Google Trends: this city is the "sex" search capital of the U.S.
Back at ya tonight and tomorrow with some serious VoIP stuff, but I try to do at least one "fun" post here a week on Friday. TGIF, ya know. But I don’t want to wait.
Well, as you know, Google Trends makes it possible for you to look up various search terms, and then get a proportionate rank of world and U.S. cities where users logging on from PCs in those areas have requested the specific search words or string.
I remember reading an article that mentioned some folks use search engines such as Google to look for content of a sexual nature.
With that in mind, I entered the search term "sex" into Google Trends and narrowed down the search field to specify U.S. cities only.
The city with the illustration at the top of this post is #1.
Hmm, maybe folks are becoming friendly in those bushes? Or, maybe that car on the left side of the image is parked in a driveway where liveth a "desperate housewife," if ya know what I mean.
If you follow me, I will tell you what that city is, and show you the top ten U.S. cities for Google "sex" searches.
OK, let me think…your significant other leaves you to take up with an in-town Chicago type, leaves you alone in your suburban abode with your browser pointed to Google …where you look for some immediate relief…
