151,000,000 searches for the word TORRENT via Google Search in February 2010.

Hi everyone,
I came across this information today whilst conducting some research, and thought I would share it with everyone in this group.

I’ve discovered that in February 2010 alone, there have been 151,000,000 searches for the word TORRENT via Google Search.

You can replicate this result by performing the following steps:

1. Click here: https://adwords.google.com.au/select/KeywordToolExternal
2. Type in the keyword: torrent
3. Leave “Use synonyms” ticked
4. Click “Get keyword ideas”

Now, I highly doubt that the bulk of the search for “Torrent” would be related to water torrents or anything like that, I’d say it is safe to conclude that people are heavily searching for Torrent files to download.

Also, keep in mind that the results from this only indicate the number of times it has been searched via Google Search; it certainly doesn’t count the unknown number using different search engines or going directly via Torrent index websites.

Has anyone come up with any other statistics that demonstrates the overall Torrent user numbers, I’d be most interested in seeing this information.
