Google offers free search analysis tool

Cory Bergman August 6th, 2008

Today Google launched “Insights for Search,” a free tool that allows you to estimate search volume on various keywords — more specific data than Google Trends. But before you get too excited, it doesn’t return the actual number of searches for keywords you provide, but a number between 0-100 that represents popularity over time. But the real payoff here is comparing search terms (separate them with a comma), and even breaking them down by region and category. Good information to help improve SEO and SEM.
