Trending the search volume on keywords can give marketing people tips on when to start spending more money on pay per click ads as the seasons change for products and services based on last year's numbers.

Tractors are not used as much in the winter as in the summer, so people are searching for tractor parts and vehicles during the summer. While people look for Christmas decorations during the winter.
