Apparently Google have a profile on all of us (I sort of knew this but I didn't know how it worked) so they can point the right adverts at us. This is mine;

EDIT; can someone tell me how to get rid of that smiley in the title?

Google have my categories as -

Finance - Credit & Lending - Home Financing
Sports - Team Sports - Cheerleading

Very accurate, they also have me as a 45-54 year old male. I assume the world locations they've picked for me (East Asia - Korea) is due to searches performed by my 21 month old daughter who does random searches on there.

Hmm, I'm 20. I could sort of understand the age if I had been looking at going on a cruise but the only cruise I've read about in the past months is the Concordia disaster!

 

[Mawsley]

I don't need Google to tell me that I'm a miserable old bastard with an interest in substance abuse and sexual deviancy.

 

[Siouxsie]

Age is correct but it thinks I'm male. But then this is a family computer and 1 of the 4 of us (probably the one who uses this the least) is.

 

[Orifice]

I've opted out of this. I know who I am, what I am, where I am, what I want. The wife keeps me fully informed.

Wrong on the age by about 6 years so not bad. It must hide the porn. Also, I never search for web comics, but I do subscribe to a few through Google Reader, it must use that too.

So why do I keep seeing adverts asking me to join the Navy?

I had opted out too :icon_bigg

Putting that on one side, you've got to admit that you do travel about quite a bit.

I click on that link and see no preferences listed.

 

[Motown Fox]

Age 45-54 so I am happy with that.
This is on my phone not tried it on the laptop yet.

 

[Dour]

I click on that link and see no preferences listed.

I don't think they collate porn searches.

 

[Steven]

I don't think they collate porn searches.

Phew, my dwarf porn searches can remain my little secret. :icon_razz I think the real reason is that I use Ghostery. :icon_wink

 

[Leesoh]

Apparently, I'm a bloke. Aged 45-54.

Figures.

I always suspected.

Off on the age by a couple of years. Other than that about right.
