MicroSoft wants your patronage BIG time! A new tool Keyword Forecast (still
beta) is a direct assault on Google Trends.
The graphs below are based on the keywords mp3, ipod, and zune
Keyword Forecast tool ( http://adlab.msn.com/ForecastV2/KeywordTrendsWeb.aspx) provides slightly different information than Google, with an obvious slant toward marketing.
Demographics is the big differentiater here. While Google Trends ( http://www.google.com/trends) gives you the events and geographic locations that shape traffic, MSN focus is on Gender and Age groups patterns (very cool).
One more feature of Keyword Forecast, as the name implies, is a short range prediction of traffic (also pretty cool)
So which tool do you use?…
BOTH
Why not get data from two different sources? Both absolutely free and
a great addition to your arsenal of keyword research tools.
God Bless the Geeks
