I’m keeping track of the growing word-of-mouth marketing space by tracking the total number of indexed sites that use the keyword phrase “word of mouth” or “word of mouth marketing” in meta data tags — specifically the title and description tags.

Here’s the count as of 11:22 am EST for February 14, 2006 where T = Title Tag and D = Description Tag:

T: word of mouth: 22,700
D: word of mouth: 21,500

T: word of mouth marketing: 528
D: word of mouth marketing: 631

I’m sure someone will make this into a pretty chart…

Of course, Google will be introducing a new algo update to address content scrapers and 302 redirect hole that has been expoited by search spammers. The counts are likely to slightly decline.

The number of WOM firm are using paid search has now reached 38 on Google. Yahoo’s Overture paid-search advertisers for the keyword phrase number 15 with max CPC bid ranges from $0.10 to $0.57 per click.
