Google Ad Planner - FTW

[Mike]

Okay, I got my invite and have been geeking out on this thing all day. Really cool stuff. Anyhow, I figured, "Let's see what pops up if I leave all the demographics alone and just input Wickedfire.com as the only criteria"

Kind of cool, it comes up with a fairly accurate list of sites that an average WF user would probably visit. Sites that you may have heard of:

ooomf.com - Smaxor's site
Seocracy.com - Rob's site
uberaffiliate.com - Who're the fags skewing this?
prosper202.com - tracking

You get the idea. So, I'm scanning the list and I see Syndk8.net listed. Okay, no surprise there, but according to Google Ad Planner, Syndk8's category is "Erectile Dysfunction". Thank god I just put my coffee down, or I would've ended up with a $1000 paperweight.

Anyhow, check out the exported CSV if you don't believe me.

LOL!! WarriorForum's category is "Intellectual Property"!! Apparently Google has never visited WarriorForum.

SEOBlackHat is listed as "Card and Casino Games"

I got my invite the other day, pretty amazing the amount of info they are giving away for nothing

Yeah, it's spectacular! I've actually been using it for "good" most of the day, but I got bored a little while ago and just started running some random shit.

Another example: I just typed in "thehun.net" and one of the related sites is milfsandfantasies.com, categorized as "Lyrics and Tabs".

Syndk8 did an experiment trying to rank for "buy viagra" using only whitehat. Then gathered up a bunch of the search statistics and whatnot and published a big report on them.
I suspect that's why

its pretty cool. How accurate do you guys think it is? My highest traffic site doesnt even show up, but some of my other throw away sites do. Some demographics arent what i expected at all.

is it pretty accurate when you look up your own sites?

Seems to be. The UV's it's showing for one of our larger sites is a bit low (maybe around 70% of actual) but it's still waaaaaay more accurate than any other tool I've seen.
