Mahalo, the social search engine, actually managed to rank higher than the official Grammy Web site when it came to
performance-related searches. The property aggregated many clips of the performances, a likely boost in terms of blended or Universal search.
Meanwhile, InStyle.com was one of the only sites that leveraged paid search to capture post-Grammy interest, particularly for terms related to nominations and winners. In fact, they were the only site that showed up in sponsored links for the term "2008 Grammy awards"--a buy that likely should also have come from CBS.
