What Does Your State’s Google Search History Say About You?

It must be lonely up north. Alaskans are hungry for online information about mail order brides, finding ?adult friends,? and even bestiality, while Michiganites search the net for topless bars and answers to questions like ?where do babies come from??

These and other oddities were found to be the most popular search engine queries by residents of those states, according to a Google Trends analysis done by Estately.com.

This capture of oddities state-by-state wasn’t the original intentions of the online real estate listings company, though. Estately says it researched the information to benefit its site visitors, hoping to tell them more about the locations to which they might move. Instead, the results only found what might hinder home sales in particular states ? rightwing oddballs, sexual deviants, conspiracy theorists, drug enthusiasts, and outright idiots are found coast to coast.

Estately.com posted the results anyway, though, even with a map labeling the most popular search term from each state. ?No doubt this information will come in handy for anyone trying to decide which state they want to buy a home in,? its site says, ?especially for those curious how their potential neighbors spend their time online.?
