Google Trends - Potentially great tool.

[tm]

Google today have launched a new service, Google Trends.
http://google.com/trends

This will have excellent potential for webmasters to target where the majority of their upcoming traffic should be coming from. It's also useful for domainers when choosing extentions (.us or .co.uk?).

What are you're thoughts on this service?

I like it. I like how it shows the past event related to the keyword on a time scale.

Could get better though.

Thanks for the tip.

 

[edit]

I just wish it showed the figures, rather than just relative numbers. Sure one term looks to be four times as searched as the next ... but is that 8:2 or 8000:2000?

very nice..
I'll take a few days to study it, but I'm sure it will be very helpful

interestingly, it does not match up well with OVT numbers...fascinating stuff!

nice. I can only get the relative trend, what is the value on the vertical axis?

 

[chimaera]

cache, that's the point I was making - there is no value ... which makes it only half as useful as it could be.

Mind you, doubt Google want to release competitive data like that.

it overture gives you some value, why can't google do the same?

This could be a helpful tool for some domainers.
