Lets welcome, the latest offering from Google. Yes I’m talking about the Google Search Insights, a search tool which would be of immense help in Keyword research from the search marketers point of view.
Google insights for search provide deep dive statistics for keyword searches via volumes, countries drilling to seasonal and geographic trends and not to forget its a category wise option.
