Alexa tool bar collects information but there is no way that the alexa tool bar can determine your age or your martial status etc. <br /><br />Im gonna ask a few of my friends who are primarily into analytics.

Appreciate your response though<br /><br />Pavan<br /><br />May be alexa toolbar monitors users behaviour and content to assess these- like if you often type "my son is doing this", "my daughter needs a dance teacher" "we're going to Bali with kids for vacation" etc then it might conclude that you have kids!<br /><br />Just a guess, not sure.<br /><br />Sampling theorem was another comment received at facebook, along with a suggestion that Alexa's credibility as such is doubtfulShrinidhi Handehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00875443161762278339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28310409.post-42212166137811942782010-10-07T06:51:01.642+05:302010-10-07T06:51:01.642+05:30I was wondering why ppl like mr anon read posts an...I was wondering why ppl like mr anon read posts and leave such lame comments(i'm assuming you leave such comments often)... The point behind the post if you consider to delve deeper is that a lot of websites out there can actually get a lot of personal data from various social networking sites that a lot of us login to and never bother to keep a track of. I remember the time when social networks just started and I used to get a zillion invites - mostly out of peer pressure a lot of people join most sites and then never go back to delete their data. Maybe this site uses that kind of loose information available on the net.<br />Of course i might be wrong and the website has a more complex process to get data - anyways its a good thing to ponder on and be careful about leaving your data out in the net.Anu Menonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12011811737233349465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28310409.post-34969125689876851192010-10-06T22:43:01.531+05:302010-10-06T22:43:01.531+05:30what was the point of writing this? seriously, suc...what was the point of writing this? seriously, such a waste of time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28310409.post-34400006300773137362010-10-06T21:48:47.888+05:302010-10-06T21:48:47.888+05:30Very interesting.

I would imagine it would be their guess work based on the insights they have on your key words and content.Pavan Pendyalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11535416678110438765noreply@blogger.com
