Looking for product ideas? Want to know what the latest trends are?
If so, Google has taken care of you with two similar tools:
Google Trends will tell you the hottest topics people are searching for. Definitely useful to jump on the latest craze. They provide some interesting data on the search terms such as how popular the term is over a span of time. It will also show you news stories on these keywords which often triggers the spike in the amount of searches on a particular keyword.
Google Trends for Websites is similar but will let you know what other websites and keywords people are looking for that visit the site. So for instance if you are in the market selling pet products and you type in petsmart.com it will bring back a list of other terms people search for that visited that site.
In this case, a quick look shows me people that visit Petsmart also searched for dog crates in addition to other websites competing with them. Using this, one could look into dog crates a little more to see if there is enough market data to promote this product using affiliate marketing.
