Hot Searches – July 2012

Internet Search history for July 2012 centred around Sport – with Wimbledon and Tour de France events and the Olympics beginning all in July. The London Olympics have now begun with the opening ceremony being a hot topic both in Australia and worldwide.

In comparison to last year, searches were on the Rupert Murdoch investigation and the death of Amy Winehouse. Hot Searches – July 2011 did see similar searches to this year with the month of Tax return and the Tour de France.

Searches have also been high on E-tax for Mac to find out if you can lodge a tax return on a Mac computer. E-tax for Mac will not be available until next year.

The Dark Knight Rises

The release at the cinema of the Dark Night Rises has led to an increase in related search terms on reviews and IMDb to watch trailers and view ratings on the film.
