It's that time of year again and all good parents are about to go out looking for all the hot Christmas toys for their kids. It can sometimes be overwhelming. What are the hot Christmas toys? Where do I even begin to look? Thanks to the internet, the search has become a lot easier. Just go to Google and type in "hot Christmas toys." How simple is that?

Google will even give you list of suggestions as you type. One of the choices that pops up will be hot Christmas toys 2009. Click it! Now you will be taken to a list of web pages showing you just about every toy that is selling well or expected to sell well. Now your saying, "Great information! You just showed me how to do a search on Google. Like I haven't already done that a million times. I don't need to know how to do that."

Bear with me.

First go to another lesser know Google site called Google Trends. It's [http://www.google.com/trends]http://www.google.com/trends. Now type in "hot Christmas toys." You will be presented with a graph that shows Google's search volume for those key words. Notice that search for hot Christmas toys spikes at the end of every year. This means the search volume for those words are really increasing.

Notice the spikes each year are very similar. There are hardly any searches for hot Christmas toys until around August then the search drastically starts to rise and peaks around the end of November. After November the search drastically plummets until there is no more searching right at the end of December. My guess would be around December 25.

So what are your chances of getting a hot Christmas toy? That depends on where you are on the graph. If the graph is just starting to rise then you are in good shape. If the graph looks like it is about at its peak (compare it to the last years graph) then you chances are slim to none.

Now try the same thing with an actual item. For example last year Spike the Dinosaur was a really hot Christmas toy. If you do a search on Google trends for Spike the Dinosaur you will notice last year it spiked really high and if you look at this year it looks like it is starting to spike again.

At the time of this writing Spike's spike is just beginning. So if you are looking for Spike the Dinosaur, now is the time to buy before they run out, before the spike gets bigger. Try this in your search. If you see a spike starting it is probably going to be a hot item. How high the spike is currently growing will show you the demand.
