Anyone know if the graph accounts for increases/decreases in Google's overall traffic or its index size?

- pierrefar 16y agoThat was my first question, so for now, I'm thinking of it as useful for analysis of only short time frames. The assumption here is that in a given 3-month period, the volume of searches is probably sufficiently similar. This would break down near the end of the year in the USA when the volume of searches goes up as people shop online.

I'd guess that the normalization process also applies over time as well, i.e. they compare the number of searches you're interested in vs. the total number of searches within that population.
