Blog Icon Insights Marketing With Google Insights for Search

Posted in Search Engine Optimization, Search Engine Marketing by Dave on October 28th, 2008

Insights for Search is a fantastic tool released by Google that provides a wealth of search related data and information for internet marketers and SEO’s. Insights for Search allows you to easily compare search volume patterns across specific regions, categories, and time frames. The information provided in the search results is a goldmine for affiliates who might be running seasonal campaigns, geo-targeted campaigns or if you’re just looking for targeted keywords to add to an existing campaign.

As an example, let’s look at how Insights for Search could be used for a “Halloween Costumes” campaign. In this example, I’ve set the search to compare by search terms, entered “halloween costumes” as the search terms and set the search filter to Worldwide -> 2004-Present -> All Categories. Glancing at the screenshot below, we can see several useful bits of information that could be utilized in our campaign.

As you can see, search volume for “Halloween Costumes” starts rising in July and August and spikes in September and October each year with searches going flat in November. To the right of the traffic graph, you can see the leading news stories from each year which contain several keyword ideas such as WWE Halloween costumes, Divas Halloween costumes, fancy Halloween costumes and last-minute Halloween costumes.

All of this information could be saved for future use if you were planning on running the same campaign from year to year. On the other hand, if you’re doing SEO work for a website that is marketing costumes, the information can invaluable for optimizing pages for a seasonal spike in traffic.

If that’s not enough, Insights for Search also returns a wealth of related search terms as seen in the screenshot below.

Of particular interest might be the breakout search term “2008 halloween costumes” which doesn’t appear in the Google Adwords Keyword Tool because apparently Insights for Search has a hook into fresh, trending data that is not represented in the Adwords Tool. All of the other top 5 keywords are not found in the Adwords Tool as well, which shows that Insights for Search could be utilized by PPC marketers to get the latest keywords for their campaigns as well as organic SEO experts who want to setup longer term taps into Google search results.

While I’ve only touched on some of the most obvious uses for Insights for Search, you can see how this could be one of the coolest tools Google has ever released for both marketers and SEO’s alike. If you haven’t tried it already, visit the link below and give it a test run…

    Great information. I can think of a lot of uses for this tool.

  3. George on October 29th, 2008

    Why does Google make so many diff serp tools? I think they would be better to put all the tools into one location.

  4. George on October 30th, 2008

    Nice post on using Google insights. This is the second post in recent days that I have seen about using Google insights. I am going to have to use it in my market research.

  5. Ceri Davies on October 31st, 2008

    That looks like a great product. Is it free to try?

  6. Phillip on November 1st, 2008

  8. Steven on November 6th, 2008

    Another valuable tool from Google; personally I use them all and have fantastic results. And… it’s free! Hope it will stay that way.

  9. Sammy Indrajaya on November 9th, 2008

  10. Justin on November 10th, 2008

    This is a great tool. Has already helped for several of my campaigns.

  11. Jack Clarke on November 11th, 2008

    Thank you, this is a brilliant tool and has helped me pull some keywords I had not imagined.

  12. Eric Richardson on November 13th, 2008

    Great info and a great tool. Thank goodness its free also. Good stuff.

  13. Stuart on November 14th, 2008

    I’ve never understood the whole nofollow thing. People want you to comment on their blog, giving them free content, but are unwilling to give you something in return. Smacks of selfishness to me!

  14. Peter Jones on November 15th, 2008

    Hi, I am starting with affiliates and never thought about such a great tool. Thanks for that.

  15. Traffic Generation Tips on November 15th, 2008

    Excellent content…keep up the good work!

  16. Joe Green on November 16th, 2008

    Thanks very much indeed for that information, Dave.

    For seasonal products, such the halloween one, it would help new marketers in realising how soon they should begin marketing their product.

    I’m going to look at how it can help with a free ebooks site for myself, although I am not the best at interpreting data.

    Thanks again
    Joe

  17. Busby SEO Test on November 19th, 2008

    Thanks Dave, I use this tool also, and you write about Insights for Search very clear

  18. PPC Advertising on November 21st, 2008

    Google is still the best. Hope they still keep their slogan..”don’t be evil” by always provide useful tools like this one

  19. Carrie on December 3rd, 2008

    Thanks for the post. I didn’t have this tool bookmarked, and I have a few terms I want to look up tonight. A lot of my niches are seasonal, so this definitely helps.

  20. Ed on December 9th, 2008

    I agree, google still has most of the market. But I will definetly have a look at this tool.

  21. Steve on December 15th, 2008

    Yea I have been using this tool with Google for ages now. It’s actually brought in most of my fastest online income.

  22. Steve on December 15th, 2008

    I use this tool since it is available and I can’t say more than: great! It delivers plenty of useful information and is a great tool to choose your keywords. However, you won’t find niche keywords because they’re not showen (at least for German search results)

  23. David Black on December 17th, 2008

    I have recently started my own blog and hopefully sometime in the very near future will be able to use it for affiliiate marketing. This tool sounds like something i will try out when that time comes.
    Great work and many thanks.

  24. Nupo on December 22nd, 2008

    In combination with the Adwords Keyword Tool this is great.

  25. Sabac on December 26th, 2008

    I am wondering why this was still hidden to me. I think this is as beneficial as Google Alerts(I love this tool until I discovered it) and I am going to bet that this is going to be another lovely Google Tool for me.

  26. Sean on January 1st, 2009

    Thank you for an informational read. I’ve never even heard of Google Insights until now :p I’m definitely going to give it a try.

    Thanks

  27. Mike King on January 2nd, 2009

    Thanks so much for outlining this tool and the information about it. I had never heard of it but can see how useful it will be for advertising and some SEO. It continues to amaze me how many tools that google has and never seem to make them known. I don’t know why they don’t put these in the google labs section or something so they are easier to find out about.

    Thanks for the article and tip!
