Why I’m Trending on Google Trends (Well, Almost)

I was never one to follow trends. I’ve never been what you’d call “trendy.” In fact, the whole idea of chasing trends or idolizing influencers – people famous for being famous – has always rubbed me the wrong way. It’s just not my style. I’m perfectly content in my little microcosmos, doing my own thing. If people want to throw shade, I’ll gladly take it! But you’ll never catch me shouting from the rooftops for attention just because it’s the thing to do. Nope, not me.

I used to be pretty happy when my website was pulling in 3,500 visits a day. And guess what? I’m just as happy now with 35 visitors. I’m here for the passion, not the numbers. But then something interesting happened… suddenly, I noticed I was getting more clicks than usual. Did I accidentally stumble into Google Trends? I mean, that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but hey, a spike in traffic is still a spike in traffic!

Let’s face it: our attention spans have dropped to 10 seconds, tops, in the last few years. It’s a fact. People don’t read blogs like they used to. Heck, sometimes I wonder if people are reading anything these days. We live in the age of fast content – videos, pictures, and more videos. It’s a nonstop feed of artificial everything.

So when someone actually reads something on my blog, I’m like, “Wow, this is a rare unicorn of the internet!” Thank you to anyone who landed here and spent more than five seconds on my site. And hey, if you clicked on my page by accident, I’m not complaining either! A click’s a click, right?

Google Trends

I’m not exactly trending on Google, but I did see a surge of visitors yesterday, which is enough to make me feel like I’ve hit the big time (even if just for a moment). Maybe I’m not in Google’s official trends, but it’s fun to imagine that I’m climbing the charts, even if it’s just for offering awesome free content.

The most visited articles on my site recently? Check these out:

  1. Chic and Sleek: Snag Your Free Zoom Backgrounds in Scandinavian Style
  2. Cat-Inspired Furniture Design: The Purr-fect Blend of Creativity and Love for Cats
  3. Discover the Daisy Delight with My Floral Background for iPhone
  4. Books, Shelves, and Virtual Tales: Transform Your Zoom Space with Library Backgrounds
  5. Fall Wallpaper for iPhone: Cozy, Colorful, and Full of Autumn Vibes

Apparently, Google decided these were worthy of showing to the world. And you know what? I agree. These articles are fun, creative, and, dare I say, purr-fect (especially if you love cats).

Google Trends

Now, you might be wondering why I’m even talking about Google Trends when I just admitted I’m not a fan of trends. Well, here’s the thing: Google Trends is not just about following the latest viral dance moves on TikTok. It’s actually a pretty handy tool for understanding what people are interested in.

For someone like me, who runs a website filled with unique graphics, illustrations, and designs, keeping an eye on what’s popular can give me insights into what kind of content people might enjoy. Sure, I’m not here to chase trends, but if there’s something that could help me create content that resonates with more people (without sacrificing my personal style), why not?

Even if you’re not a website owner like me, Google Trends can be super helpful. Want to know what’s hot right now? Google Trends can tell you. Planning to start a blog or a YouTube channel? Use Google Trends to find out what people are searching for. It’s like having a sneak peek into the internet’s collective brain.

Here’s a quick tip: if you have a hobby or a side hustle (or just want to understand what your friends are obsessed with), type a few keywords into Google Trends and see what comes up. You’ll be surprised by what’s trending, and maybe you’ll even find a new passion or project idea.
