Google's impression of you

This won't work if you use certain adblock software or block cookies.

Was pretty spot on for me, 25-34 male, rock music, online games... somehow it registered my locations of interest as Chicago though.

I've never been west of Ohio. I could care less about Chicago (sorry Cubs fans), but that does explain some of the weirdly targeted google ads I've gotten.

Linky no worky for me.

Your link no worky. All I get is a "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage"

Have to tell you, I don't think that's a functional URL.

Same here.

That's a pretty far-out URL.

THE URL DOES NOT FUCKING WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fail.

.

Soooo...y'all are saying I shouldn't bother trying that link?

Or is it? Maybe google just scanned all our computers and added all our demographic information to their database by clickig that link. Oh wait, I guess that would be a trap.

Damn, got called out 10 times before the exit window was closed! The link's fixed now. :ohdear:

I AM NOT 35!!! :raeg:
_Yet.

Ha! It didn't even pick up my location (which is Utah, BTW).

I'm not 35 yet either nor am I a female, at least not the last time I checked. You need to tweak your methodolgy there google.

I got the same response, ARNonny.

Apparently adblock works because it doesn't know shit about me. Neener neener! :science:

Guesses my age low (I haven't been 18-24 for 11 years) but did get my gender right. Didn't bother checking the interest categories, so the only thing they got right is that I'm a guy.

Arts & Entertainment - Music & Audio - Rock Music - Hard Rock & Progressive
Food & Drink
Games - Computer & Video Games - Adventure Games
Games - Computer & Video Games - Strategy Games
News - Sports News
Shopping - Apparel
Sports - College Sports
Sports - Team Sports - American Football

Age: 45-54
Gender: Male

Pretty damn good.

It didn't have anything on me, either.

I chose to opt out.

Yup, same here. I am satisfied with this.

Didn't work for me even after enabling cookies and disabling AdBlock Plus. I'm not interested enough to bother lowering my security settings any further.

Fail and fail. I'm female and 3 months shy of 50.

It got my age and gender right, but most of the areas of interest wrong.

And for some reason, it thought I was from Pennsylvania.

Ooh, burn.

It sounds like something's Amish with their tracking.

You're in rare form, today.

I had the perfect pun in mind, but I got distracted by a phone call, and the muse snatched it from my mind.

I mean, I Hudderite there in my hand, now nothing.

I'm guessing you'd have to surf around a bit with cookies/without ABP so that it can pick up information about you. It's like attaching a GPS tracker to a car: it's not much use until someone actually drives the car somewhere. :driveby:

Hmm. It said I had no id cookie. Can't it use my ego cookie instead?

Did you check your salt Shaker? It might be in there.

Google thinks I'm 25-34. I'm 38. I like Google more now than ever.

Google also has noticed that I'm into humor and shoe shopping. I haven't bought a new pair of shoes in years. But I'm young, so I'm okay with that.

I surrender.

Not even a last-Dutch effort? :poke:

I don't want to wind up in the Pittburgh.

Don't go, he mennonite no harm.

That's better, 'cos William and Mary won't do now.

Well, I'm never going back to my old school.

Has everyone in this thread gone Barker mad?

Luddite wouldn't give to start from the beginning.

Wow, how did it know you were stalking Solfy? That is impressive!

It thinks I'm 55-64 and Iowan. For the record, I'm a 28 year old Californian and elections junkie.

Ah, that would make sense. When I upgraded FF the other night, it apparently wiped all my cookies. Haven't done much surfing since, so I've probably got a fairly clean slate at the moment.

Huh. It thinks I'm younger than I am. Go me!

It also thinks I'm male. ::crying::

It knows only this about my tastes:

Finance / Investing
Games

I shop a lot on the 'net, and visit literature websites and newspapers and movie review websites, but this is all they could come up with.

I opted out of their adware services...so they got nothin' on me. :cool:

If only it were that easy....

Is this something that only works for people who have a Google account? One that they leave logged in?

It got my age right, location, gender, and profession right. However, me thinks that because I used to try to find jobs online. It got all of my hobbies and interests wrong, though.

I just got a new computer. Google doesn't seem to know much about me, but so far it thinks I like:

Perfumes & Fragrances
Computers & Electronics
Games - Puzzles & Brainteasers
Pest Control


The only one I can explain is the third one. Sporcle U.S. states. Took quite a few attempts. (Damn you, Missouri and Wisconsin! :fist:)

Damn I was really curious too. Not going to enable tracking cookies universally. Sorry Google-snatch.

Call-back to earlier poster -- I bought one of the rare sandwiches I eat (or can afford) from one of those supermarket deli counters. Called it, they did, a "Sammamish" -- I think that's supposed to be "Samm-Amish," but the chick on the counter didn't seem like she'd really know what marketing was up to, so didn't bother asking. Don't know what an Amish sandwich is like, but I saw one of those TV shows about Amish reality people, so I hope it'd be filled like a Hank Miller's dream.

Google thinks I'm old :(

Google thinks I'm a 45-54 man. Wow.

All my interests are sports related; I guess that why.
