Five cool things you can do with Google Insights

Google Insights is a very useful online tool allowing you to get search volume information about any topic. Assuming that "where there is search there is interest", let's explore how can we use Google Insights in interesting ways.

Darker areas on images represent places of high interest - bright areas represent no interest.

1. Looking for a job?

If you are looking for a job you can obviously use this tool to your advantage.

Good Salary

Typing 'good salary' into Insights, reveals that New Jersey looks like the place to be. You are better avoiding mid-west.

If you are worried about pollution, Oklahoma seems to be the place to go - based on lack of search for the topic.

5. Market research

Let's say you want to open a business, but you are not sure if you want to sell cars, furniture or tv.

There is still big interest for cars, but the market is steady, if not declining a bit. On the other hand, tvs are catching up and clearly trending upwards. There you go, tv store is a sure business in the US.

    Wouldnt it be that people searching for "Good Salary" are currently not getting one? if you were on 100k a year why would you search for "Good Salary" ??

    Of course salary is going to be higher in places like New Jersey and New York. You make more money because it cost more money to live there.

    The rest is neat though.
