| This graph doesn't show you anything. There's no representation of anything. It's just a squiggly line in the downward directions over time. We don't know what anything represents in this graph. |

8. How is the data scaled?
The data is scaled based on the average search traffic of the term you’ve entered.
There are two modes of scaling – relative and fixed – and the only difference between them is the time frame that’s used to calculate the average. However, fixed scaling is only available as a .csv export. Please note that the ability to see numbers on the graph and to export this data with either mode of scaling are available only after you’ve signed into your Google Account for Trends.
In relative mode, the data is scaled to the average search traffic for your term (represented as 1.0) during the time period you’ve selected. For example, if you entered the term dogs, the graph you’d see would be scaled to the average of all search traffic for dogs from January 2004 to present. But if you chose a specific time frame – say 2006 – the data would then appear relative to the average of all search traffic for dogs in 2006. Then, let’s suppose that you notice a spike in the graph to 3.5; this spike means that traffic is 3.5 times the average for 2006.
In fixed mode, the data is scaled to the average traffic for your term during a fixed point in time (usually January 2004). In our example, 1.0 would be the average traffic of dogs in January 2004. If you chose 2006 as your time frame, you would be comparing data for dogs in 2006 to its data in January 2004. Since the scale basis (1.0) doesn’t change with time, you can look at different time periods, and relate them to each other. (Note: For keywords without a historical record, it may not be possible to establish a fixed scale). |

Interesting Trends:
- "Gareth Emery" is overwhelmingly huge in Tunisia. Did he have a great gig there or something?
- "Tiesto" has been relatively level since 2004; huge spike in traffic in 2010 corresponds to "DJ Tiesto assures fans he's not dead following hoax news report"
- "John Digweed" slowly decreasing.
- "deadmau5" is huge in Ireland and English speaking countries; still increasing at a high level.
- "Dash Berlin". Malta loves him. The Mongols love him. Sharply increased end of 2009, slight downward trend now.
I think I'm done for now. |

Regarding the trance, its not just trance music that has been in decline if you type just "music" or "art" it is relatively correlating
"minimal techno" is doing well and apparently psy-trance is dying in 2010 ? (6 year low) house music has been quite steady
also um toronto is #1 consumer of mdma ???? |

I think torontonians just call it 'mdma' hence the bigger search numbers. It probably goes under a different slang name elsewhere. I would bet the UK probably leads in ecstasy/mdma consumption. |

I did an MDMA search also :) . Real MDMA has (had?) a drought for a while recently in the UK. You can see the beginning, rise, fall, and plateau of "mephedrone" recently, which replaced MDMA as the obtainable drug of choice, then became illegal earlier this year. |
