Who does Google think you are anyway?

[Fourstring]

This is kind of neat.


Click the link, Google's adsense will tell you which demographic they have you pegged as, which in turn affects the ads you see.  I'm a 54 y/o male, apparently.  

[Giaka]

I'm pegged.

[Kneescrubber]

Did someone say cookies?  

[KLRchickie]

45-54 year old male

Likely something to do with motorcycles & VW parts

What's a girl supposed to search for?  Lipstick?!

Funny, you can tell who has their stuff locked down by the responses here

Since the cookie is tied to the browser you're using (and machine generally), that I'm 55-64, male, check out guitars, motorcycles, and look up recipes about meat and seafood is accurate for the iPad I'm currently on. I wonder what it would say about my main machine downstairs and my work laptop and two desktops.

(I'm 54 but will be 55 in April so it's not wholly off.)

Swimwear?  Really?  

[napper]

I could do that.  Let's see, you visit st.n regularly, you must be a 45-54 yo male.    That's me.  That's 80% of you I've met.  

I think if google read fourstring's posts more closely, they'd guess 28-35 yo male, married with an infant.  (Am I close?)

 Pretty damn close, and pretty damn creepy. There is some stuff missing though, and what's up with the Alaska thing?

[Orson]

I think Google considers anyone on ST.N is a 54 year old male...even bluepoof

I was a 35-44 year old male.  

[GTS_Rider]

They nicked me at the bottom of their age-range guess, just turned 45 a few months ago. It would be way cooler if they put a % guess on gender...  

I'm pretty boring, but at least they noticed my keen interest in Public Safety...

Me too.

[sodapop6620]

Some folks should run crap cleaner and malwarebytes every once in a while.  Google has no clue about me
