Google Insights for Search: Crazy Data Delicious

By Paul Kedrosky · Wednesday, August 6, 2008 ·

I'm fallen down inside Google Insights for Search, and I can't get up. The newly launched service from Google is outrageously interesting, with fine-grained search term traffic data available across times and geographies. It's Google Trends, but crazy data delicious.

Here, for example, are two charts using "foreclosure" as the key term and U.S. as the market:

us-fore 

us-fore-2

And the same searches with Canada:

can-fore

can-fore-2
