I'm a moderator of one of the bigger Facebook advertising groups that exist. This caught my eye instantly as the e-commerce and affiliate crowd are going to be all over it. They love being able to catch trends relatively early. This product is ready made built for flavor of the moment marketers.

That's awesome to hear! If I were to build Trennd towards these e-commerce guys, what would you improve/add/change to make them love it?

  For sure. So shorter term. They're going to want to move faster than 3 months. Maybe like a past 30 day trend if possible? I would say also if there's a way you could dig into Alibaba and see if there's a bunch of new items of the same type getting listed recently that would be extremely interesting for them as well.

    Last 30 days - got it! That's an interesting angle regarding Alibaba. The hard part might be automatically grouping similar items, but definitely can see the huge value in this.

  When I was doing affiliate marketing a decade ago, what I did manually was watch informercials and jot down the names of all those products. Then manually run searches in Google Trends to see which ones were spiking, and create content for those products (ie reviews, guides, etc). Here's an example of a product that really took off after they did an informercial in 2006: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=almighty%20cleanse https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=almighty... . I created a page for this product and was ranked #1 instantly. Because nobody else was writing about it. I stopped doing affiliate marketing so don't know what people do now, but just throwing you some ideas.

    Per the discussion above, this seems to be a pretty spot-on ID of one of these "flavors of the day"...!

not sure i agree so much because its not showing things that are just starting to trend, which is where the real money is at... being in front of the ball rather then behind/beside it. best i can tell this service just shows you the search volume history from about 1100 select terms that anyone can already lookup using googles trend tools. id be much more interested to see terms each day whose search volume has increased 10x or something... that would be very useful for people trying to get in front of trends.
