What is America thinking about today?

I recently re-discovered this tool published by Google called Google Trends when doing some analysis to help one of our clients with some search engine optimization (SEO) and pay-for-click ads.

What is Google Trends?

Google Trends allows you to compare the world’s interest in any given topic. You enter up to five topics and see how often they’ve been searched on Google over a period of time. It also shows how frequently your topics have shown up in different Google News stories as well as in which geographic regions people have searched for them most. Sweet, eh?

Are you bored or trying to come up with an idea for your daily blog topic? The top 10 search trends show up on the main page, but click on “More Hot Trends” to see a larger snapshot of what’s on the public’s mind at any given moment by listing the fastest-rising searches for different points of time.

If you dig deeper there are advanced features like Trends for Websites and Insights for Search, which breaks down search data even more specifically.

This is an invaluable tool when considering search and online advertising options.

Posted in: 40D News, Blog by chris on August 4, 2008 | No Comments

Mailbox-IT International (weship-it.com)

This week we are launching the newest project of Mailbox-IT, Mailbox-IT International (weship-it.com). Their newest venture will fill a substantial need for international customers looking to make purchases in the United States from companies who don’t offer international shipping.

Their service will initially provide mail and package forwarding services to international clients. This will allow them to have an U.S. address for shipping. Mailbox-IT International will then consolidate shipments for the clients and ship them on to their international address via DHL. Mailbox-IT’s volume earns them discounts up to 55% off international shipping compared to public rates.

The site should provide Mark and Gary with the tools they need to get things off the ground. We wish them the best of luck!
