    Hello

    Can anyone explain how Google trends can be taken as a special tool to analyze the keywords actually getting traffic online

    since with multiple keyword research even some popular keywords like "search engine optimization company" seems getting no traffic as per Google trends

    Please check http://www.google.com/trends?q=search+engine+optimization+company

    Please comment

    I'm not surprised that few people are searching for 'search engine optimization company'. That is so long that I had to copy and paste it as it was too much to retype. A lot of the people looking for seo don't know the industry's terminology. The ones that do know the terminology would type 'seo' instead.

    I prefer to use the Google AdWords keyword tool as a way to compare keyword volume:

    I don't think google is really working on "google trends" its been in the lab for years. Just another good idea that has fallen by the wayside. Use the keyword tool Vansterdam mentions, google's been doing a lot of upgrades on it.
