With all the excitement on the field, we looked online to see what fans across the U.S. were searching for during the game.<br /> <br /> Overall, the top trending searches on Google during the game were:<br /> <ol> <li>M&M’s</li> <li>Beyonce</li> <li>Baltimore Ravens</li> <li>San Francisco 49ers</li> <li>Colin Kaepernick</li> </ol> Other noteworthy trending searches include those about the power outage, which started trending mid-game and ended up ranking eighth out of the most-searched terms during game time. Searches for Beyonce spiked dramatically during her halftime show. And showing that ads drive consumer interest, searches for Chrysler spiked significantly after their fourth quarter commercial. <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPWZ6uQ_v7ZZmjDZ_c6WpHTkfIMmBLlaB5XK-2qXfYwIpK7lQ3tYxHCILyLVugkx-S_88THKQyf2Z7jf2Z0jLJUawViDtaowWNCQoiMBorSk6q6ZVeaqQCXDM-Xsy4E_BtGOIA/s1600/super+bowl+chart+10-30.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPWZ6uQ_v7ZZmjDZ_c6WpHTkfIMmBLlaB5XK-2qXfYwIpK7lQ3tYxHCILyLVugkx-S_88THKQyf2Z7jf2Z0jLJUawViDtaowWNCQoiMBorSk6q6ZVeaqQCXDM-Xsy4E_BtGOIA/s500/super+bowl+chart+10-30.png" width="500" /></a></div> <br /> <b>The most searched team: The Ravens</b><br /> As they did in the game, the Ravens narrowly beat out the 49ers as the most searched team during the game on Google.

While John Harbaugh took home the trophy, <b>Jim was the most searched brother</b> on Google. <br /> <br /> <b>Game day commercials</b><br /> Lastly, it’s not game day without the commercials. Fans were seeking out commercials online throughout the game, driving searches for big game ads on Google 55 times higher this Sunday than the same time last week.

With all the excitement on the field, we looked online to see what fans across the U.S. were searching for during the game.<br /> <br /> Overall, the top trending searches on Google during the game were:<br /> <ol> <li>M&M’s</li> <li>Beyonce</li> <li>Baltimore Ravens</li> <li>San Francisco 49ers</li> <li>Colin Kaepernick</li> </ol> Other noteworthy trending searches include those about the power outage, which started trending mid-game and ended up ranking eighth out of the most-searched terms during game time. Searches for Beyonce spiked dramatically during her halftime show. And showing that ads drive consumer interest, searches for Chrysler spiked significantly after their fourth quarter commercial. <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPWZ6uQ_v7ZZmjDZ_c6WpHTkfIMmBLlaB5XK-2qXfYwIpK7lQ3tYxHCILyLVugkx-S_88THKQyf2Z7jf2Z0jLJUawViDtaowWNCQoiMBorSk6q6ZVeaqQCXDM-Xsy4E_BtGOIA/s1600/super+bowl+chart+10-30.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPWZ6uQ_v7ZZmjDZ_c6WpHTkfIMmBLlaB5XK-2qXfYwIpK7lQ3tYxHCILyLVugkx-S_88THKQyf2Z7jf2Z0jLJUawViDtaowWNCQoiMBorSk6q6ZVeaqQCXDM-Xsy4E_BtGOIA/s500/super+bowl+chart+10-30.png" width="500" /></a></div> <br /> <b>The most searched team: The Ravens</b><br /> As they did in the game, the Ravens narrowly beat out the 49ers as the most searched team during the game on Google. The most searched players of the game were <b>Colin Kaepernick, Joe Flacco, Michael Oher, David Akers</b> and <b>Jacoby Jones</b>—thanks to his <a href="http://espn.go.com/nfl/playoffs/2012/story/_/id/8911913/super-bowl-2013-baltimore-ravens-jacoby-jones-sets-record-108-yard-kickoff-return">108-yard kickoff return</a>. <br /> <br /> The Harbaugh brothers’ on-field battle has been one of the big stories of the game, so it’s no surprise that viewers took to the web to find more information on these coaches. While John Harbaugh took home the trophy, <b>Jim was the most searched brother</b> on Google. <br /> <br /> <b>Game day commercials</b><br /> Lastly, it’s not game day without the commercials. Fans were seeking out commercials online throughout the game, driving searches for big game ads on Google 55 times higher this Sunday than the same time last week.

