Google Trends out of Beta
Posted by Peter Dowse on May 13, 2006
Google has brought its Google Trends program out of beta, giving an insight into search behavior through worlds most used search engine. Google Trends enable a user to see a graphical representation of the difference between two search queries. Searches are shown in a timeline with relevant news items (taken from Google News) inserted at peaks.
An interesting addition is the ability to break down search trends into cities, regions and languages, giving users the ability to drill down, getting a more refined search result.
Google Trends does not give an amount on searches however; savvy marketers with the right tools can get a rough idea of amounts. Whilst this new addition to Google’s toolbox is not a definitive guide to the world’s searches, it will definitely help marketers and business owners get a little more insight to Google’s search data.
