As we’ve already noted, Small Business Saturday was a stellar day for media coverage related to small business.
After posting that item, a SmallBusiness.com user sent us the one-week trendline graphic displayed above. It demonstrates people using Google on Saturday dramatically spiked up searches for the term “small business.”

(Note: Google Trends measures the trajectory of a specific search term. Each data point is divided by the total searches of the geography and time range it represents, to compare relative popularity. Otherwise places with the most search volume would always be ranked highest. The resulting numbers are then scaled on a range of 0 to 100 based on a topic’s proportion to all searches on all topics.)
