It is amazing to see how much data Google actually holds and what they could do with it. You don’t always realise it, but it only hits you when they launch a new tool. Their new e-commerce trends tool is called Google Checkout Trends. The tool is similar to Google Web Search Trends, except that the Checkout Trends tool only aggregates useful sales data from Google Checkout merchants and charts the data on an easy to use, easy to read interface for the user to see. Basically, it shows users important trend data about who is buying and selling what from Checkout.
The tool only works for products that have enough volume to show graphs. So, it works well for popular products, like the Nintendo Wii, Playstation and Xbox. See it here!
