First of all, we’re assuming EVERYONE in the world uses google(?). I admit its very popular but not so much in other countries, where yahoo, msn, infoseek and other’s still have market shares. In Pakistan, we seem to have a fetish for all things google (including myself) such as orkut, search, gmail and others.

So one reason why there’s such a HUGE difference between our results and those of others. Also, try searching for comparative search results of sex, porn and xxx and you’ll see a completely different picture..(?).

So suffice to say, different people from different countries search for different stuff. Since in pakistan, we cover everything in the blanket term of sex (being novice users maybe?) the results are high. But try trending for more specific sexual topics (gay, lesbian, etc) and you’ll find really different results. Maybe because most of the western public are not novices atleast when it comes to the language.

Im also very puzzled by the discovery of Hsar.. as to why arabic and croat return top results from languages, while pakistan is on top as a country?

Sami is right as well because if someone searchin for such terms,it doesnt reflect that pakistanis re animal sex lovers.It actually reflects that pakistanis dont get chance for having sex in reality and prefer to spend most of time for making online searches *wicked smile*

(Total Number of Searches for term ‘X’ in a Region) / (Total Number of Searches for ‘any’ term in a Region)

so according to the above formula it is basically the percentage of that term in that region.

Mind boggling results are due to the fact the denominator of above formula is much much bigger in countries where Internet users are higher in numnber.

So what does it mean to us? we dont have anything else to search apart from these terms ?

Recently I came across this gif image on the internet, showing the results of numerous searches (such as donkey sex, dog sex, baby sex etc), and in all the results Pakistan was shown on top (along with India and some other Muslim countries). After independantly verifying this, I was surprised to see this was indeed the case.

But after experimenting a bit more with this new service I found there was something definatly amiss about this new service from Google.

First off in all the searches Pakistan’s bar was way bigger than the one in second place, and I find it quite unusual for that to be the case. In all my years living here I’ve never noticed any unnatural tendencies of anybody towards the sexual habits of an animal of any type.

Secondly, in these lewd term’s results, if you go into the languages tab, it shows Arabic. Now, logically speaking, if the country on top was Pakistan, then surely the language on top should be English. I don’t think too many people in Pakistan use google in Arabic…and this seems to be the case only if you enter some lewd terms like the ones I mentioned. If you enter ‘Pakistan’, top rated region is Pakistan, and top language is English (which should be expected). But if you enter something like donkey sex, top region is Pakistan, and top language becomes Arabic. How google trends comes up with the connection of donkey sex, pakistan and arabic is beyond me.

I also can’t quite believe that India, with an estimated 18.5 million internet users, is out searched by Pakistan’s 1.5 million internet users when it comes to Bollywood. (all stats according to the CIA). And when I tried Shahrukh Khan, Morocco, with 800,000 internet users outsearched India. Wow. Way to go Morocco!!!

And strangly enough, the two biggest internet users, China (94 million) and America (159 million), hardly every show up on top in the results.

I tried some terms (popular TV shows in USA) that you would expect, with 159 million internet users, USA would be shown up on top, or atleast in the top three. I tried ‘Desperate Housewives’, but it seems like the 2 million internet users in New Zealand have nothing better to do but search for ‘Desperate Housewives’, USA coming in in 5th position.
I tried ‘Lost’, and USA was at 7th position. I also tried USAs highest rated show on TV these days, ‘american idol’, and again USA was in 4th place, behing Singapore, Malaysia and Philippines..then I guess people in America don’t user Google much…

Well I find most of the results from Google trends to be quite mind boggling to say the least, leading me to believe they are quite simply WRONG.

But if they are accurate…….
