Web site owners looking for more traffic may want to include some of these terms among their content: "KaZaA," "Halloween," "DragonBall," "NFL," and "Yu-Gi-Oh!" are among the top ten search terms on both the The Lycos 50 for the week ending October 5, 2002 and the Yahoo! Buzz Index of the 20 leaders for the week ending October 6, 2002.
Both lists saw the debut of "Hurricane Lili" (number 7 on Lycos and 12 on Yahoo!). Yahoo! introduced "Ryder Cup" this week at number 19, but it had already appeared on Lycos last week number 31. Lycos saw the return of "Christina Aguilera" after a 16-month absence, but she had spent the last three weeks on the Yahoo! list, most recently at number 11. "The Simpsons" showed up on the Lycos list for the first time since 2001 at number 38. The beginning of the academic year brought "Periodic Table" to the list at number 49.
