Search History Per Search Engine

Is there a way to see search volume per popular search term

[shimp]

Hello,

Overture offers a keyword selector tool that shows the search volume for the prior month.... Is there a service or website that shows search volume per term for a given period or month in past history? I would use this to forcast sales volume on our website. We are seasonal and are in our slow times and if my memory is correct our search volume for some of our keywords more than triple in the next few months, but I am not sure of which terms do this per say. So if there was a service availble that gave history of the search volumes per month (period) this would be great.

Thanks for your help.
Jim

Hey, Shrimp. Is your site at least a year old? Do you have access to your site logs?

Mona...

Yes the site is a few years old. I am not sure what you are asking.

Means that you can check what keywords drove traffic to your site from your website logs.

if you are trying to guage seasonality, you should be able to see from your logs, the actual seasonal phrases and the increase in traffic from such seasonal keywords.

Cheers

Yep, exactly as davidwarmuz explained. Ask your website host provider how to access your site's logs. They can give you the url, user, and pass to access it. You'll find information such as monthly traffic to your site, key phrases that refer people, which search engines are referring people, and lots of other good stuff. Take some time getting to understand these things - they are extremely beneficial.
