Squidoo: targeting your Squidoo lens

With Google Insights for Search, you can compare search
volume patterns across specific regions, categories,
time frames and properties.

In this way you can identify niches and specific
keywords that have the desired search volume and
potential profitability.

Google Insights for Search can be used to isolate trends
in specific categories such as health, business and sports,
identify trends by regions and cities and gain insight into
the impact of seasonality.

You can use this information to focus your affiliate marketing
plan, time your affiliate promotion or enter new geographical
markets.

You can also identify common months of the year when
sales of particular products trend upward across the
globe, e.g. digital cameras in December.

The numbers shown on the comparative graphs do
not represent absolute volumes of searches. They do reflect
how many searches have been done for a particular term,
relative to the total number of searches done on Google
over time. So you will see results ranging from 100
(top result) downwards to 0.

The results identified can then be vetted with other FREE
keyword search tools such as the
Google Adwords Keyword Tool:
