"Free Watch TV Online" Desires - Why One Website Logged 24 Million Unique Visits in April 2008 and How Other Websites Can Get There by April 2009

The term "free watch TV online" gets 3,078 searches per day, according to SEOBook.com's Keyword Suggestion Tool. "Online TV" gets even more, around 3,312 per day.

Add in "watch TV series online free" at 2,199 -- along with "watch TV online" at 2,078 and "free TV" at 2,120 searches -- and you're already over 12,000 searches per day.

But many people don't type "free watch TV online" nor "watch online TV" into Google.

Untold numbers of searchers looking to watch their favorite TV show online just plop its name into search engines - no doubt a good portion of the 3,524 who type in "Desperate Housewives" each day.

Websites That Provide Free TV Watching Online Will Grow in Popularity in 2009

At least ABC partially recognizes the desires of their "Desperate Housewives" viewers by loading several full and free new episodes online.

But ABC doesn't allow "Desperate Housewives" viewers to view only the clips they want. Remember that unexpected flash-forward of the Wisteria Lane women five years into the future? ABC provided no immediate way for viewers to solely watch that last two-minute clip at the tail end of their season finale.

The crazy-popular daytime show "The View" -- which reached a peak of 30 million viewers during Rosie O'Donnell's reign -- only offers short snippets of videos online, and usually a full day after they've aired.

Amazingly, Oprah's show -- which according to Oprah.com in 2005 -- "is seen by an estimated 49 million viewers a week" -- offers even fewer video snippets than The View!

(As a TV webmaster, I've had people begging to pay me to watch full Oprah show episodes online.)
