The connection can been seen in the growth of visitors to gadget and lingerie type websites. Hitwise has released the highest movers for the first week in December.

Expect to see the growth of CPC between Google Adwords, Microsoft AdCenter & Yahoo Sponsored Search spike during January for finance related keywords.
