Well I typed up a few things into Google and here are my results:

Spoiler

When I search "applejack" on Google images only one result on the first page is the actual applejack's cereal


When I search "big mac" on Google images you'll find Big Macintosh on page 2


When I type "big m" big macintosh is the fifth result


When I type "flu" fluttershy is the second result


When I type "friendship i" friendship is magic is the second result


When I search "my" my little pony is the second result


When I search "pink" pinkie pie is the tenth result


When I search "rar" rarity is the first result


When I search "twilight" twilight sparkle is the third result


When I search "drop the bass" you'll find ponies on page 2


On a random search I did for "I think you're doing it wrong" I found Big Mac on page two


On a search I just did for a picture I'm working on. I searched "Slender man vector" and found Slendermane on page two.

As you can see we bronies have left quite an impact on the face of the internet, however there are a few results I found that were suprising:

Spoiler

When I search "friedship" on Google images it's not until page ten that we find any ponies

When I search "spitfire" it's not until page twenty six that we find our beloved wonderbolt

When I search "meme" it's not until page seventeen that we find a pony meme.
And perhaps the most disappointing is that when I search "twilight" on Google images there is no picture of Twilight Sparkle on any of the 417,000,000 results.
Also when I search "Marshmallow" you won't find Rarity anywhere

So what are your thoughts on this? And I'd love to see some more result images like I those I took. I'll also do any search requests you make.

I've also taught Cleverbot what a brony is. But I asked him/it what a brony is recently and it seems he's forgot

IMPACT ALERT! BRONIES ARE TAKING OVER THE INTERNET! ... And I'm ok with that. :3

[Starshine]

The only thing I'm afraid of is that when the future generation googled "ask tumblr" without any safe search on, brix will be shat.

Google search trend changes everytime big happened on the internet though. Search results in ten months from now can be very different.

I believe the proper term, in this case, would be hoofprint.

Ahh you're right. Oh well I can't change the title now

Woah! did you actually look through the 417,000,000 results? If so you are very dedicated.

Well I scrolled to the bottom of the screen and clicked the load more results button untill I couldn't go any further, so yeah I guess I did go through all the results but I'm not sure, I didn't count or anything

[SrFrog]

Holy crap! your right. That movie/book hijacked the word in Google, how is that even possible?

[Another Creative Username]

We're expanding, at one point, Twilight Sparkle was searched more on Google than the movie "Twilight".

[Krystal]

I suggest we spam Google by searching "Twilight Sparkle" over and over until it is the first result whenever someone types "T" WHO'S WITH ME!!!!!

[Veiled Enigma]

It isn't that surprising, but I guess it could be considered a great accomplishment. A bigger accomplishment would be to keep these "hoofprints" there for a few more years.

The sad thing is, we often tag her images with "twilight sparkle" not just "twilight", so it might take another few years for that

[SBB64]

Interesting, the fact that 'flu' can give you Fluttershy in particular- sick non-bronies everywhere curious about their disease have the potential to be exposed to her cuteness

Ahh you're right. Oh well I can't change the title now

Yes you can, just edit the first post you made here and you should have the option.

[The Grape Popsicle Guy]

I searched Ben Drowned and I got around 20 pony images. Like, what? >.<

Oh, and searching Celestia just comes up with planets. I didn't take the time to look for Princess Celestia.

Title changed. Thanx.

[PonyPrincess]

I will admit I have probably contributed to that!

I applaud you sir, for your tremendous efforts in that search area. Truly remarkable.

MLP fandom is at an all time high, and getting higher all the time. But I wonder when what is going up, is inevitably coming down. When will be the peak of ponies?

[ⓡⓐⓘⓝⓓⓡⓞⓟⓢ]

Yay! Bronies are going to rule the internet!!
Seeing the big mac burgers i am hungry now <(0.0<) (>0.0)> <(0.0<)

[Krystal]

I just did a search for "drop the bass" and here are my results

[NASCARFAN160]

*in contrast to the title*



Anyways, yeah, I'm surprised....well, not surprised at this point, more happy and proud at the progress we've made under the short timespan of....just 2 years. I'm excited to see what more impact we will have on the internet, and what we will do.
