 Of course, the internet is not just for games and entertainment. We also use the web to find information on anything from recipes to real estate. Then there are holidays, products, sports, names and thousands of other categories. One could spend a whole day playing around with this tool. What’s even more interesting is that these only represent the search volume on Google and not all those wonderful sites Google partners with to showcase ads, nor does it represent Bing, Yahoo and all the other search competition. The key to successful marketing online is to understand keywords and consumer’s behaviour.