More and more, behind every great video is a great Channel, and with our announcement last month that <a href="http://youtube-global.blogspot.com/2011/10/more-great-content-creators-coming-to.html">more of them</a> are coming to YouTube, we want to make it easier for you to find and keep tabs of what you want to watch.<br /> <br /> So, today we're introducing a new homepage, Channel design and a fresh coat of digital paint. Here are three ways these updates will improve your life on YouTube:<br /> <br /> <b>1. A new homepage</b><br /> The YouTube homepage is your gateway to a vast entertainment universe. To help you get more into YouTube, we’re making it easier to find and follow great Channels when you arrive. On the left side of the homepage you can create your own, personal, customizable YouTube Channel line-up. Sign in, or <a href="https://accounts.google.com/NewAccount?followup=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Femail_confirm&uilel=0&service=youtube&shdf=ChYLEgxub1F1YXJhbnRpbmUaBFRydWUMEgd5b3V0dWJlGgRTSEExIhQkAPpz1U0coqD5XlIXIPYDScoyXigBMhTBV4yYdCmsMNnr-2_kpGvDmAou4w%3D%3D&skipll=true&passive=true&skipvpage=true&continue=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fsignin%3Faction_handle_signin%3Dtrue%26new%3Dtrue%26nomobiletemp%3D1%26hl%3Den_US%26next%3D%252F&hl=en_US&nui=17&ltmpl=ssu2">create a YouTube account</a>. Then you can browse recommended Channels; customize your homepage’s feed; even link your YouTube account to Google+ and Facebook to see what your friends are sharing. The new homepage feed we <a href="http://youtube-global.blogspot.com/2011/01/new-youtube-homepage-launches-to-all.html">launched</a> earlier this year is now front and center on the homepage. You can switch between feeds by clicking on different Channels on the left. <br /> <br /> For step by step instructions on using the new YouTube homepage, you can go to our <a href="//www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/static.py?page=guide.cs&guide=1728471&topic=1735473">help center</a>. <br /> <br /> <b>2. Simpler, customizable Channels</b><br /> Given the homepage’s new focus on helping you find and organize your favorite Channels, we would be remiss if we didn’t update the look and feel of the Channels themselves. Today we're launching an improved Channel design focused on what matters most: helping users find great videos. As different uploaders have different goals, we've created new Channel templates to meet your needs whether you produce one video a week or have thousands of videos for a fan to browse. Some partners have even uploaded <a href="//www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZa2DUzEq8M">videos</a> talking about the features, or <a href="//www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXpDA6039gw">giving tips</a> on how they’re taking advantage of the new design. To learn how to opt-in to and test this new Channel design, check out our <a href="//www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/static.py?page=guide.cs&guide=1734705&topic=1735163">help center</a>. <br /> <br /> <b>3. A new overall design</b><br /> To bring the new homepage and Channels designs together we’ve also applied a fresh coat of digital paint across the whole site. In July, we <a href="http://youtube-global.blogspot.com/2011/07/check-out-cosmic-panda-new-experimental.html">unveiled</a> an experimental design called Cosmic Panda. We’ve used your feedback to improve our overall design, and today, we’re presenting a cleaner and simpler YouTube, with a consistent gray background, bigger video thumbnails and a more streamlined watch page. <br /> <br /> Ready to get started? Your new YouTube is already shipped and waiting for you at <a href="//www.youtube.com/">YouTube.com</a>, and like every new toy, we included an <a href="//www.youtube.com/t/new">instruction manual</a> (and <a href="//www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-ajXnrpkio">video</a>) to help.<br /> <br /> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/W-ajXnrpkio?rel=0" width="560"></iframe><br /> <br /> Our recent <a href="http://youtube-global.blogspot.com/2011/10/more-great-content-creators-coming-to.html">Channels expansion</a>, our <a href="http://youtube-global.blogspot.com/2011/03/youtube-nextup-are-you-next-big-thing.html">grants</a> and <a href="http://youtube-global.blogspot.com/2011/03/apply-to-youtube-creator-institutes.html">educational programs</a>, and this new design are all focused on helping you discover a broader range of entertainment on YouTube. We’re always innovating and testing new stuff out to make the experience the best it can be for you. We rely on your feedback to figure out when we've gotten it right and when it needs further tweaks. So let us know what you think.<br /> <br /> <span class="byline-author">Posted by the YouTube team</span> <span itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://plus.google.com/116899029375914044550' itemprop='url'/> </span> </script> <noscript> From your favorite <a href="//www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hLJp0c19DI&feature=channel_video_title">sports highlights</a> and <a href="//www.youtube.com/watch?v=v04zFuNo8ek">dance competitions</a> to <a href="//www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUFAxsrWpvs&feature=channel_video_title">make-up tutorials</a>, <a href="//www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ewpwylbxec&feature=channel_video_title">science experiments</a> and <a href="//www.youtube.com/movies">great movies</a>, there’s a ton of great stuff on YouTube—over 3 billion views worth per day by last count.

