Internet Marketing with Google Trends & Insight

May 25

There’s a lot of fun to be had with Google Trends. A public web facility of Google.com, Google Trends shows how often a specific search phrase is entered in comparison to the total search-volume across different regions of the world.

Google Trends can be so much more than just a cool way to see what other people are looking at. It’s a phenomenal tool for internet marketing. Realizing this, Google launched “Google Insights for Search” in August of 2008.

This public tool was designed specifically for internet marketing, allowing users to easily compare search patterns across any region, category, or time frame.

Google Insight can help you determine which keywords resonate best. This is vital information when attempting to market over the internet.

Data is displayed on a scale from 0 to 100, with each point on the graph being divided by the higest point of popularity. As Google puts it, “our system designates (the) peak as 100. Now let’s suppose that interest decreased significantly in December, where the next highest peak was approximately half of what it was in November. That peak would then be designated as 50, and so on.”

Often it’s not the most important phrases that are the most popular, and not knowing the most-used terminology can cripple your business. Both Google Trends and Google Insight can be exceptional tools in assisting you with your internet marketing.
