Ran across two interesting bits of information recently, and thought I’d do an old school “mashup” (as the kids are calling it these days) of Google Trends and the highest paying keywords for Google AdWords. Some of the results are quite interesting, particularly the timeframes, spikes, and locations of the searches (plus, I’ll probably get some amazing ad revenue from posting this kind of stuff):

• college loan
• school loan
• student loan
• trial lawyers
• injury attorney (what’s going on in Apex, NC?)
• car insurance (bad drivers in the isles?)
• refinance mortgage (Apex again… McLean, VA is all over every equity loan and housing related chart)
• credit report (does the entire south have a credit problem?)
• lasik (Germany is apparently tired of their glasses)
• mesothelioma (wow, looks like SC is having some issues with that)
• accutane
• zicam (what a weird ebb and flow)
• botox (ah, that crazy fucked up Southern California)
