These trends are pretty volatile. The data was collected at the time when Larry Page was announced to succeed Eric Schmidt. They were pretty hot that day.

Actually, original study was posted to HackerNews on Monday night (50+ votes, frontpage 1am-8am PST), but US audience has missed it. Thanks for repost and added comments :)

Hey there, you're welcome. I found your study very interesting and very important to publishers and SEO. Good stuff and appreciate the comments!