Here are three ways these updates will improve your life on YouTube:<br /> <br /> <b>1. A new homepage</b><br /> The YouTube homepage is your gateway to a vast entertainment universe. To help you get more into YouTube, we’re making it easier to find and follow great Channels when you arrive. On the left side of the homepage you can create your own, personal, customizable YouTube Channel line-up. Sign in, or <a href="https://accounts.google.com/NewAccount?followup=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Femail_confirm&uilel=0&service=youtube&shdf=ChYLEgxub1F1YXJhbnRpbmUaBFRydWUMEgd5b3V0dWJlGgRTSEExIhQkAPpz1U0coqD5XlIXIPYDScoyXigBMhTBV4yYdCmsMNnr-2_kpGvDmAou4w%3D%3D&skipll=true&passive=true&skipvpage=true&continue=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fsignin%3Faction_handle_signin%3Dtrue%26new%3Dtrue%26nomobiletemp%3D1%26hl%3Den_US%26next%3D%252F&hl=en_US&nui=17&ltmpl=ssu2">create a YouTube account</a>. Then you can browse recommended Channels; customize your homepage’s feed; even link your YouTube account to Google+ and Facebook to see what your friends are sharing. The new homepage feed we <a href="http://youtube-global.blogspot.com/2011/01/new-youtube-homepage-launches-to-all.html">launched</a> earlier this year is now front and center on the homepage. You can switch between feeds by clicking on different Channels on the left. <br /> <br /> For step by step instructions on using the new YouTube homepage, you can go to our <a href="//www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/static.py?page=guide.cs&guide=1728471&topic=1735473">help center</a>. <br /> <br /> <b>2. Simpler, customizable Channels</b><br /> Given the homepage’s new focus on helping you find and organize your favorite Channels, we would be remiss if we didn’t update the look and feel of the Channels themselves. Today we're launching an improved Channel design focused on what matters most: helping users find great videos. As different uploaders have different goals, we've created new Channel templates to meet your needs whether you produce one video a week or have thousands of videos for a fan to browse. Some partners have even uploaded <a href="//www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZa2DUzEq8M">videos</a> talking about the features, or <a href="//www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXpDA6039gw">giving tips</a> on how they’re taking advantage of the new design. To learn how to opt-in to and test this new Channel design, check out our <a href="//www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/static.py?page=guide.cs&guide=1734705&topic=1735163">help center</a>. <br /> <br /> <b>3. A new overall design</b><br /> To bring the new homepage and Channels designs together we’ve also applied a fresh coat of digital paint across the whole site. In July, we <a href="http://youtube-global.blogspot.com/2011/07/check-out-cosmic-panda-new-experimental.html">unveiled</a> an experimental design called Cosmic Panda. We’ve used your feedback to improve our overall design, and today, we’re presenting a cleaner and simpler YouTube, with a consistent gray background, bigger video thumbnails and a more streamlined watch page. <br /> <br /> Ready to get started? Your new YouTube is already shipped and waiting for you at <a href="//www.youtube.com/">YouTube.com</a>, and like every new toy, we included an <a href="//www.youtube.com/t/new">instruction manual</a> (and <a href="//www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-ajXnrpkio">video</a>) to help.<br /> <br /> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/W-ajXnrpkio?rel=0" width="560"></iframe><br /> <br /> Our recent <a href="http://youtube-global.blogspot.com/2011/10/more-great-content-creators-coming-to.html">Channels expansion</a>, our <a href="http://youtube-global.blogspot.com/2011/03/youtube-nextup-are-you-next-big-thing.html">grants</a> and <a href="http://youtube-global.blogspot.com/2011/03/apply-to-youtube-creator-institutes.html">educational programs</a>, and this new design are all focused on helping you discover a broader range of entertainment on YouTube. We’re always innovating and testing new stuff out to make the experience the best it can be for you. We rely on your feedback to figure out when we've gotten it right and when it needs further tweaks.

