While these stats are by no means conclusive (they don't even reflect real totals, but percentages of total Google searches), I still think they're a valuable methods for getting a sense of who is paying attention to what on the Internet. @DavidB,

I mean really, how many people would start looking for "blackberry" at Google, versus just going to blackberry.com? So unless RIM (and the rest of the web) were to outsource their site search to Google (which a LOT of sites do already but by no means do all), the Analytics numbers are never going to be a reflection of reality.
