WESTON SUPER MARE, England - Oct. 21, 2019 -Google Correlate - Keyword Research Tool Part of Trends

Back in 2008 my Director instructed me to open a Google Adwords account to get the word out as fast as we could to as many buyers as possible with their new product. I had a little experience with Adwords with the company I had previously worked with, and I used Google Trends as a keyword research tool at that time.

Google Trends

This is a neat little invention, I found it fascinating to spot new "hot" trends. Some of you may already know that I was deep in my hobby as a 12" vinyl DJ during this time and music was, and still is, a huge part of my life.

When Duffy - Mercy hit the charts at number 1 it stayed there for 5 weeks and was in the UK charts for a total of 57 weeks. Google Trends saw a huge spike and then a predictable dip as time went on.

Google Correlate is part of Trends

Visit Google Trends today and you can even see data for a year in Search so that you can view what was trending on Google by year back to 2001.

Searching for Duffy - Mercy in 2008 displays a popularity graph and related keywords. These related keywords are what helps when researching target Google search phrases for SEO ranking.

Google Correlate will shut down on December 15th 2019 as a result of low usage

This is where I feel that Google has failed at it's own marketing. Google Correlate was launched in 2011 to a small and short lived fanfare as a little brother of Google Trends.

It's no wonder it fell flat on it's face like the personal version of Google+

I can't see any real loss of this unless you can prove me wrong?
