    Where are all the Vikings fans...

    Apparently we are in North Dakota!

    I did a Google Trends search to see where the most Google searches for Minnesota Vikings came from.

    The number 1 state?
    North Dakota!
    The number 1 city?
    Fargo!
    Whoo hoo!
    Way to go my purple brethren!

    In fact North Dakota and South Dakota both ranked higher than Minnesota!

    http://www.google.com/trends?q=Minnesota+Vikings&ctab=0&geo=US&geor=all& date=all&sort=0

    (BTW, the highest ever search rate since they started tracking in 2004 was in the third quarter of 2005... the love boat >)

    Have you been bribing all your fellow Fargoians with free Jello shots again?

    Re: Where are all the Vikings fans...

    I can't believe a certain town in Southeastern VA didn't make the list.
    I guess I need to google faster/more.
    ;D
    Many many thanks to my talented friend Jos for the new Sig.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v343/josdin00/Vikings/Marrdro_sig.jpg

    Nice graphs with no legend, supporting data shown or ideology clearly explained.

    You also erred by not putting "Minnesota Vikings" in quotes.

    http://www.google.com/trends?q=%22Minnesota+Vikings%22&ctab=0&geo=US&geo r=all&date=all&sort=0

    South Dakota is shown as tops now.

    Thanks to Josdin for the awesome sig!

    This is interesting:

    The UK tops the list for "tits"

    nice post, good research with fun facts.

    Maybe we should do a poll to see where everybody's from...

    Yes, but Fargo is still number 1.
    Besides, that is a restrictive way to search anyway...

    As far as the graph, don't blame me, it is a Google comparative tool.
    Usually what we do in the marketing world is present two different searches and offer a visual comparison of them.
    Here is a comparison of Minnesota Twins vs Minnesota Vikings

    Re: Where are all the Vikings fans...

    Funny... If you just search 'Vikings', Minnesota tops the list along with many MN cities.
    I think us Minnesotans don't think of them as the Minnesota Vikings, but rather just as The Vikings.
