Everyone who uses the internet knows about Google. This company has revolutionized the way we find information on the web. For every topic or idea you have, you can find something about it on the internet using Google’s powerful search engine. The word Google has become so popular that it is often used as a verb.

Google maintains statistics on every search performed on their site. This information provides interesting insight into how we search, and what we search for the most. Google has allowed us to view this information through a service called Google Trends.
