shows that it returns all sorts of ancestry trace results  so that’s kind of understandble there.

At 7 there’s divorce uk I  probably got that in my list because I’m in the UK. Could this be one of those searches from people who got lazy initially found a lot of irrelevant international results so decided to hone it down a little by inserting the UK word?

At 8 there was divorces a search by people looking for more than one divorce perhaps, some kind of bigamistical recovery thing

At 9 there was on divorce hmmn another little search anomaly from people who aren’t that clear on the best way to use a search engine perhaps.

At 10 there was about divorce similar to other queries but no doubt good for returning pages that have the word ‘about’ divorce in the title and last but not least, yet for me the most important one of them all
children and divorce.

I’d like to forecast that when I look at this again in January sometime, that Divorce Xmas or Divorce Christmas will be high up on that list, as it’s an especially hard time of the year for all concerned.

Of course it would be nice to find in subsequent looks at this that the number trends go down rather than up. The terms Get a Divorce were 55th in a list of 150, lets hope that this position drops down rather than rises. With the stresses that Xmas can bring, I can’t help but think that it’ll rise up rather than fall, let’s hope I’m wrong!
