An Anthropology Study Using Google Trends

Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

While struggling to determine which countries we should target our site to, we thought of using Google Trends to help us develop a better idea of who likes to read what and where. It was a total failure. But, instead, we were able to gather some fun facts about search trends in different countries.

Below are the results with our humble interpretation of what the trend might mean. Oh and for those of you not familiar with Google Trends, it is a service that returns the top countries that searched for some specific query. Enjoy…

      Trend: Emails
      Or where spammers are hiding.

      Trend: Sudoko

      Trend: Sex

      Trend: Double Kangaroo Scissor Kick

      Or where couch potatoes reign.
