Bing.com Kim Kardashian Most-Searched Celebrity Of 2010
Socialite and reality personality Kim Kardashian was the most popular search term on Microsoft’s Bing search engine in 2010, edging out scandal-stained celebs Sandra Bullock and Tiger Woods, who rounded out the Top 3, Microsoft said Tuesday.
In a year when politics dominated national news and acts like Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga were tops on the pop scene, Bing searches couldn’t get enough of the buxom Armenian, who turned a celebrity sex tape into a multimillon-dollar empire. The mogul-in-the-making, who stars with her famous family on the E! docu-soap Keeping Up With the Kardashians, received 20 percent more searches than the Microsoft-powered search directory’s second most popular term, Bullock.
According to Bing, 2009′s top searched term, Michael Jackson, dropped to the No. 11 position for most popular people in 2010.
Bing still represents only 11.5 percent of US Internet searches – Google remains tops, attributing for 66 percent of all online searches.
According to Microsoft, Bing.com’s overall Most Popular Search Terms of 2010 were:
1.) Kim Kardashian
2.) Sandra Bullock
3.) Tiger Woods
4.) Lady Gaga
5.) Barack Obama.
6.) Hairstyles
7.) Kate Gosselin
8.) Walmart
9.) Justin Bieber
10.) Free

The reason Kim was the most searched celebrity is because she has 3 million fans on Facebook and 5 million Followers on Twitter. Search engine algorithm likes backlinks coming from social networking sites and blogs.
I had the opportunity to see Kim up close and in person as she hosted her first “Kim Kardashian Derby Spectacuar” held at the historic Glassworks Building on May 1, 2009. Dozens of NBA, NFL, and Hollywood celeb types were in attendance. Tickets were $125 to $750(VIP seating).
Kim looked absolutely gorgeous as she walked the red carpet wearing a designer black mini dress with matching pumps. The dress hugged her voluptuous and curvaceous figure superbly.
Despite the intermittent rain, the grand gala was a huge success and could not put a damper on the sold out affair. Proceeds from the event benefited a nonprofit organization similar to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
This is evidence that the Kardashian brand will be around for some time to come.
