I'm still in awe no one has posted this.. are we not domainers? Hehe. JK. But seriously, Google trends is finally up after being in maintenance mode for the last couple hours. I am pretty happy about the new design + easier showing of stats. http://www.google.com/trends
Heh, neat. Wish I had a candy close to my hands to share it for you, just like you shared this information with us
looks better but i wish they disclose the exact search number along with it. Could have been very handy
Even though they don't give exact numbers you can always add another search term to use as a baseline. You can use up to 4 terms at once separated by commas. Just add one where you have a good idea of the search volume for a site you run that has top rankings, or for a term you use Adwords on. Adwords will of course give you precise numbers if your ad consistently lands in top 10.
