[...] Nettes Tool, das würde ich gerne von Google sehen, die mir doch wesentlich mehr Besucher schicken als Microsofts MSN. Das Tool findet man übrigens hier und von wem ich das jetzt akut habe, weiß ich nicht mehr, aber auf jeden Fall auch von Darren. Bisher keine Kommentare [...]

I ran this against a currently tiny blog that I am planning to build up. Virtually every word on the site is oriented toward retirement. The tool claims most of my readers are teens and mid-twenties. Either I’m wrong about how interesting retirement issues are to the iPod set (when i was twenty I couldn’t spell retirement. let alone read about it) or MSN’s data is seriously skewed.

It also apparently could not process a more substantial sized blog … perhaps becuase it’s in a sud domain folder?

Not too impressive of atool at this stage.

[...] I saw this on ProBlogger and thought it was very cool. Microsoft has a proof of concept site here where you can enter in a query or a URL and it will predict the gender and age breakdowns of likely readers/searchers. [...]

I think this is dodgy to say the least. Putting or local newspapers into it, The Age (a broadsheet) came up as a site for under 18s, putting The Herald-Sun (a tabloid) in, it came up as for over 24-35 year olds.

The small print at the bottom of the page says, “The statistics on this page are based on undisclosed size of sample data and are for proof of concept only. Actual results may vary.”

Am I right in thinking that when translated from Microsoft-ese to English this means, “We made the numbers up and are only kidding”?

For some reason, AdCenter thinks *all* (100%) of my readers are female.

Very strange.

Interesting tool, though it predicts just about all my websites having mostly a female demographic. Even my technology site had something like 60-40 in favor of women. My only site that came out in favore of males was a strictly gaming website, but even then it was only 65-35 when I thought it would be more like 85-15.

I’m not sure how accurate the tool is, but if it is accurate, it definitely gives me something to think about.
