As I’m writing this post I am just wrapping up a very relaxing Thanksgiving weekend with my family and friends. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you here in the states.

Today when I logged into my Google AdWords account, to tweak a few of my campaigns, I was greeted with the most wonderful data I’ve seen from Google in a long time. (Not including all the 1st page rankings I’ve been getting lately, of course.)
What is this delightful little tidbit of info you ask.
