Google has just added a new feature to the Trends tool. Unfortunately, it wasn’t what a lot of us were expecting: the search volume in numbers.
Now it shows how much a keyword is searched, in comparison to the average searches since 2004 until the time you perform the query. For example if today the keyword ‘iPhone’ has been searched two times more than the average times it was searched daily from 2004, Google Trends will show ‘2′.
Along with this, now you also have the possibility to download the trends as a CSV file. All you need is to be logged into your Google account.

Thanks for explaining with the example of Apple iPhone. It means Google Trends has taken year 2004 as a base year for comparison.

We all know that Digg’s algorithm is very complex and they are changing it frequently, so that spammers cannot get their stories popular. Digg states that all the content is only promoted by users and they have nobody implied in the process, but this doesn’t seem to be true.
