I poll the search engines just about every minute of the day to see
what queries people run on them. (I sell the statistics to people who use
the words in their web pages. The URL for the site with the week's top 100
queries is in my sig file.) In the past four or five months, I have
accumulated over 200,000,000 queries. Of those queries, here is the list
of about a hundred of the 400 or so entries related to e-commerce. (A lot
of the other 300 or so were single queries that started with the word
e-commerce.) If you want more information, write off-list, and I will
give you the entire list. If anyone else on this list wants similar
information about a topic most of us on this mailing list are all
interested in, I'll gladly supply this mailing list with it.
