Top 1,292 News Keywords
Monthly search volume, CPC, competition and a 12-month trend for 1,292 news keywords, updated October 2026.
News keywords are the names of outlets, the sections people look for (sports, business, weather) and the breaking topics of the moment. They are navigational and volatile; this list captures the steady part of the demand.
The list holds 1,292 keywords with a combined 1,183,574,380 searches a month. The most searched are weather (506,000,000), hotels (151,000,000), bbc news (68,000,000), world cup (68,000,000), fox news (37,200,000), cnn (30,400,000), gas (30,400,000), gold prices (16,600,000), sports (16,600,000) and movies (9,140,000).
Advertisers pay most for economic inequality ($20.00 a click), indigenous rights ($15.50 a click), student loans ($10.71 a click), consolidation ($10.42 a click) and credibility ($10.25 a click). 27% of the keywords in the list cost $1 or more a click, which marks the commercial end of the niche.
The niche is seasonal: across the list, the busiest month carries 1.9 times the searches of the quietest. The trend column shows each keyword's own twelve months.
Volumes are global monthly averages from Google; CPC is the top-of-page bid in US dollars; competition runs from 0 (few advertisers) to 1 (many). Last refreshed October 2026. For any other keyword, the free search volume checker gives the same numbers, and the Keywords Everywhere extension shows them inside Google as you search.
