Google Insights for Search, a new product designed with the advertiser
in mind. It provides more flexibility and functionality for
advertisers and marketers to understand search behavior, and adds some
cool new features like a world heat map to graphically display search
volume and regional interest.
Like Google Trends, you can just type in a search term to see search
volume patterns over time, as well as the top related and rising
searches. You’ll also have the ability to compare search volume trends
across multiple search terms, categories (commonly referred to as
verticals), geographic regions, or specific time ranges.
One way to test how many Internet users are searching for specific
keyword phrases is to use the Google Adwords Keyword Tool. By typing
in a phrase, the tool will show how many Internet users are searching
for specific keywords. The tool will also show related words and
phrases, which is a great way to come up with other related keywords
for PPC ads as well as SEO. Each row in the tool is a different
keyword phrase.
