Marissa Mayer from Google explained that last year, the iPhone didn't exist, which is why it wasn't typed too often in search boxes.

With Yahoo! having released its top ten searches for 2007, Google can't be far behind.

The company has announced top search keywords that dominated Google searches the whole of this year.

And, Apple's iPhone emerges clear winner. Marissa Mayer from Google explained that last year, the iPhone didn't exist, which is why it wasn't typed too often in search boxes.

The iPhone was launched earlier this year, and is now on sale in countries including France, Germany, and the United Kingdom.

Notching second place on the list is Webkinz. Incidentally a stuffed animal, people can register on the Web site, and play online with Webkinz.

Celebrity news Web site, TMZ bags third place, while Transformers comes in at number four -- thanks in no small measure to this year's hit movie of the same name based on these wildly popular toys.

Cutting in at number five is Google's own video sharing Web site, YouTube. While Club Penguin, a networking site for children, makes it to sixth spot.

Slot numbers seven, eight, and nine go to social networking site MySpace, Heroes, and Facebook respectively.

Just about making it to number ten is Anna Nicole Smith, thanks to all the controversies surrounding her death.

Google has also released a list of the fastest-rising global search terms, and interestingly, Apple's iPhone tops that one too.
