google trends

anyone used google trends, was playing around with it and tried "foreskin restoration" surprisingly the country with the most hits was south africa then New zealand which is very surprising as the population is only 4.5 million and they searched for it about 25% more then the entire U.S. population

the word must be getting out over there

I find it more interesting that my hometown, San Francisco, leads all US cities in the same search.

Interesting that it is South Africa, following the HIV/AIDS false evidence. And I believe New Zealand has a doctor pushing hard for circumcision. At least the UK does rate in the figures despite a growing Moslem population!

As I understand it, Google Trends doesn't measure total traffic, but rather deviation from the norm for a specific time or place.

"TLC Tugger" could be briefly number one on Google trends if 1000 times the normal hits were comming in, even if the gross number of hits for "Paris Hilton" was outnumbering "TLC Tugger" by 100 to 1, because that might be an average day for Paris.

That's what they claimed on Howard Stern, where they regularly discuss the show's impact on Google Trends.
