How can i track a number?

How can I track the number of times a certain phrase is searched on google?

• I would like to see if there is a way I can track the popularity of certain phrases that people do searches on. For example, I would like to see how many times the phrase "cheap oneway travel" has been searched today/week/month, etc. Does this tool exist? If I cannot obtain these reports for Google, which search engines make this info available?

  Hi there, Google ------ Google Adwords have a number of tools for their customers to help them estimate what their ads will cost. Once an ad is up and running, Adwords reports detail the number of ad impressions and click-through rates for each keyword you have chosen. If your target market covers all countries and languages, then this a way of getting accurate data on the number of Google searches done on a keyphase. The downside is that you must be running an ad targeting that keyphrase.
