Google Insights for Search Predicts Kris Allen Next American Idol According to ymarketing's Latest Blog

ymarketing’s Search and Social Media Data Project Concludes with Stunning Prediction: Kris Allen’s momentum, as chronicled by Google Insights, will carry him to victory over favorite Adam Lambert.

Costa Mesa, CA, May 21, 2009 --(PR.com)-- In April digital search engine marketing company ymarketing launched its Idol Prediction Project series of blogs by focusing on search and social media data. The search and social media data project accurately identified Kris Allen as a dark horse and successfully zeroed in on the Final 3. Today the search firm concluded its blog series with a post predicting underdog Kris Allen’s momentum, as chronicled by Google Insights, will carry him to victory over favorite Adam Lambert.

“Kris has moved from a ‘live underdog’ into a favorite in just a few weeks time,” said ymarketing Vice President Donald Nosek. “The response to the blog series has been phenomenal and we’ve had a lot of fun doing it.”

Predicting the winners of shows like American Idol or Dancing with the Stars is nothing new. In fact, in his book Click, Bill Tancer of Hitwise writes about his approach to predicting prior seasons of American Idol and Dancing With the Stars. But never before has the prediction been as far reaching and included Social Media along with searches from select pop culture and entertainment data sources.

For this project ymarketing utilized Facebook Lexicon, Google Trends, Google Insights, Compete, YouTube, Twitter and more as data sources; then analyzed the keywords and traffic on these sites and other top entertainment and pop culture sites to formulate blog predictions.
