Google helps predict hot search topics
Google has developed a formula to predict the hot topics of online search in what promises to be a boon for companies wishing to target ads that accompany search results on the Internet. Engineers at Google’s laboratory in Israel came up with a forecasting model, while the study of past and current search patterns are reliable clues to what people seek online in coming months. The findings resulted in a new function of the forecast this week for analysis of search in Google.
“We see many search trends are predictable, Yossi Matias, Niv Efron, Yair Shimshoni and the Google Labs in Israel, wrote in a message on the California titan’s website online. “We characterized the predictability of a number of trends on the basis of their historical development.”
Google Trends is a free online search shows what subjects are gaining in popularity or collapse. Outlook for search uses the same data, but is designed for advertisers and researchers who want to deepen. More than half of the most popular search queries on Google are predictable to the extent that a year earlier, with a margin of error of about 12 percent, according to the laboratory engineers Israel.
Categories such as health, travel, food and beverages are particularly predictable, while searches in connection with the entertainment and social networks have proven more difficult to predict, the team said.

Google Trends is a good tool, but so is Insights. I’ve found it quite handy.
In addition, I would suggest monitoring several social bookmarking sites to get a broader idea about what people are talking about. A little extra never hurts!

SEO has always been about taking a holistic approach to promoting websites with search engines. It’s about gluing everything together to provide the whole package, after all what’s link building without targeting the correct keywords on the site? What’s targeting the correct keywords unless sites are technically well built?

As with every tool that Google provides, you have to apply it regularly and read between the lines. Google is great for giving you just enough information to take a course of action, but finding out if it is the right course can only be determined after you have travelled it, not before.

Google really booms people when it launches its new features. Very well, it has always been one of the leading useful tools for seo. This idea of Google is great but I am still confused for some things. One thing I am in question is that, ‘How accurate Google predictions are?’
But, as what I’ve said, it booms people when it launches its new features. I will await for a while to see whether this ‘Google trends’ will answer my questions as I am on my way in trying this particular Google feature.

I like Google’s Real-Time search, it is just the beginning, they will find ways to set spam filters I am sure down the road to avoid having irrelevant updates show up on the front page of Google’s SERP’s. Just my opinion…
But the best thing about Google’s Real-Time Search results is the fact that you can tweet something and be on the front page of google seconds later, just gotta keep tweeting popular terms that people search for!
