2 Years ago, when Google Trends was introduced, it was proposed to be a tool that tracks the most searched for keywords. It became so popular that they added a new tool a year ago called "Hot Trends" which shows the top searched keys on google right now. Now they have introduced a new tool for websites that gives you a view of how popular that particular website is. It also gives a comparison and ranks the site visits across the world, and also its related websites and searches. There is also many options if you want to zero in on any particular region or any particular time period.

This tool allows you to find out the number of unique visitors that visits the website over a period of time. But this tool supports only domains with some decent traffic. Therefore all blogspot blogs and the free wordpress blogs are ruled out and no data is provided for these blogs. Therefore I checked the tool with some popular news websites. It is amazing. Check the results of yourself.

Google has now stopped accepting new registrations for Google Pages. Existing users though need not worry, they can still continue using this product.

All your files, images and web pages stored in Google Pages however will get shifted to Google Sites later this year. This may cause a problem for people who are using its links in their websites as it will lead to broken links since Google Sites have a different URL structure as compared to Google Pages.

However a big difference between Google Pages and Google Sites is that Google Pages lets you upload externally created HTML pages which is missing in Google Sites. Thanks Amit.
