What do people type into Google? Use Google Insights for search to find out...

My new best friend is Google Insights for Search, a new tool by Google that gives us clues as to what stuff people are searching for and the breakout trends.


To use Google Insights for Search, just type in any word you think of, like how I typed in "Google" here, and see what's trending down to the right-hand side.


You can see I set up my search to find out what people are typing in related to "Google" in the past 30 days, only in the US.


And a bunch of info about the new Google Chrome browser pops up.


I love it.

This a handy tool! I feel that too many site owners do not do enough research into potential terms for their sites. They tend to stick with the ones that they know they would type in, but that leaves out so many potentially good phrases.

This is such a great tip, Paula. I discovered Insights recently and have been using it a lot. But I have seen very little about it in forums and blogs. I think many people are not yet aware of it. I find it to be extremely useful and quick.

Great tip Paula!

Long time no see , hope all is well with you?

:-)
question, how do you enter these terms into blogger tho as a meta term, or will this work as well just as a key word in the bottom of the post?

Hey Lisa -

How are you?

Yeah, if you want to add keywords to your meta tags you can right-click anywhere in the blank space of a website, choose "view source" to view their source code, and then search for "meta" to see how they've entered their meta tags near the top.

But I don't necessarily recommend you put them there.

Study WatchFreeEpisodes.com, right click and look at the code and see how I SEO my posts.

Also, I love the All-in-One SEO pack plugin for WordPress. I believe that helps a lot.

Thank God!

Since I'm fascinated with how much money bloggers and webmasters are making nowadays, I've created a similar list -- a random sampling of people making money on the net.

FIND OUT HOW MUCH BLOGGERS REALLY MAKE ONLINE -- CHECK OUT THIS NEW WEBSITE ABOUT MONEY-MAKING ONLINE CALLED 50 OVER $50K... by Paula Neal Mooney The time has come. The time is now. Paula N. Mooney will you please publish that list now?! (Yes, I fancy Dr. Seuss' iambic pentameter.) My WebMaster blest me with a viral post called "Paula's List of Blogger Salaries," and the response was so wonderful, here lies an update. It's bigger and better than ever before with more pics, and double the amount of bloggers, webmasters, domainers, affiliate marketers (or a smidgen of some or all of those titles) and their reported incomes. How Much Do You Make? Money is funny. The abundance of it, the lack of it, the subject of cash in general gets attention. While some invoke their choice not to post their online income nor discuss it at all, I've always been of the Suze Orman mindset ever since I read her first book. Suze encourages people to talk ab...

UPDATE - I can't do it. Just as soon as I signed up with Tissa's people search engine, I cancelled. I just don't feel right about helping people find other people's addresses and phone numbers. AND THIS PRIVACY ISSUE IS GAINING STEAM. CHECK OUT THE CONTROVERSY BREWING OVER THE MYLIFE.COM PRIVACY SELLING ISSUES THAT TISSA USES TO PROVIDE THE PEOPLE SEARCH ENGINE INFO. I know I could probably make money with it, but it's just not sitting right with my soul. Back to the drawing board. I know better things await... I kept trying to rationalize that many people could use the people search engines for good purposes, like reconnecting with old classmates and finding deadbeat dads and such -- but the reality is that if just one person uses them for nefarious purposes, I just don't want to be a part of that. I wonder if Tissa would care if people found out the address of his fabulous home, and came a' knocking on his door? How I Bought a Brand New $1.2 Million Dolla...
