The Oprah Winfrey Internet Effect

In this video I discuss how powerful Oprah Winfrey’s influence is on Internet search traffic.

If you pay attention to the recommendations that Oprah and her guests make on the show, usually it creates a very high interest in whatever the subject may be. This in turns drives Internet search traffic because people want to find out more about the subject, topic, product, etc.

Sometimes, her guests even encourage the viewers to look it up to get more information. This happened on a very recent show in which Oprah’s guest was Dr. Mehmet Oz, who was discussing a product called Resveratrol (source for article in the video).
