Google Insights for Search

Filed under: Keyword Research, Search Engines, ppc by mike |

Google Insights for Search is a great keyword research tool that deserves some attention if you are looking to spot trends and jump on them!

> Link to Google Insights for Search

There are a million ways to use Google Insights for Search – it has such great info, but let’s try to use it to help us build a campaign – whether PPC or Natural Organic SEO

Let’s say you want to promote a new product or CPA offer – simply go to Google Insights for Search and type in keywords relating to the product and note 2 columns in particular – Rising Searches and Top Searches (under search terms).

Change the settings to 90 days on Google Insights for Search so you can see the CURRENT trends (it’s set to a few years by default). This will show you keywords that are on the rise. Click those and you’ll be taken to more data. Keep track of the keywords and you’ll have an excellent list of “off the beaten path” keywords that are GROWING as opposed to drooping.

Also of note at Google Insights for Search is the “regional interest” data – I just searched for “affiliate marketing” and noted India is at the top above the USA! Hmmmm…. India might be ripe for some PPC traffic, possibly even at a good bid price.

Me, I have Google Insights for Search as a widget – gadget set up on iGoogle – so I can see at a glance what is going on for a few key search terms

So there are a few ways to use Google Insights for Search.

Here are some helpful links with more info on Google Insights for Search.

Thanks for the suggestion to switch to 90 days when using Insights. I’ve used this tool on and off and while I think that my results are pretty good, I’m still learning some tweaks.

Very useful stuff about Google Insights. Never heard of such thing before.

Comment by Humidifier — January 19, 2010 @ 11:18 pm
Google insight for search is really good one but it is not preferable if you are searching for keywords to rank for long time in search engines by using SEO to get free traffic.
I normally use adwords keyword tool which is simple yet amazing. I found that princess costumes get lots of search by using this tool and hence bought this domain http://disneyprincessdresses.com check it out

Comment by storesonline700 — January 28, 2010 @ 12:25 am
Great info Mike. Looking at the past year’s data (or longer), Google Insights is also very good for easily seeing the seasonal trends in various niches so that you can be better prepared.

Comment by Office Password Pros — January 29, 2010 @ 8:00 pm
That must be the most immature tool ever from Google. To start with it is presented to me in Finnish, a language spoken in my country but not MY language.

Add to this that the change language box is off-screen to the right, really hard to find and finally when I did find it, IT DOES NOT WORK. The drop down box drops up instead of down so half of it isn’t visible on screen and theres no way to use it.

Google FAIL.

Hi,

Google Insights for Search is a great tool, and there really are a lot of interesting insights you can gain from the data. I’ve been having a lot of fun with it.

Comment by customized bags — February 6, 2010 @ 9:16 am
I love using Google’s Insights for Search, as well their Keyword tool. Easy to use and free – what more can we ask for? I get good results with both. Great that you wrote this article Mike. I find that many folks still don’t know about these.

Comment by Donna Parker — February 22, 2010 @ 1:23 am
you know of somewhere that you can place free PPC ads… like instead of money maybe it uses a credit system? Just somewhere to practice that won’t cost an arm and a leg.
