Happy Birthday, Pacman!

Is this a quick and random post? Yes – but so what? Today, on the 3oth anniversary of the legendary game Pac-man, Google has made its page into an interface where the actual game can be played. You can choose to continue searching by clicking “Google Search” or play the game by clicking “Insert Coin”. It’s pretty funny to see how many Twitter updates have been made on the subject. I’d be interested in seeing how this affects the PPC campaigns of video game websites.
This actually brings a thought to mind – What is the effect of Google’s recognition of special occasions on search volume? I am sure that it significantly increases the number of searches on that given subject. Are there opportunities to capture relevant traffic from Google-inspired searches? I am certainly going to try and find out!
