Google launches Search Trends Tool

May 11th, 2006

Google has just unveiled a new tool for us all intersted in search traffic trends.

The tool named as Google Trends, aims to provide insights into broad search patterns.

“It is based upon just a portion of our searches, and several approximations are used when computing your results. Please keep this in mind when using it,” the Google web site says.

The best part is that it offers flexibility of studying the trends based on data spread over a long period of time if that’s what a user is looking for. For search engine optimizers like me, the last month’s traffic trends provide a lot of insight particularly when we have at our disposal also the regions where these searches originated.

What say you, guys? :-)