In this post, you’ll read the story of how a Utah entrepreneur used YouTube to build a market for his tongue cleaner product, the Orabrush. Starting this month, CVS/pharmacy will begin carrying the product in stores across the United States. - Ed.</i><br /> <br /> When Dr. Bob Wagstaff invented the Orabrush tongue cleaner, he tried all the traditional business strategies to sell his product. He invested $40,000 into a TV infomercial, approached retail shops to carry the Orabrush in stores and offered to sell his patent to other oral hygiene companies. None of it worked. The infomercial yielded only 100 orders, and people walked past the product in stores without a second glance.<br /> <br /> As a final attempt to get his business off the ground, Dr. Wagstaff took the advice of Jeffrey Harmon, a local college student, and started marketing the tongue cleaners on YouTube. With a $500 budget, they produced and posted their <a href="//youtu.be/nFeb6YBftHE">first video</a> introducing the Orabrush and offering the product for purchase online. <br /> <br /> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/nFeb6YBftHE" width="560"></iframe><br /> <br /> The quirky, commercial-style video explained that 90 percent of bad breath comes from bacteria on the tongue—hence the solution, the Orabrush tongue cleaner. Shot in a makeshift studio in the neighborhood pool hall (listen closely and you can hear the balls cracking in the background), the video went viral, rocketing to 16 million views. <br /> <br /> <b>Building a brand on YouTube</b><br /> After the explosive reaction to their first video, Harmon took on the role as Chief Marketing Officer and began creating regular webisodes, introducing new characters like <a href="//www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOxhrdS2xAc&feature=channel_video_title">Morgan, the dirty tongue</a>. Harmon then used YouTube <a href="//www.youtube.com/advertise/video-ads.html">video ads</a> to reach more people and grow their fan base. The “<a href="//www.youtube.com/user/curebadbreath">Cure Bad Breath</a>” videos built a loyal following, and their YouTube channel grew to nearly 40 million views. <br /> <br /> After two years, Orabrush had sold more than a million tongue cleaners to people in 40+ countries. The Orabrush brand became so popular that local pharmacy store managers began contacting Orabrush directly, citing requests from customers who had heard about the brand online. This fall, <a href="http://www.orabrush.com/company/press_releases/20110920-walmart">Walmart</a> began carrying the Orabrush tongue cleaners in its 3,500+ stores across the United States. And this week, CVS/pharmacy has added the Orabrush tongue cleaner to more than 7,000 stores across the country. That’s a lot of tongue cleaners!<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg7SE4ZAgzpLAlYduUjM-RoYkYvDYaHZzKOY7LEsZqbq8lWWDJGx8JaHjSW-Ro7LWAkRfIc_xFo7EDD6xK2zEAuuQrlTrahAeUD2gbpwufkrMb9Q-lRtHUdvAEG_TzbUNMNVg8/s1600/infographic.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg7SE4ZAgzpLAlYduUjM-RoYkYvDYaHZzKOY7LEsZqbq8lWWDJGx8JaHjSW-Ro7LWAkRfIc_xFo7EDD6xK2zEAuuQrlTrahAeUD2gbpwufkrMb9Q-lRtHUdvAEG_TzbUNMNVg8/s450/infographic.png" width="450" /></a></div> <br /> These days Orabrush is taking a new approach to drive even more sales in stores.
