Google Trends

[John]

Has anyone checked this out yet? I was really hoping we'd get to see some actual figures on the search terms.

Yeah, I made a post about it on my blog. I think Google has their reasons not to release exact numbers. You could guess by putting in a search term you know gets X amount of traffic and comparing it with something else.

This is funny as, you can find out what words are popular around the world.

Type in sex for example and you can see which country is the home of the most devo's (I was just doing it for research purposes).

Porn seems to be a very popular search term for my home city - Brisbane. Geez I didn't think I had been searching that much.

Or on a serious note for web publishers check out ipods, and find out where most searches are coming from (regions and cities) and target your campaigns. Another interesting one is Meso..

I seriously spent hours messing with it. What a great tool.
