Google trends is a quick way to do research to see what people are searching for online. So if you're an affiliate trying to decide whether to promote ipods or VoIP, type in both terms separated by commas. You'll get a side-by-side comparison of both (VoIP by a long shot). It will also provide news items about the search term.

Use the tabs below to see what cities, regions, or languages where the term is most popular. Affiliates are getting into international markets. This is a great tool to see where to focus and to further research on promising search terms.

The data is not based on all searches, but it's a sampling. Still, it's free and is a great way to get a snapshot view.

Be aware that the order that you put your terms in (2 words or more) brings different results.
