Comments on: I'm a Celebrity 2009: ITV neglects its SEO http://www.malcolmcoles.co.uk/blog/im-a-celebrity-2009-itv-seo/ Where to find Malcolm Coles, reviews, and tips on how to do things I couldn't do.

I've previously noticed in various keyword tools that people DO search for reality tv shows (plus recurring sporting events) with the year / series in. This is particularly an issue before the events start, when google still prefers old content with links to new content. Once you get into it, search volumes soar, google prefers fresh content, and the years become unnecessary. ITV were top for just I'm a Celebrity - it does say that in intro ;)

I'm pretty sure most people I know wouldn't. I'd be interested in seeing the results from just "I'm a celebrity" being the phrase. Do you think most users include the phrase '2009' in their search?

I hope someone at ITV read this post!
