No matter what you are trying to sell it does no good to market to those who are not interested. It is non productive, time consuming and unprofitable. That is why major companies spend large amounts of advertising expense such as surveys to find out what people want and are searching the Internet for.
In the world of www that is key word searching in the search engines. Certain keywords and phrases are being typed into the search bar in attempt to find either a product, a service, information and other things you would not have considered yourself. Keyword phrases are used extensively and many times are misspelled repetitively.
For example, someone may be looking for a way to make extra money on the Internet and not build a business. They would most likely type in such words as “Internet work,” “work at home job,” “surveys,” “data processing,” “paid surveys,” “work at home mom.” Many of these would bring you to one of the most successful and oldest survey companies on the Internet that will provide you with a large list like, “Paid surveys” which is most of the time at the top of the list of these companies in reputation.
However, with the Internet you can target not only one country but different countries. You can do a research and find out what others are looking for throughout the world. The results may surprise you. This gives you an opportunity to target market more than just one product. Now that is awesome and I think you will find the following very interesting also.
With the help of Google Trends I was able to come up with the most interesting statistics below. What you see are the top 3 countries in which Google searches come from for the given term I high lighted in bold. From this information one can get a targeted understanding of just how interested different countries of the world are in what they are looking for. Some of the information is quite revealing and surprising, such as the Herpes problem in the US, Mexico and Peru, the Aids problem in South Africa, or the sex crazed Internet users of India.
