Interesting...

Today on Google trends, #3 sandwiched in between "FBI Jobs" and "Fairfax county public schools" is:

"Disney Vacation Club"

I wonder, is Google trends at least in part location based? Will you SoCal'ers see "Fairfax County Schools" as #4?

Or is it more personalized than that? Since google knows I have an affinity for Disney based on my searches and the web sites I have visited are items related to Disney being ranked higher just for me? If so, why is the "Vacation Club" coming up? Am I seeing an ad serendipitously inserted onto the google trends results?

EDITED TO ADD:

Nope, it looks like it was just my paranoia. I tried hitting Google trends from several different PC's on different LAN's in different areas of the country on diffrent ISP's, using an atomizer, and from a Linux distro that runs off my flash drive (with all cookies and history cleared). They all gave the exact same result set. So apparently the Disney Vacation Club is hot today. Are they running a special or something?
