Make Money Online With Google Insights

Google has a new tool that indeed can help you make money online. It is called Google Insights. Using Google Insights can give you insight on which search terms are more popular than others. Additionally, you can find related press releases and web pages information based off your searches such as Pepperjam vs MarketLeverage. For me, I can quickly see how this can help me in my business of search engine marketing.

For me, it’s all about keywords and using Google Insights will tell me if Apple Macbook is more popular than Dell Inspiron and from there I can then use other tools such as Google AdWords Keyword Tool or Micro Niche Finder to find very targetable keywords for the more popular item.

One of the really neat things about Google Insights is if you look at the bottom of the page after doing a search, you will be provided with popular search terms based off your search. You can easily copy these terms and use them for later search engine marketing purposes, such as using them for tags, category names in your blog or even PPC campaign keywords.

Using Google Insights to bring you traffic

Article by Owen Henty from The Linux Blog

On Tuesday, August 5th, 2008 Google rolled out a new tool called Google Insights, which aims to give people an insight into what people are searching for. Now you may be saying or thinking that “Google already has a tool like that, its called Trends” and while Trends is a good tool, it is not the same as Google Insights.

There are a couple of things that I find useful in Google Insights. The first is the search terms. Lets take two search terms “Google and Yahoo“. The first thing you get after running the search is a pretty page. This is nice, but how can you Insights help me make money online? Take a look under the filters and search box you are presented with a nice graph. This graph shows interest over time.

This can provide you with a visual to see what the traffic is compared to another term, thus showing you what interest there is. As we can see from this graph both Google and Yahoo have steady interest, but did you notice that Yahoo has more interest than Google? The ‘trend” from this graph is rather interesting.

Now lets assume we know how many unique visits we get from the term “Google” because we are ranked #1 in the SERP. Over to the right of the page you should see a bar chart with your two search terms “Google” and “Yahoo” Now, if you know the traffic of one, you can estimate what the traffic of the other might be by using your judgment.

The regional interest is of some interest to people marketing online. For example, some one was offering translation services in an SEO forum for a reasonable price. I paid $15 to get three of my best articles translated into Italian, it was kind of a spare of the moment thing. When I type in my search terms in Google Insights you’ll get a regional interest indicator. This can be handy to check out if there are other countries or regions that have more interest for your term.

Should you be using the same sort of advertising methods for this term? Should you be writing or getting articles translated in order to score some international traffic? Thats up to you. The regional interest can be especially useful if you are trying to sell advertising space on your site. Find an area where that search term is hot and see if you can find advertisers in that area. You can even break Insights down by country and city.

Finally for this article there is one more section. The related search terms, some times its just hard to rank for the big terms like “Google”. This is where the Top searches and rising searches come in. You can use these tools to get an idea of what other keywords to go after. The rising searches can also be useful to figure out the next big trend!

So what are you waiting for? Jump over to Google Insights Search and start using it today.
