Google trends is a good place to know what people around the world are searching for and one can also compare different terms for search and get a single graph to analyze which search terms are more popular. Though one does not get the absolute number of searches made on a search query, but one can get the relative search data for different queries.
I found it interesting to compare the search terms – ‘Denim’ and ‘Jeans’ for the year 2008. As expected the term ‘Jeans’ is much more popular – almost 8 times more popular ! . Thus the number of searches made worldwide for ‘Jeans’ is eight times more than that of ‘ Denim’. Also the most interesting to note here is that Australia as a country tops the search queries for ‘Jeans’and close behind is ‘ USA’. I did’nt know that Australians were so fond of ‘ Jeans’. However, as a city, ‘New York’ and other American cities stand first in search volumes .
