My Google Demographics
Google knows what I do--online anyway. My blog belongs to Google, I search almost exclusively on Google, and I have a (Google) YouTube account. So I was amused the other day when for the first time I checked my Google ad preferences. They were more or less right in regard to what I search for online (literature, spirituality, news, language references) but were off in a couple of key categories:
Jeremy Patterson
Age: 35-44
Sex: Female
Languages: French, English, Italian
I am a 28-year-old male (if you are female and named Jeremy, that's fine with me, but I'm just sayin' . . .) and know no Italian. I don't think I've ever searched for any Italian words online either, but who knows.
I figured even Google needs a little help sometimes, so I straightened it out and hope for more interesting ads in the future.
