frank visited *generic marital affairs site*
6 weeks later frank visited sites relating to STDs followed by doctors 
in his local area.
What has frank been up to I wonder?

bill hit up TPB, followed by fertiliser companies,  diesel suppliers, 
shipping companies, and a site that lets you purchase shipping 
containers. bill then hit ebay and his regular Christian radical group 
forum.

metadata can be quite useful and used for both good and evil.

That you can get from just looking at the domains visited, you don't 
even need query strings.
