Just to be clear the statistics they give you are absolutely retarded unless you can get real numbers... I'll give an example --

So the graph only goes from 0 to 100 with no variation in between, so let's say that in one state only 4 people Googled the word in question, well guess what? That is still going to show a jump from 0 to 100, assuming that the prior day or time period no one had made the search.... even though 100 means 4 people and 50 means 2 people...

So let's say if all the states combined were only a thousand searches, well it would still show a huge spike, but you can see why that graph would be meaningless...

Don't know why they don't give you actual numbers to work with
