So I had thought it was actually weekly, not 30 days.. But Google is every 30 days litterally. My appologies tho, WT truly is a great tool and I had no idea the data was that fresh! Hey Mal,

I read your article with interest, you've got some good points about the way that methods of attracting traffic that previously worked well may not be so effective in the coming years, and in some niches, real time search is going to be very important - many brands are now well engaged with their markets via social media (Twitter, Facebook - the list can go on...) which gives fantastic opportunity to respond in real time - I've found this myself while talking with Wordtracker customers on Twitter. The only point I'd like to raise is that Wordtracker's data isn't just 30 days old. While the US dataset goes back 365 days, new data is added every day, and this new data is between 16 and 30 hours old when it hits the servers. Many businesses can't depend on something that trends for 24 hrs and then drops off the radar - for example, people selling sledges (or snowshoes, or even skis) in the UK, due to the sudden massive glut of snow related issues here will have had a great window of about 48 hrs or so to capitalise on snow related searches. One of the good things with Wordtracker is that you get a form of input from reasonably fresh data, but you also get the opportunity to follow keywords and see seasonal trends, and prepare strategies accordingly, as well as the ability to see the longer tail. Like I said, though - you raise some good points there. All the best with your endeavours in 2010, Mal Hi Daniel,
