Google announced the release of Google insights for Search which provides more insight into search behavior, and adds some cool new features like a world heat map to graphically display search volume and regional interest.
Like Google Trends, you can just type in a search term to see search volume patterns over time, as well as the top related and rising searches.
The tool also allows for comparison of search volume trends across multiple search terms, categories (verticals), geographic regions, or specific time ranges.
This is a great tool to use to give an added dimension to your keyword research!
