How is Google indexing those date of 366 different days throughout the year?
Here is a graph which shows the number of pages those Google has indexed with the keywords of 366 different dates throughout the year. Before I collected all those data, I thought days like Christmas will have the greatest number of pages, but turned out the I was wrong!! The result is unexpectedly ODD!!

So, according to the data, these are the top days indexed by Google.
March 10, March 11, April 10, April 11, April 12, May 1-31, June 10, June 11, July 11, October 10, October 11, November 10, December 10
A Brief Analyse：
First, why everyday in May has a greater number of pages indexed compare to other months is pretty obvious. Because May is not only a Month but also a word and name.
But for other unique days, it is a different story.
It appears that those days are all 10th and 11th(‘cept April 12), what does this direct us?
Why 10 and 11?
I haven’t figure it out yet. Comment of discuss is welcomed!
And here are the codes that I wrote to fetch those numbers.
require "rubygems" require "mechanize" t=Time.now date=[] index=['January','February','March','April','May','June','July','August','September','October','November','December'] for i in 1..(index.size) f = [4,6,9,11].include?(i) ? 30 : 31 f -= 2 if i == 2 f.times {|d| date.push(index[i-1]+" "+(d+1).to_s)} end #puts date agent = WWW::Mechanize.new data = [] for d in date page = agent.get("http://www.google.com/search?q="+d) page.body.scan(/about\s<strong>(.*)<')[0].delete(','))} puts d end File.open('data.txt','w').write(data) puts "Completed in #{(Time.now-t).to_s}"</strong>
