Hoover's [recently] announced the latest edition of The Hoover's Index, a free, proprietary monthly index of the leading public and private companies, non-profits, and associations which represent the brand leaders, up-and-comers and "buzz" creators driving the U.S. and international economies.
The Hoover's Index, which reveals monthly spikes in company search activity, is based on a proprietary algorithm that takes into account the search trends of business professionals, including both organic and internal searches on Hoover's site, as well as business-related searches conducted via major search engines. Movement above and below index determines ranking, instead of gross search volume.
