0It was probably those lingerie sites...
Probably need more cars and sports to throw you into the manly man side. Real men don't shop - unless its for electronics.
They have me as an 18-24 female. (Maybe I'll leave it. They're about the only ones on Earth who have me figured for that age. )
I'm 59.Google is making me older than I really am! They say 35-44 - really, only a year off on the lower end, but I'd rather be in the 18-34 demographic.

It thinks I'm a 35-44 year old female (it underestimated my age by a decade, but I'm more than happy with that
).
So can someone please tell me why the email spam I get is targeted almost entirely at males? (It mainly consists of advertising for gadgets and cars, and young women saying they want a relationship with me.)leroy, Google thinks I am a MALE 18-24.. I know for sure I am NOT a male and certainly not 18-24... well, once upon a time I was... 18-24, not male of course. Maybe too much Facebook? Is going to Facebook once a week too much? Well, at least I don't get emails selling wives from various countries, nor hair loss remedies and other male afflictions.

Traffic decline of HubPages is simply amazing
Just checked it on Alexa.com, and realized which (alleged) effect the Panda updates of Google has on traffic. Although I'm still happy with the traffic my Hubs have, are the foundations increasingly eroding. Are there any ideas to change this trend? http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/hubpages.com
