ABSTRACT:
Various embodiments of a system and method for detecting trends in network-based content, such as trends within the content of various network locations, are described. The system and method for detecting trends in network-based content may include a network-based trend service that enables a user to create a trend profile. The trend profile may include, a search target, a sampling frequency or schedule, and/or one or more thresholds. To determine the level of network-based activity for a search target, the network-based trend service may determine which network locations of a search domain contain the search target. The network-based trend service may determine the number of instances of the search target found within each search result. The network-based trend service may capture data samples that may include the total number of search results and/or the total instance count and may determine one or more trends from the data samples.
