Searching For November Rain

Source

Hey Steemians,

It's been a few days since I scrobbled some thoughts. I have been up to my ears in nerd mode trying to get through the month-end storm. Which will probably be the only rain I will experience this November in the Cape! HOt weather and dry winds are what we'll expect for the upcoming months!

So Why Are You Searching For November Rain You Ask?

As the great Axl Rose said "It's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain", so why do I continue to search for it? The simple answer is I was presented with a challenge, and sooo I am meeting it.

Initially, i was going to take the creative direction, and explore the world of storytelling, but that didn't work, Nerd mode is taking over so instead, I am influenced by the day job, and I started to look at trends for this subject, which I found rather interesting! So I thought I would share!

For those of you that don't know, I'm an SEO by trade. Which basically means I'm a Google Search Professor. I help connect users to your offerings, and make sure you visible when they search for said offerings. And simple as it sounds, it requires a lot of technical effort and is a long-term process which requires me to channel both my nerd and marketing growth powers.

One of the elements we rely on is internet search behaviour, from users like you and I. And since nerd mode is now running in full force I take to looking at the trends for "November Rain" as a Keyword! And this is what I found!
