I’m often use service from Alexa, but I think it not objective. Therefore it’s great info for me. Thanks!

I’m trying to use it for a while, but I didn’t see much use… my web site exist for more than a year, but the Trends show me only 2 months… and no data for half of it…

Great feature I think.
I’ve checked my site, but it’s nothing to see. At least now.

@Warenwirtschaft It's one thing for them to use the data internally, and another to use my data so my competitors can keep tabs on me. That is the kind of behavior that might directly lead to my choosing a competitor's product over their own. I'm truly mystified by this new product.

@Josh Klein
How can you still trust the “do no evil” slogan? What do you think google does with all the analytics data? It is a free service and of course they dont do it for your benefit. They offer this service to get this kind of data and now they use it.

Nice, I wonder how accurate it is. Hopefully it’s not as inaccurate as the other guys, but since so many people use Google and Google products, I’m sure it will at least be a little better than Alexa, Quantcast, Compete etc..

Two thoughts:

This seems a rare “me too” product from Google. What unique value does this provide? I’ve seen this data from Alexa, Hitwise, Comscore, and Compete.com.

More importantly, this service makes me deeply uncomfortable. We run Google Analytics on a myriad of commercial websites, and our traffic data is proprietary. I’m a Google fan, and largely trust the “do no evil” slogan, but I don’t think I’m being paranoid by challenging the wisdom of this black box service.

Where are they getting this data?

If someone could search Google Trends for “Josh Klein” and found out Pizza was high on my list, I’d wonder how much of my Gmail was being read against my wishes.

Question I just posed on Twitter: Do you share data with Google Analytics in settings? If so, with Google only and/or Anonymously? Google Trends for websites is using this opt-in data. Wondering what the community thinks the best practice is here. A search for google.com doesn't return any trends. Gosh, they have trends for all the other search engines, even the small ones.
