(Note: This analysis is based on top search terms by Korean users on Google.)
The “Google guy” writes about Google again…
Many bloggers want to boost traffic to their websites.
But most don’t even know what people are actually searching for.
(Yes… this might be about me too.)
In this post, I’ll explore the most-searched keywords on Google in Korea,
and how bloggers can choose the right keywords depending on mobile vs. PC trends.
1. 🔍 “Top 10 Most Searched Keywords on Google Korea”
| Rank | Overall (PC + Mobile) | Mobile Focus | PC Focus |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Naver (37.2M) | Weather | Google Drive |
| 2 | YouTube (30.4M) | YouTube | Gmail |
| 3 | Yutube (30.4M, typo) | Tomorrow’s weather | Photoshop |
| 4 | Porn (16.6M) | Naver Shopping | Hangeul download |
| 5 | Weather (16.6M) | Webtoons | PDF converter |
| 6 | Newtoki (9.1M) | Coupang | Excel functions |
| 7 | Femco (7.4M) | Translator | How to start a blog |
| 8 | Tomorrow’s weather (7.4M) | Real-time trends | Adobe Premiere Pro |
| 9 | TV Wiki (7.4M) | Live TV | Web server setup |
| 10 | Naver Shopping (6.1M) | Daum News | Portfolio template download |
This table is more than just a popularity ranking —
It’s a strategic starting point to choose your core keywords
and develop long-tail variations.
(Also: Naver was overwhelmingly #1, “Yutube” typo is hilarious, and #4 and #6… yeah, let’s skip that.)
Mobile users tend to search light and instant content like weather, while
PC users often search technical, productivity-related info — possibly blog-worthy material!
2. 📱💻 “Mobile vs. PC: Different Search Behaviors”
Mobile = Immediate & casual needs (weather, shopping, webtoons)
PC = Work-related, tools, productivity-focused (Excel, Photoshop, downloads)
Depending on your blog’s style, you might want to target one or the other.
3. ✍️ “Popular Keywords Attract Traffic, But Also Heavy Competition”
Terms like “YouTube” or “weather” are super saturated.
You might get clicks, but it’s hard to stand out.
🔸 The trick? Long-tail keywords.
Instead of “weather,” try:
👉 “Will Seoul’s rainy season end in the second week of July?”
4. 🧠 “So How Should Bloggers Build Keyword Strategy?”
Use high-volume keywords to understand what people want.
Then filter through your blog’s niche and your reader’s context.
Match that to the right timing, titles, and tone.
For example:
- PC-friendly topics → Technical blogs, how-tos
- Mobile-friendly topics → Reviews, product deals, everyday tips
🔸 Conclusion
Popular keywords are tempting, but highly competitive.
Still, if you learn to break them down, remix, and tailor them to your blog,
you can increase both search traffic and reader retention.
Understanding the “why” behind a keyword is more powerful than chasing the trend itself.
