Google Insights for Search Adds More Languages, Forecasting, ResearchBuzz (Aug 20)
Google Insights is an excellent tool for looking at the use of a search term or phrase over time and geographically. A recent enhancement has given it a forecast feature too - with a dotted line to 2011.
Tara Calishain describes how she uses this tool as a searcher - "Instead I use Google Insights for Search to get a history of a query — did a search term have a particular time when it really took off? What were the search results for it right before then? Google Insight also has lists of related topic and related rising searches. Sometimes these help me decide how I want to refine a query, especially when using alert services."
