• You can tailor which field you’re interested in, so that Google will only show you what’s trending in that field.

• You can also search for a particular term to see how that is trending over time in Google searches.
• Let’s look at the search term ‘LinkedIn’.

• One thing we start to notice is seasonality.
• At the end of every year, there’s a dip in popularity – because most people aren’t working and aren’t checking LinkedIn.
• You can hover over any point of the trend line to get an exact date.
![Page 11: How to use GOOGLE TRENDS](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022020411/5886cd451a28abcc7d8b78c3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• You can also compare two search terms.
• Let’s add the search term ‘Myspace’
![Page 12: How to use GOOGLE TRENDS](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022020411/5886cd451a28abcc7d8b78c3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

• If you add ‘MySpace’ to the search, you can see that it continues (all these years after its failure) to lose traffic.
• LinkedIn, on the other hand, has increasing traffic.

• Now let’s take a look at ‘Facebook’
![Page 15: How to use GOOGLE TRENDS](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022020411/5886cd451a28abcc7d8b78c3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

• We can see that Facebook is in a clear but slow decline.
![Page 17: How to use GOOGLE TRENDS](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022020411/5886cd451a28abcc7d8b78c3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• Unless we change the location to China, instead of the USA.

• China seems to be keeping its interest in Facebook, despite the fact that it’s not an available service there yet.

• Let’s go back to the USA.
• But let’s change the time frame. Instead of the last 4 years, let’s change that to since 2004 (Google’s data limit).

• Facebook is in the decline phase of its product life cycle.

• Google Trends also shows us which search terms are ‘Break outs’ –which means they’ve had a sudden burst in searches.
• Google will show you break-outs related to you chosen search term.
• Let check the break-outs for Facebook.

• ‘Facebook Espanol’ is breaking-out. Why?
• If we do a quick Google Search under News, we find that Facebook is moving into the digital currency space in Spain.
• That news it generating interest, and an increase in search.
