Well holy shit. Today at work I logged onto Google’s external keyword tool and low and behold…I got approximate NUMBERS for search volume instead of a crappy green bar graph that gives me no idea what the actual NUMBER of searches done are, just whether there’s little search or a lot of search.

I mean, c’mon - a bar graph? How many searches does it mean when the bar’s half way green? All the way green? Does all green = a million searches per month?  100,000 searches per month?

Or maybe somewhere there was a key or legend explaining that and in all my years of using this tool, I never realized.

Boy would I feel stupid.

Either way, nice job with the numerical data Google - it’s about time!
