Subject: KDnuggets Most Popular Search Terms in 2001

The most popular search term for KDnuggets search engine, surprise, surprise ... was "data mining" (some also spelled it "Data Mining" or "datamining").

Of about 36,700 searches in Q2-Q4 of 2001 done on KDnuggets (I don't have data for Q1 2001), about 7% were for "data mining". Since the entire KDnuggets site is devoted to data mining, this search returns almost every page. To solve this problem, I have created a KDnuggets FAQ page for "data mining", a link to which is now returned for searches for "data mining".

Next 10 most popular terms were

  • web mining
  • text mining
  • clustering
  • clementine
  • sas
  • decision tree
  • knowledge discovery
  • weka
  • fraud
  • crm
Looking at top 10 search terms for Q4 2001, I found one new term that has not been frequently asked for earlier. This term is bioinformatics -- a good reflection of the growing applications of data mining in bioinformatics. Happy searching!
