Garrett Valdivia has made a great tool for you which allows you to have Google search and trend results side by side by entering your phrase into the search box. This is a great tool, and truly in the spirit of the Thirty Day Challenge.
First of all watch the video here, the click here to install the search plugin.
You should also check out Garrett’s blog here
Thanks mate.

like Ed says absolutely brilliant!!
Do you know how to make the red adn blue lines under the graph show up on a B&W printer?

TOO COOL … thx TONS, Garrett !!!
This is a great tool, but google won’t let me in because it is saying it is a virus or spyware. So if the bugs get worked out that will be a great tool.
Garrett gets the Mr. Congeniality prize for 30DC - - thanks so much. As a newbie, this is a huge help. Very generous of you to share with us. KT
You’re my hero Garrett!
Cheers,
Lorne.
Hi Garrett!
Great job developing the search tool and thank you for sharing it!
Cheers,
Mike
[...] Note – Garrett of Tech Bites made an awesome search toolbar for us that will save time using google trends. Read the post and get the toolbar here http://www.thirtydaychallenge.com/blog/94/wordtracker-trends-tool/ [...]
Trojan horse, eh? I wonder if that has anything to do with the new servers…
Well, I absolutely did not put one in there. So maybe disabling your anti-virus while you install it would take care of the problem. Sorry for those of you who are getting blocked, sounds very odd to me.
Thanks for the great comments guys! Very appreciated.

Hi Garrett
Forget last message - must have been gremlins - all working perfectly now. Wrapped now !!!!
Thank you, thank you ! :))
For those of you getting blocked by Google, it’s probably because you’ve completed too many searches in a given time period. You’ll just have to wait or use a different browser. It happens anytime you do serious keyword research in a short amount of time. Google thinks you’re an automated program and they shut you down. But it’s only temporary.
[...] Garrett & PB’s tool have now been modified so that even if you’re outside the US they will to bring you the US search results. [...]
Add my thanks to the hub-bub. I’ve finally been able to get to this, and it installed beautifully. I did not have a green arrow either, but when I clicked on the little black arrow, it worked just as you said it would. Awesome!
Josie
Hi,
I am not able to install the toolbar.
Can you please help?
Thanks,
Edward Santosh
@Edward
Make sure you watch the video to see the install. It only installs one way.
If you have an error message though, let me know what it is.
-Garrett
Wow, fantastic! Wouldn’t have figured it out w/o the video!
Thanks!
Liz
so this is where the little bugger is located!
Ok….watched very nice JING PROJECT Video (I installed Jing but haven’t learned to use it yet, looks great) and you did a GREAT JOB, GARRETT!! Great easy to follow presentation!! Kudos! Thanks! That is so helpful! My fingers thank you…that is 10 thanks….had I more fingers, you’d get even more thanks!
@Garrett: checked out your blog and watched your video…great job! I love your energy vib and the ‘cuts’ and it was just a great job and wanted to give ya the feedback!
Cheers!
OMG! Yeah, I had all these tabs open and gosh, I hoped there was a more efficient way to do the keyword research. A great help
Thanks so much for this.
I installed this yesterday and have had no problems. What an awesome time saver. Thank you!
Ok I have tried the link in different browser and still only get the one line of text mentioned prior. Does anyone have it as download file that can be posted elsewhere.
Hi Rich,
When you click the link, you get a white screen that says “Automagically does a split-screen comparison of google phrase search and google trends (against MYI)”. I get the same thing.
Go up to your Google search in the top right hand corner & click the small drop down arrow beside it, which brings down the menu of different searches. That’s where you’ll see “Add TDC Comp and Trend”. Click that & you’re done!
Dear Garrett,
I have not been able to install the toolbar.
The ADD TDC COMP AND TREND does not come up.
Can you help?
Kelvin
This is a just great!
Dear Garett,
Great tool but only good for Firefox not Explorer right?
Regards
Pierre
Hi Garrett,
The link to install the search tool doesn’t seem to be working. I am using Firefox.
Regards,
Jon Lyles
Garrett,
Thank you for such a great tool.
Merci
Pierre
