Google's data shows spike in holiday mobile searches and ad clicks

Since the holiday season is just around the corner Google looked into its data to understand how mobile behavior changes during national holidays throughout the year when people have the day off from work or school.

Using Labor Day as an example, which fell on Monday Sept. 3 this year, Google found that smartphone searches were up seven percent and tablets were up 25 percent compared to searches on a typical Monday.

Mobile ad clicks had an even higher jump than searches, with ad clicks on smartphones at nine percent and tablets at 39 percent more than ad clicks on regular Monday.
