Internet Traffic ?

[Seashell]

Ever notice there are some days it seems like everyone is on Google and there are other days when traffic seems to be off ? Are there any sites that index the traffic of searches from day to day ?

There truly seems to be a pulse to the internet. If we have a bad 2 or 3 days, I'll talk to some of my vendors and competition and they have the same lull in business - Same goes for a boom period. When we are busy- everyone else is too. Sometimes it seems like its all or nothing.

It would be nice if there was somewhat of a DOW type index for the internet so i could compare my analytics agasint something else.

Have you tried Google trends? That's a pretty good "Dow" for a particular keyword.

For example here is a trend for "dog training"

Jack, is there anything you want to tell us? LOL

[Jack]

Naw, I just thought it might be a good replacement for "dog training". Come on, let's spread the word.

I hear the adult diaper market is tipped to be a multi-billion dollar industry by 2014. Something to do with the senility being experienced by millions of Americans who can't seem to train their dog properly.

LOL

Hmmm, I must have missed the inside joke about dog training. But, yes, Google Trends is what I would recommend.
