After launching Google tendency in 2006 to great ostentation, Google has been busy development additional bed that help users good view the world's Internet activities. Google tendency for Websites is the newest tool in the shed. It lets people see just how popular individual websites are by ranking them across different geographical regions and comparison them to other related sites. This article will cover the pros and cons of Google's latest web tracker.

In case you were wondering, Google tendency is one of the tools being explored in Google Labs. In a nutshell, it show data about how often a hunt term is entered relative to the total figure of searches and across various geographical regions from the beginning of 2004 to now. The first thing you'll notice is a line graph; nevertheless, below that you'll find different break downs based on part, city, and linguistic communication. You can refine the data in the graph by part and time time period while comparison up to five hunt terms at a time.

One of its more interesting applications is using the "News mention volume" graph to see how particular events or times of year affect search popularity. Unfortunately, I'm authorship this article the day after legendary comedian Saint George Carlin passed away, so his name is the most popular search term for June 23, 2008. Similarly, a hunt for certain holidays, like Ramadan or passover (Passover), will show peaks during their respective seasons.

Its graph screen the past 24 hours and it shows the latest news articles, blog posts, and web hunt results. Using both tools, you can see how run a query of Ramadan in Google Trends would show the term peaking around the end of September/early October in each year. It would also show up on Hot Trends whenever the official start of Ramadan happened to be that year.
